It sure seems likely doesn't it? I'd say that for most it's true, one way or the other. (revolving door policies, book deals funded by the CIA, etc.) Some though just end up buying their own propaganda.
Denial is a strange creature. I triggered a Harvard educated lefty in his 70's yesterday by suggesting that Democrats were channeling their "inner neo-con". This man decided I was the reincarnation of his dead Fundamentalist Religious parents. He went on this tirade about how he thought he could try to get along with me but that suggesting Democrats were war mongers was the final straw. I really was no different than his dead parents, who probably put him through college, but embarrassed him terribly when his lefty friends came around.
He truly could not allow himself to believe that the Democrats are now warmongers. I listed all the different wars they have pushed for since W left office and he had an excuse for why every single one of them was Different than Republican wars.
Dems are sold war based on "LOVE" they Think Republicans are sold war based on HATE and that the difference somehow matters. "Purple thumbs" are a worthy reason to destroy a village, xenophobia isn't. Protecting the world from an evil dictator like Putin is likewise done out of love and concern, even if it means destroying all of The Ukraine.
Strange isn't it, how does a Harvard man, still have daddy issues well into his 7th decade on earth? And how can they NOT see that Democrats are also war mongers? Can they really believe democrat wars are love fests?
How on earth can anyone defend aiding and abetting a war between two of the most corrupt nations on the planet? Oh, maybe politicians of another corrupt entity can.
Exactly and how does a leader like Zelenski get talked into sticking his people in the middle of a war between these two corrupt actors? Has it ever turned out good for nations or leaders who get stuck in our proxy wars? Trump isn't exactly a big fan of history but Z must have skipped the class all together, that or he's being paid exceptionally well and has a very good bug out plan.
What happened to the Democratic Party? Sure, it was the party of slavery in the 1800s, but when I knew the Democratic Party as I grew up, they were the good guys. It was the peace party of JFK, RFK, and MLK, Jr....oh, that's right, they were ASSASSINATED.
That's what happened to the Democratic Party. Even HHH, Hubert Humphrey, the happy warrior, couldn't beat Nixon (it was a very suspicious election), and that was the end of the Democratic Party I was for. LBJ was a big reason the Democratic Party went mad.
Now, the only party that kind of represents my views is the Libertarian Party, and they are a mess. This is why I don't vote.
They have to be getting kickbacks. The folks who love wars so much must be on the take in some way.

Brad, Did this 70s guy defend LBJ and the Vietnam War? How the hell did he do that?
I only listed the more recent ones, should have added LBJ for sure.

Brad, Zelensky is a so-so comedian who was offered a lot of money and mansions in the "Free World". Z-Man sold his soul to the company store.
Look at Zelensky's ears. They are pointed. Never trust a man with pointy ears.
