Nick Fuentes: The GOP Is Less “America First” Than Democrats

Even though I have no plans to vote in 2026 or 2028, I basically agree with the case that Fuentes makes here that the GOP is less “America First” than the Democrats.

The New Yorker:

“Trump, in an attempt to make a new deal with the Iranian regime, is now entertaining many of the trade-offs that he blasted when Obama was in the White House. Obama, for his part, told me that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, had made the same arguments for armed confrontation with Iran to him that he did to President Trump. “I think my prognosis was accurate,” he said. It may be that Netanyahu has “gotten what he wanted. Whether that’s what is ultimately best for the Israeli people, I would question that. Whether I think it’s what is good for the United States and America, I would question that. I think there’s an ample record of my differences with Mr. Netanyahu.” …”

I say this for two reasons:

1. First, Bibi Netanyahu made the same arguments and the same case for going to war with Iran to Barack Obama and Joe Biden, but only Trump was too weak to stand up to Netanyahu. Obama deserves credit for standing up to Israel and AIPAC and negotiating the Iran Deal. As Fuentes notes, it is the GOP that is obsessed with Israel and this is reflected across the executive branch.

2. Second, Trump and the GOP are so obsessed with Israel that they were willing to commit political suicide to deliver a war with Iran for their Jewish donors. Trump didn’t just do something wildly unpopular. He destroyed his political coalition and created a global energy crisis. He antagonized all of America’s allies for Israel from Europe to East Asia to the Gulf states. He screwed over every other constituency in his coalition and their agenda in order to make Netanyahu’s dream of war with Iran come true. Even though they funded the war in Ukraine, the Democrats are not that captured by a foreign interest group.
