Here are the political party platforms going back to 1840. Peruse them to see how deeply mistaken you are.

In 1868 the Democrats were railing against “negro supremacy” while little if any mention of race in the Republican platform.

In 1940 both parties were staunchly isolationist (though that would obviously change a couple of years later). Though to be honest, I’m not sure exactly where isolationism stood on the political scales of the time.

It was until the Democrat-regulated (through Barney Frank) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapsed due to bad loans created by government interference.

It was flawed deregulation in governments (both parties guilty) past that enabled the conditions for this collapse. By that time it was a dam waiting to burst.

Not really true, but even if it were— So what? Would you rather have good security, or be “liked” by a bunch of countries that eagerly stab you in the back at every opportunity?

That’s a bit extreme, isn’t it. It’s not an “everybody or nobody” when it comes to trust.
