Corporate polls are often manipulated and the result dubious. But a recent Pew Research Center poll is a no-brainer.
A majority of Americans are sick and tired of globalist wars of conquest and think the government should mind its own business.
“Currently, 52% say the United States ‘should mind its own business internationally and let other countries get along the best they can on their own.’ Just 38% disagree with the statement. This is the most lopsided balance in favor of the U.S. ‘minding its own business’ in the nearly 50-year history of the measure,” Pew explains.
This reluctance to invade small countries is usually dismissed by the establishment as isolationism. But the poll results cast doubt on this explanation.
“Yet this reticence is not an expression of across-the-board isolationism,” Pew continues. “Even as doubts grow about the United States’ geopolitical role, most Americans say the benefits from U.S. participation in the global economy outweigh the risks. And support for closer trade and business ties with other nations stands at its highest point in more than a decade.”
The idea that America should disentangle itself from foreign adventures and instead concentrate on trade harks back to the founding principles of the nation. Thomas Jefferson and the founders considered “free trade in all parts of the world” as a natural right.
