    Yes, you’re right. I’m being pedantic. I should have forewarned that, my bad.

    And you’re also right that people tend to tune out negative words. At first, sure. But, assuming you’re American, I bet I could cause some cognitive dissonance in you if you I use the right ones. Isolationism isn’t one of those yet, but in 30 years we need that word to sound the same as “Feudalism”

      No you did mention maybe you’re being pedantic, that’s why I brought it back up. I wasn’t trying to be a bitch lol

      And yeah, isolationist really is a more accurate term. However I’m thinking that the right has indoctrinated their voter base against it.

      I don’t have hard evidence for that argument, it’s just the vibe I get living here.
