This reads about as good faith as "all lives matter" being shouted in the faces of people at "black lives matter" protests.

I'd love to be wrong on this but so far there has been a lot of egregious isolationist behavior that doesn't match up with something I would personally support as "America First". A truly good faith policy of non-isolationist, non-hate-based "America First" would come down hard on falsely imprisoning us citizens, destroying us soft power, abusing us allies, manic tarrifs (even without the billions in insider trading happening around them), blatant corruption, selling pardons, and the massive waste and diversion of us tax money. These things hurt America; honest shepherds don't cover up for wolves in the flock.

I think most us folks would support the idea that our government should help our country as the number one priority. It would be nice if all we debated was which policies to use and on which timescales to focus.

Ironically, the current "America first" approach you're trying to gaslight about is actually putting a bad taste in folks' mouths and hurting any honest cause wanting to push this forward.
