This is why we have to take seriously the liberal part of liberal empire and liberal internationalism. If you hate liberalism then you would also hate this version of empire and internationalism. Many people who study this often refuse to take liberalism seriously (or hate it themselves.)
I am finding the weird Republicans/The American Right Don't Actually Care About Empire arc bizarre. I really really would have put being a great imperial power as something that wasn't fake to them, a value they actually held where it being sacrificed would cause very significant discontent.
