A rising analysis on left content spheres is that the people who are currently on the right are a cargo cult of the neoliberal and republican foreign policy hawks that came before them: they don't understand the mechanism that props up their wasteful, lavish lifestyles is the same that gives aid to their lackeys or engages in unequal exchange. These are people who are thoroughly convinced that the American Empire doesn't depend on the domination of the rest of the world, who have drunk the American exceptionalism kool-aid completely, undermining the very reason the US seems exceptional. And it really shows.
