Jeannette Rankin - Republican and pacifist.

People tend to forget that before Pearl Harbor, most conservative Americans and large parts of the Republican Party were isolationist and adamantly against entering the war on behest of the “Jews and British”. This sentiment was much more prevalent - also beyond the ‘America First’ movement - than the pushers of right-wing romantization of America’s role in WW2, Churchill and all things Jewish, would like to admit.

Rankin also voted against going to war with the Kaiser in 1917. She later took part in anti-Vietnam demos. Like my paternal grandmom and stepgrandmom, she lived into her 90's
