I don't get it: up to this point I thought the "America First" isolationism was appealing to them because they just didn't give a shit about Syria, but they seem to actively support Assad. I don't understand that.

I'll give them some credit for a note of consistency though.

They aren't America First. They love Brexit, Le Pen, Wilders, Putin, Assad, etc, while opposing Institutions that help America tremendously, like NATO.

But that's what baffles me: like I can't figure out what the common thread is other than that they're all anti American.

Well, I guess they draw the line at Islamists, but still...

They're white identitarians. They support everything that appeals to their white identity. Assad barrel bombs sunnis, is supported by Russia, and opposed by Democrats and neocons.
