We are all better off going to war with (against) the people trying to send us off to unjustified wars.

That is why we vote. Canvas your neighborhood. Start local. Go to your city counsel meetings. Tell your representatives what you think or even run for local office. Support the people that won't take us to war. Democracy works when people participate.
Sometimes unjustified wars can have pretty big up-sides though. Preventing jihadists from getting nukes for example is potentially a huge up-side.
There is then also an upside to go to war with the white/christian nationalists fundamentalists in the white house, to get them away from nukes.
If you don't see the difference between christians and jihadists you're hopeless.
They provide the same threat to me. So their differences makes little difference.
