    (It's relevant, though, to note that they maintained their anti- Roe v Wade position only until shortly before the election. Shortly before the election, Trump flip-flopped on abortion; on forcing rape victims to carry to term)

      Monroe doctrine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_Doctrine :

      > After 1898, the Monroe Doctrine was reinterpreted by lawyers and intellectuals as promoting multilateralism and non-intervention. In 1933, under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the United States re-affirmed this new interpretation, through co-founding the Organization of American States.[7] Into the 21st century, the doctrine continues to be variably denounced, reinstated, or reinterpreted.

      I don't recall Monroe (or Madison?) having been so implicated in extensive grift or graft?
