On this I have to disagree. The term neocon defines an ex Democrat who becomes a Republican because national security is their number one issue. So its properly used for Kristol, maybe Stevens and Schmidt, though Douchebag is a better term.
A Conservative (capital C) has always been one who is defined by believing in the free market and free trade, without exception. The concept of “fair trade” is not a Conservative value, its a newly adopted term that was pioneered by the unions makers as far back as the 1930’s (think Teamsters, et al).
The same with national security. Conservatives have always been a strong national defense party, all the way back to TR in the 1890’s. This “endless war” concept was conceived by Ron (the Coward) Paul, who if I used the term “Douchebag” to describe, would be an insult to Douchebags.
Even with that, the idea of National Security has changes since the fall of the Soviet Empire in 91. We have far fewer entanglements overseas than we have had in my adult life. We are not active on the ground in any war, in fact globally, this is one of the quietest “war” periods in modern times sans Ukraine, which will end in 2025.
What you are describing are Populists ideals and concepts, and with Trump, and sadly in part because of the scumbag Paulites, have become part of the Republican Party. I, for one, welcome all of y’all. I am glad that populists and Trump have decided to call the Republican Party home.
I do not lament the inclusion of the hard core Trump followers into the party, i think it helps us evolve BUT we all have to realize that while the Republican party platform will change, it will not, and should not, acquiesce to all of the Trump/populists demands. There is a place for everyone in the Party, and a Party that compromises and finds a way to successful blend the best of all policies, will be one that does the best for America.
I want to be clear, as I close, people like Kristol, Liz cheney, Kinzinger, Scarborugh, etc were NEVER really Republicans. They were there for convenience.
People like Bitter, they are real Republicans who we want to be part of the Party, and THEY NEED TO BE LISTENED TO, just like we need to hear what the Populists are saying.
I hope that makes sense. There is room in the Tent for everyone, but realize, 100% fidelity to an idea should not be a requirement for entry.

My wonderfully wise father-in-law used to say, “there is nothing as constant as change.” This phrase applies to everything in life including the composition and direction of our political parties. Both the Democrat and Republican Party have undergone an enormous transformation, and today are not what they used to be in our parent’s generation.
The democrat party used to be seen as representative of the working classes, and republicans more the business, white collar class. But, all that has undergone almost a 180 reversal, with the democrat party estimated to hold 70% of the wealth placating big business, while attempting to still pander to the underclass. Republicans, in contrast, are said to have 30% of the wealth and, under Trump, have become a beacon of light for the working classes. Associated with these changes more and more people are declining to show any party affiliation, becoming elusive “independents,” imperative in deciding how elections swing.
All of these changes, though, have decidedly altered what used to be considered traditional contours of each party. Consequently, the “new” Republican Party is far different than what some continue to consider to be the “real” Republican Party. This newer version has evolved into a blend of populism and conservatism creating a far more adaptable party amenable to reaching a wider spectrum of people – working poor and middle class, entrepreneurs, small business owners — of all ethnicities and creeds. The democrat party, however, has become the party of the elite, higher academia, products of establishment thinking. The biggest differences, however, is Republicans rally around supporting their own country more, while democrats prefer a more globalist approach. In fact the last election was less a competition between republicans and democrats than one between nationalists vs globalists. While such stances may moderate themselves in the future, I don’t see either party going back or fulfilling prior definitions as to how they were, or what they preferred, in the past.

Both men were defiled by the press, were considered radical by their detractors, and beloved by their supporters. The list goes on and on….

”The philosophy of both Presidents was “Peace Through Strength.” The goal of rebuilding the military was to keep the country out of war, not start new ones. Reagan and Trump opposed the neocon warmongering philosophy prevalent in the establishment wing of both political parties.
As President, Reagan did not start any wars, other than the rescue of our hostages in Grenada. After several terrorist bombings killed U.S. Marines in Lebanon, Reagan removed our troops from the country.
Similarly, Trump did not start any wars and removed our troops from Syria, while laying the groundwork for our military withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

They knew that the jab had a myriad of other side effects – and that it was especially unsafe for pregnant women, young mothers, fetuses, and infants. Yet Pfizer withheld this and other vital information from the public, and government officials in the U.S., the UK, the EU, and Australia sought to suppress it.”
