Regretful that you once considered yourself a neoconservative? Well, jump right in, the water is warm... amgreatness.com/2019/07/31/con…

They populate most of the Beltway clique of once-influential thought and political leaders who controlled the Repub Party for more than two decades and whose collective incompetence, arrogance, and intellectual torpor resulted in their ouster in the form of Trump’s election.”

Tucker Carlson, a one-time editor at The Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol’s neocon vessel, vented some of his own regrets at the National Conservatism event (video linked in piece). Norm Podhoretz offered his own confessions in an April interview with CRB. Plenty of rank-and-file...

Republicans feel the same. In the end, being a neocon meant having no skin in the game. Wasn’t your kid being sent to war. Wasn’t your job being lost when manufacturers relocated to another country or closed up under the mantle of “free trade.”

It wasn’t your wage that was suppressed because of unchecked illegal immigration. It wasn’t your suburb hollowed out by unfair trade arrangements.

Now we know why neocons mostly turned a blind eye to middle Americans: They hold them in contempt:

Now they are actively siding with the Left to defeat Trump and destroy the GOP. You know, the same party they used and exploited for more than two decades to gain political power and land cable news gigs and sell magazines. Shame on us, I guess:
