You aren't even smart enough to know what you're arguing. I'm not a neocon. A neoconservative would be defined as a former liberal who navigated to the conservative side due to hawkish opinions on foreign Affairs because of the GOPs aggressive stance during the cold war. It now is epitomized by the likes of Bill Kristol, favors nation building & has tenuous-at-best connections to the conservative movement. I was never a liberal. I popped out of the womb an extreme right wing uber conservative. I oppose nation building & the theories it rests on. I'm conservative on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE. I'm just smart enough to know that a moron like you will lead everybody over a cliff. But I don't have a doubt in my mind that you'll be convinced of your own genius & moral superiority the whole way down to your thousand mile an hour faceplant on the canyon floor! You're an asshat 😏

Wrong. It’s Lindsay Graham and the policies supported by the Quisling GOP that have already led California, Colorado, Virginia, etc., “over the cliff.” California is our future regardless of where we live. You can’t say you weren’t warned.

So you basically are a defeatist & have already thrown in the towel because you believe "California is our future". Now it all makes sense. You've given up & are bitter. I'm sorry, I have moments of weakness when I want to throw in the towel or believe the worst- but I'm mot a pessimist by nature. I still believe in the ability to change hearts & minds. Giving up, being bitter & trying to burn everything down advances absolutely nothing. I'm not going to have my defeatist actions become a self fulfilling prophesy. I sympathise with your frustration & understand the anger felt toward those making poor choices. However, California does not have to be our future. If you are trying to get across the folly of giving indecisive moderates & establishment conservatives too much support or power- I am trying to get across the folly of sacrificing control of a branch of government or even a seat in government because of resentment over that indecisiveness or Luke warm support. The obvious answer for both of us is to consider balancing the two in a way that ultimately advances what we both seek- conservatism- & also that ensure that we control the levers of power in or to defeat the left wings agenda 😉
