Protoneocons like Shapiro misstep a lot
Protoneocons would have been liberal opponents of the New Deal.

All pretty bright especially the first three

They see the problem here especially demographics is destiny (boy howdy that applies to Israel in spades ) but they refuse to name it or replacement theory

They cling to polyglot unity theory which can miraculously work here to them

And they mold their historical facts especially about my region to support that which always irritates me as intellectually dishonest

When I know smart as they are they know their history better

If not they should read A Disease in the Public Mind which has uncanny relation to today

Shapiro is crackerjack bright

VDH erudite as hell I like to hear him wax

He did an encapsulation of the Biden era two days ago on his pods which was good

Very few talkies who really get it honestly

But we need all we can our side so I tolerate them

Pelham and I are Gottfried fans but even he goes off reservation too

Shapiro disdain for Trump borders on clinical

Boring his partner seems to be of the same work

Only Michael Knowles in their stable is unabashedly pro Trump

I’m not sure how to tell a protoneocon from a garden variety neocon but it’s an interesting idea.

I do agree that Victor Davis Hanson, Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro share most of neoconservatisms basic beliefs. But then I suspect that most Republicans today do. Meaning that they what they say would be indistinguishable from Cold Warrior liberal Democrats or Rockefeller Republicans.

Usually the tell for those of us interested in such ancient history is Liberal Internationalism in foreign policy, and gushing praise for the Civil Rights Act. Today’s conservatives would be outraged to learn that Ronald Reagan, Bill Buckley and Barry Goldwater all opposed the CRA. And then they’d wonder how we ended up with a Woke Big Brother government openly hostile to evil white male America.
