I gather that your use of the term “paleocon” is used as a negative application, yet the John birch society would be described as the pinnacle of paleoconservative ideology.

What specifically do you take issue with in the paleoconservative perspective? To which item in the below description are you specifically opposed?

“Paleoconservatives support restrictions on immigration; decentralization; trade tariffs and protectionism; economic nationalism; isolationism and a return to traditional conservative ideals relating to gender, culture, and society.[19]

Paleoconservatism differs from neoconservatism in opposing free trade and promoting republicanism in the United States. Paleoconservatives see neoconservatives as empire-builders and themselves as defenders of the republic.[20][21]

Paleoconservatives tend to oppose abortion, gay marriage and LGBTQ rights.”

You couldn’t be more wrong. Wouldn’t it be smarter to ask what I mean before jumping to a conclusion?
