The "brocons" are mostly bitter libertarians and libertines who are anti-Woke only because the Woke have the upperhand.
They would be anti-Christian if the Christians had the upperhand. They just can't abide anyone telling them what to do.
This was settled. trump won twice.
HMM, that’s weird. Sorry about that! If you go to Politico.com you will see it on the home page and can access it. I don’t subscribe there or anything so if I can access it you should be able to.
