The truth is that in the run-up to the Iraqi war, only neocons dared put their heads above the parapet around here. Neocons were downright popular, and paleocons were purged left and right. And now this rich performance of community amnesia and denial. “Who, me,a neocon?”. It’s disgusting.
i remember when libertarians were included in the tent to the extent of having a Liberty Caucus, the remains of which are still here. But being overtly libertarian in the main forums can get someone banned. It’s a strange place these days.
