So-called “neocons” = left-wingers that pander to conservatives. All the same. The only “reality” that they were “mugged” by was the realization that in order to fool conservatives into supporting them, they must engage in said pandering.
Neocons are simply leftists, descendants of true communists in the 30s. They are very pro war and see reasons for launching it everywhere. This makes many regular Americans confuse them for “conservatives”. After all, a true conservative likes our military and is uncomfortable in an antiwar position.
So throwing in with world changing neocons feels normal. But in truth, neocons are exactly the same as the old USSR endlessly launching wars of liberation all around the globe. 30 years of this Bush/Clinton/Obama neocon crap has got to come to a close.
They are a global menace and are truly making America a hated entity worldwide.
