The term was invented to describe Democrats that left the Democrat party during the time of McGovern or when the Democrat party became the peace party in the Vietnam era. (The Republican party was the traditional peace party, Republicans get us out of wars started by Democrats.)
Anyway the neocons invaded the Republican party and the stupid republicans allowed them to take over beginning with Bush 1. Finally with Trump we managed to regain control of the GOP and push the Bushbot neocons out of power in the GOP but it appears they have a big voice with the illegitimate occupier at the White House.
If some of us appear to favor Russia in this Ukraine-Russia war it is not because we like Russia, it is because we view the war as one between the nationalists (Russia) and globalists (Ukraine) and we are nationalists who are not interested in a great reset/NWO.
It is a war between imperialists (Russia) and patriots (Ukraine).
