Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I'm not going to let Neocons try to rewrite history and pass the buck on Trump. If Neocons hate Trump so much why did Republicans like Nikki Haliey, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Ted Cruz immediately kiss Trump's ring the moment they realized he was going to win? The entire Republican party is responsible for Trump and they were the main party that stoked the fear of minorities and the disgust of the lgbtq community. Every Republican president candidate ran on brown ppl = criminals and gay ppl shouldnt have rights. You neocons had no problem voting in Tea Party candidates who were just a direct reaction to a black president and they were just Trump light. Neocons don't like Trump because he makes you ALL look bad. That's its. According to his policies the vast majority of Republicans believe in rewriting American history, cutting funding to anything that helps ppl, privatizing every government organization, forcing their religions moralsbon others, making anyone who's not a WASP life a living hell. I know this because Republicans have been doing it since NIXON. For fuck sake you had a mass of Republicans on state and federal levels arguing against providing free lunches to kids in school!
You are all responsible for Trump because of the Republican voting strategy of fall in line and vote for anyone with an R next to their name. You all picked party over country. Hopefully now you realized that's a stupid idea. Democrats will take your vote but I'm going to be super pissed if they start catering to a bunch of ppl who historically voted for ppl who made the lives of everyone who wasn't wealthy, white, Christian, and straight miserable.
Neocons have lost power to the Tea Party yo.
You're pretending like Paul Ryan didn't stand up to the Tea Part and get deposed. Or McCain get discredited as Trump rose up.
But sure, forget our political struggle at your own peril. You need us this election.
Two party system. The only real action Neocons have is to vote Republican or Democrat. Democrats are very much against our values (abortion, and historically Democrats were stupidly antiwar and this wouldn't have supported Ukraine. But I'm glad to see Democrats turn around on that. Etc. etc). But there's a lot of alignment now if you wish to take advantage.
Neocons are a subgroup of the Republican base you 100% should be trying to switch over. It's politically stupid to ignore this opportunity.
