The Neocons are on board

The Democratic Party is not what it used to be. Donald Trump’s rise to power in the US in 2016 was accompanied by a mass exodus of neoconservatives from the Republican Party. William Kristol, Max Boot, David Frum, Rick Wilson, Jennifer Rubin suddenly became Democrats, accusing Trump of betraying the ideals of democracy.

This convergence started during the Obama years, when Max Boot wrote that Hillary Clinton was a “powerful” voice “for ‘neoliberalism’ which is not so different in many respects from ‘neoconservativism.'” Figures on Biden’s foreign policy team like future Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the national security adviser Jake Sullivan, or Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines awere notorious interventionists.

However, Trump’s rise to power was a turning point when neocons began to declare their disillusionment with Republicans en masse. Consequently, their influence in the Democratic Party and its affiliated media increased, where neocons like Max Boot became the leading experts on foreign affairs. Nearly 300 former Bush officials endorsedJoe Biden in 2020.

Briefly, the doctrine of these people can be formulated as follows: the US should actively interfere in the politics of other countries, remove unwanted regimes, promote liberal democracy with all its might, ensure its planetary hegemony by all possible means and fight against countries that challenge the value and military hegemony of the West: China, Russia and smaller countries like Turkey or even Hungary, where sovereign and “authoritarian” tendencies are too strong. And of course, Israel must be guarded at all costs.

There used to be physical assassination of those who did not chose to “play“ and now we are witnessing character assassination of those.

This actually reminds me of Hoveida’s summary trial where a prosecutor would not give a chance to him to defend himself. A very sad period in US. A very sad period. As soon as they see a threat and popularity by a candidate they want to kill it.

”you asked me a question, allow me to answer that question”

It is these type of inappropriate behavior of the party members which is departing many of the Democratic base especially the millennials who are passionate about the party’s values.  But I am hopeful, what’s inevitable is “change”, and one day we will put this period behind us.

When President Reagan said this below, I remember we the liberals used to laugh and make fun of this statement, that he is an illiterate and this SOB does not understand what fascism is, does not understand what Liberalism is.  40 years later we witness that there was a merit to what he said.

When the government is infested and infected with the hawkish fascist warmonger neocon republicans and their agenda, freedom of speech goes down to toilet.  Anyone questions anything is a conspiracy theorist.

“ I spent my life in the Democratic Party, I devoted my life to the values of this party…. This is an attempt to censor a censorship hearing… censorship is antithetical to our party… it is the basis for our democracy… it sets us apart from all of the previous forms of the governments…We need to be able to talk… And the First Amendment was not written for easy speech.. it was written for the speech that nobody likes you for“
