    Any Con that isn’t drinking the MAGA koolaid in modern parlance. “Neocons” care about foreign policy and actually have principles, warped and weak as they may be, other than “I agree 100% with whatever Trump said this week”.

    Neocons are the Republicans tapdancing because Russia is being humiliated in Ukraine, while MAGAts are ready to give authoritarian countries free reign because they also loathe gay people.

      Hahaha - they do not have principles, as has been proven over and over by their inability to hold criminals to account in their own party.

      They use words that would otherwise indicate such, yes, but it’s absolute utter bullshit. They DO NOT CARE about the law, or governance in any way, shape, or form that does not serve them personally. That’s not having principles, that’s a flaming hypocritical bag of shit.

        Ah, you seem to have fallen under the false belief that “having principles = having good principles that I agree with”. Neocons are not just mindlessly going around doing evil. They are evil in measured, predictable, logically consistent ways, with actionable goals.
