Certainly not all modern Republicans are neocons, and for all intents and purposes, neoliberals are basically the same thing (capitalist gain > human lives). It's hard to relate to everybody else when you are born rich and never have to put an honest day's work in in your entire life.
You would probably garner more support if you didn't characterise your ideological enemies as the Legion of Doom from Super Friends. As much as you'd like to simplify things, life isn't an episode of a saturday morning cartoon. You may find this revelation shocking, but liberals and conservatives want the same thing - to improve the country. They simply gave different ideas on how to get there, which is the crux of the issue. You don't see me walking around saying that the Democratic platform priorities consist of stealing money and killing babies, do you?
Nah, the Legion of Doom are far more hands-on than neocons and neoliberals would ever be.
Once upon a time maybe. When they're making massive cuts to medicare, social security, infrastructure and etc, it sure doesn't feel as though conservatives are trying to improve the country. Especially while they simultaneously increase spending elsewhere and end up hiking the national debt up regardless.
The US has supported Saudi Arabia financially and politically for a very long time. The murder of Jamal Khashoggi should've been a definitive end to that. Regardless, both Republicans and Democrats agreed to end support for the war in Yemen, which is how the bill made it to Trump's desk in the first place. He's unilaterally decided that we're going to continue supporting that war.
I mean, ideally Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security would be eliminated altogether, but that's besides the point. You see one way to prosperity, they see another.
Yes, I see children and veterans starving to death in one of the richest nations on Earth as a problem, they see more money diverted to corporate welfare as a positive thing. We're just going in circles now.
It wasn't a dodge, we aren't in that war directly. We only support it via Saudi Arabia.
Not putting boots on the ground and getting us involved in another endless war was a good thing. All we did was help with some drones. Libya was always going to fail or succeed on its own merits from there, and it's certainly not easy to recover from a dictator figure ruling your country.
Yeah, I don't listen to the essential commands.
I never realized that you were so... right wing, for the lack of a better term.
True, and there's always that segment of the population which will gladly stay ignorant of the report's contents. That's why I'm glad subpoenas are starting to fly for people mentioned in the Mueller report, though. Some people need to hear things said on TV before they actually sink in.
"Trickle down" is a silly term invented by the left-wing to make fun of supply-side economic models. The principle works perfectly fine in practice, I don't know why people continuously repeat the myth that they don't.
Holy shit you can't be serious. Or if you are, I hope you live in Kansas so that you experience the effects of the horseshit economic theory you support first-hand.
There is one fact in the Mueller Report, No American Charged with Collusion. What people are debating on is Obstruction of Justice.
Obstruction of justice is a crime, even with no other crime present. For example, you could talk to/influence a witness of a crime that you had nothing to do with. That could be classified as either obstruction of justice or witness tampering. There's no prerequisite that another crime be committed to charge you with either of those things.
I just didn't expect him to be so, specifically. As in, it didn't even crossed my mind.
It is doing so well, that everyone has health coverage. Oh, wait.
Everything else aside including your opinion of them being completely off base, justice is what they wish to accomplish.
