3-11-22 The Neocons vs The Neoliberals & The Social Pogromming Of America

In 2016, America's "Silent Majority" was no longer so silent. Their tongues untied by the gruff and ruff skyscraper builder, casino owner, turned reality TV star, turned presidential candidate Donald Trump. Trump gave them permission to boldly embrace values and beliefs that they had been told was not only unjust, but ultimately, Un-American. The previous president said it was time for America to lead from behind, and the values they had grown up with and cherished were no longer a fit for a world that was embracing a multitude of identities, along with an emphasis on ending cultural entitlements that went along with belonging to the middle/working class.

They were told that their ideas were outmoded and that they would have to be re-educated in order to have a seat at the table in Obama's America.

Trump changed all of that and with the bold sense of permission he channeled, the deplorables awakened. Their liberal animus was unleashed and America found itself in the midst a cultural that cut so deep and wide, that friends and families were ripped asunder by shearing force of extremely disparate political views.

But was this a byproduct of social sublimation via political correctness and an extreme overcorrection as a result or was there something else going on?

Were both sides, the left and the right, collective manifestations of the neoliberal vs neoconservative paradigm that had grafted itself upon the everyday life and political theory of easily programmed masses.

In this version of the Friday FARcast, I take a look back at when the Neocons broke from their liberal counterparts, and who the modern descendants of their paleo-conservative aggression are.
