    It was a violent attempt to attack democracy. And you are trying to justify it. Even the most far leftist on this forum and even the most far-flung neo-con is far less of an enemy of democracy than you and your ilk are.

    Actually majority of neocons views are very conservative.

    I guess that makes people like DeSantis and Trump neocons

    People don't like Trump because he is a liar and a whiner. It has nothing to do with being neocons. You slap that label on any one who doesn't agree with your views.

    I asked, and you avoided answering my question, so there is nothing more to say

    Yes of course. Democrats like to wrap themselves in Trump flags scream about how they hate Democrats. LOL.

    No, such idolatry is, and always will be, a very Republican thing.

    Why do conservatives pretend to be Libertarians and then try to codify ways to control who marries whom and what a woman can do with her body?

    Yet the only way Trump won office was by the Electoral College votes - not the will of the majority of Americans.
    Many states don't allow Independent voters to vote on the party choices in Primaries - which means the Republicans
    and Democrats now control even though they have a minority of registered voters.

    There are a few things true conservatives greatly hate:
    (1) authoritarianism
    (2) the authoritarianism of governments which is called totalitarianism.

    A true conservative wouldn't force their religious beliefs on others.
    What you're describing are neocons, er, non-conservatives who insist on being considered conservative for some reason.

    Even though I'm not conservative (I'm literally centrist), I'd say that the federal gov't recognizing gay marriage as marriage is way authoritarian. What I mean is gays should be able to legally join but should call it something other than marriage since gay marriage isn't marriage.

    IMO, the definition of marriage should be left to the states like abortion and gun ownership.

    Say what you want about FOX but they allow reporters with differing views

    this also proves that fox is not beholden to trump the way some lefties on here claim

    all this proves is that fox is more honest or less dishonest then the other MSM networks

    So what? The FBI, for example, took away the chance of the opponents of Joe Biden to talk about his son and their dealings with foreign governments.:roll:

    Neocons are, IMO, 9 percent of the GOP. Why would Fox News allow someone with a 9 percent standing in the GOP like Baier have a Monday through Friday and Sunday show on Fox News and all in prime time?

    Heck, if Fox is gonna keep Baier, why didn't Fox keep Chris Wallace (and keep Wallace in prime time) since Wallace was also a fringe element in the GOP and a neocon?

    To me (and I have direct training on libertarianism from my dad the libertarian, the problem with neocons is the their high levels of authoritarianism. Their unwillingness to compromise and their demand that it's their way or the highway which is why our American gov't is in such trouble.

    You've been challenged, several times, on this, and you have failed to respond every time. There is 0 evidence that he is "suppressing" anyone.

    Certainly those who still support Trump hate it with a burning passion.

    Your posts are filled with misinformation. How could State Attorney Generals and state and county precinct officials validate the pandemic rules 2020 election since they weren't able to investigate votes before they were cast???Which is precisely how State Attorney Generals and state and county precinct officials are able to validate votes only if they can validate them before they're cast.

    Since when are votes investigated before they are cast? If they had a legitimate concern about how things were being done and wanted to challenge it, they could have brought it before the courts. Your posts are filled with not only misinformation, virulently anti-democratic, anti-libertarian bullshit the likes of which this country has never seen. For ****'s sake, your average kindergartner understands that you can't "validate" something that hasn't happened yet. Learn from them.

    Again, your posts are filled with misinformation. Trump tried to get the 2020 validated for its freeness and fairness (which no one has ever done). After the 2020 was validated for its freeness and fairness Trump would've lived with the results, IMO.

    Again, well said.. But to the DNC defense, most conservatives vote for the lure of entrepreneurship, or labor with advancement in job pay and climbing the corporate ladder. Whereas the left have been lured in to expecting to fleece those that climb to the top of success.. And now have one trick/skill now and that's hoping their beloved DNC somehow after all these decades finally come thru with wealth distribution :)

    How can you be so desperate as to make up bull **** like this. The FBI "took away" no such right. People continued talking about this. The FBI never took that right away. And this is how you know you are sinking in a cesspool of bull **** . . . you keep making **** up that in no way reflects reality.

    And, again, you are making **** up and being disingenuinous. Trump tried to get MILLIONS of ****ing votes taken out. He never gave two shits about "freeness and fairness." And he never cared about validation. He only cared about winning. And ONLY the most EXTREME of AUTHORITARIANS support his efforts to do so. Period.

    That was my main job at my state precinct to validate votes before they were cast. If there were questions about the validity of a vote, the vote was made on a provisional ballot where the provisional ballot would be deemed valid or invalid at a later date.
