      "body": "Speaker Johnson, Vice President Vance, First Lady of the United States, Second Lady of the United States, members of Congress, and my fellow Americans: our nation is back—bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before.\n\nLess than five months from now, our country will mark an epic milestone in American history: the 250th anniversary of our independence.\n\n“The golden age of America is upon us,” the president declared. According to the speech, the state of the Union is strong. The border is secure. Zero illegal aliens have entered the United States in the past nine months. Inflation is plummeting. Incomes are rising rapidly. The economy is booming like never before.\n\nGasoline, which once peaked above $6 a gallon, is now reportedly below $2.30 in most states. The stock market has set 53 record highs since the election. American oil production has increased by more than 600,000 barrels per day. More Americans are working today than at any time in the nation’s history. Under the administration, 2.4 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps.\n\n“We finally have a President who puts America first,” Trump said.  \n“I put America first.”\n\nThe speech framed the core duty of government as protecting American citizens above all else. “The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”\n\nTrump also promised peace—but on his terms.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmQpez9zUFWwb8fFcHyR1RQtDrG6CiVb8C5T18tvEgVj3C/pasted_image_1780738874585.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\n“As President, I will make peace wherever I can,” he said. “But I will never hesitate to confront threats to America wherever we must.”\n\nTwo hundred and fifty years, he reminded the nation, is a long time in the life of a country. And according to the message of the speech, the golden age of America has arrived.\n\nThe Reality of the Cost-of-Living Crisis  \nYet the lived experience of many American households tells a different story.\n\nThe cost of living remains one of the largest economic pressures facing families across the United States. Polling from The Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos suggests many middle-class Americans feel locked out of basic economic security.\n\nFor millions of households:\n\nBuying a new car is increasingly difficult\n\nHealthcare costs remain high\n\nHousing has become unaffordable\n\nEven with lower gasoline prices, consumer spending pressures remain strong.\n\nInflation has slowed to around 2.4%, but that number hides deeper pressures in household budgets.\n\nKey costs have surged since the pandemic:\n\nMortgage payments: up roughly 36%\n\nRent: up around 30%\n\nFood prices: up about 30%\n\nWhen necessities rise faster than wages, the official inflation number means little to ordinary families.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmaiyv4wqJEu5KZyYtNSgj7ai1hzpQMYiNfEAtMdwgZ5z3/pasted_image_1780738970491.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nMeanwhile, the U.S. dollar has quietly lost purchasing power.\n\nBiden’s Counter-Argument  \nFormer President Joe Biden responded to Trump’s speech by arguing that today’s economic stability rests on policies implemented during his administration.\n\nSeveral major policies shaped the economic recovery after the pandemic:\n\nEarly 2021  \nAmerican Rescue Plan – $1.9 trillion\n\nReopening of the economy\n\nA major demand surge\n\nSupply chain restrictions\n\nMid-2022  \nInflation peaked near 9%, driven partly by energy shocks following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.\n\nThe Federal Reserve responded with aggressive interest-rate increases.\n\nBiden’s supporters argue the economy stabilized because of infrastructure investment and economic stimulus begun during his administration.\n\nThe COVID Spending Era  \nMassive government spending during the pandemic occurred under both Trump and Biden.\n\nUnder the Trump administration in 2020:\n\nCARES Act – $2.2 trillion\n\nNear-zero interest rates\n\nLarge-scale quantitative easing\n\nCOVID shutdowns and stimulus payments\n\nSurging household savings\n\nTrump also declared a national emergency on March 13, 2020, unlocking emergency federal funding powers.\n\nAmericans received $1,200 stimulus checks, expanded unemployment benefits, and access to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).\n\nBetween 2020 and 2021, roughly $800 billion was distributed to businesses through PPP loans to keep workers on payroll and prevent mass layoffs.\n\nThe Ukraine War and U.S. Spending  \nSince Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the United States has provided massive support to Kyiv.\n\nCongress approved roughly $170–180 billion in aid.\n\nThis includes:\n\nMilitary weapons and training\n\nHumanitarian aid\n\nEconomic support for the Ukrainian government\n\nApproximately $30–40 billion has gone toward direct economic assistance. This funding helped pay the salaries of Ukrainian teachers, healthcare workers, and civil servants through the World Bank’s PEACE program.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmbpYoYhKrwoiMaWoCEj4sX6WR5RjsKuoxoKB1hiUtwGWR/pasted_image_1780739078825.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nBetween 2022 and 2025, total Ukrainian budget support from the U.S. was about $35 billion, averaging roughly $11–12 billion per year.\n\nAt the same time, U.S. deficits are projected to total around $20 trillion between 2025 and 2034.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmcd9G7vKPc1h2NjZc6YBzgGQJTDL2UGkPD8EBdsJLsQna/pasted_image_1780739188958.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nIran and the Nuclear Question  \nTrump has claimed that U.S. strikes on Iran in June 2025 destroyed Iran’s nuclear weapons program.\n\nHowever, intelligence assessments from the Defense Intelligence Agency suggested a more complicated reality.\n\nAccording to these reports:\n\nIran was not actively building a nuclear weapon\n\nIt remained years away from producing one\n\nThe country did not possess a confirmed nuclear weapons program\n\nThe strikes targeted nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and the Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility.\n\nEnrichment operations were temporarily disrupted, but Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was not destroyed.\n\nTrump nevertheless insisted:\n\n“They can never have a nuclear weapon. I’ll say it again—never.”\n\nHe also publicly encouraged Iranians to challenge the Islamic regime.\n\nIran’s Leadership Transition  \nIran’s Assembly of Experts later elected Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new Supreme Leader.\n\nBorn on September 8, 1969, Mojtaba is closely tied to Iran’s hard-line clerical and security establishment and maintains strong relationships with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).\n\nHe was associated with political forces supporting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s controversial 2009 reelection.\n\nThat election triggered the Iranian Green Movement, a mass protest movement that was ultimately suppressed by the regime.\n\nTrump’s Position on Iran  \nTrump has taken a contradictory tone on Iran.\n\nAt times, he has threatened military action.\n\nAt other times, he has expressed interest in negotiating a deal.\n\n“I would like to reach a deal with Iran,” Trump said.  \n“I would prefer that to bombing the hell out of it.”\n\nAt the same time, he claimed Iranian nuclear facilities had been “completely and totally obliterated.”\n\nPublic Opinion  \nPolling suggests Trump remains a deeply polarizing figure.\n\nA YouGov/Economist poll found:\n\n38% approve of his presidency\n\n59% disapprove\n\nA separate Washington Post–ABC–Ipsos poll found roughly 60% of Americans disapprove of his presidency.\n\nThe Legacy of the Iraq War  \nTrump built much of his early political appeal by criticizing U.S. wars in the Middle East.\n\nIn 2016, he said:\n\n“We’ve spent trillions of dollars in the Middle East. We’ve spent lives, we’ve spent money.”\n\nThe Iraq War began on March 20, 2003, when the United States invaded Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power.\n\nBetween 2003 and 2011, the war cost roughly $800–900 billion in direct spending.\n\nTrump’s campaign rhetoric focused heavily on what he described as the failure of the war.\n\n“They lied,” he said during the campaign.  \n“They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none.”\n\nThe Rise of ISIS  \nThe chaos following the Iraq War helped create conditions for the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).\n\nISIS originated from a terrorist group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.\n\nAfter he died in 2006, the organization evolved into the Islamic State of Iraq, later led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.\n\nIn 2014, the group declared a caliphate across parts of Iraq and Syria.\n\nThe Iran Nuclear Deal  \nThe 2015 Iran nuclear agreement was designed to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.\n\nThe negotiating powers included the P5+1:\n\nUnited States\n\nUnited Kingdom\n\nFrance\n\nRussia\n\nChina\n\nEuropean Union\n\nIran\n\nThe goal was to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.\n\nIran insisted its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes, including scientific research and medical uses such as cancer radiation therapy.\n\nClinton’s Hard-Line Position  \nHillary Clinton supported the nuclear agreement but emphasized a willingness to use force if necessary.\n\n“As President, I will take whatever actions are necessary to protect the United States and our allies,” she said.  \n“I will not hesitate to take military action if Iran attempts to obtain a nuclear weapon.”\n\nShe also warned:\n\n“There is absolutely no reason to trust Iran.”\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmUvaush3ZmrA2CPu6sKwzdHgdayF1CBf3pbqJSYvjHf28/pasted_image_1780739272760.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nTrump the “Peace Candidate”  \nDuring the 2016 campaign, Trump presented himself as a candidate who would end America’s “endless wars.”\n\n“We have to stop wasting blood and treasure on endless wars in the Middle East,” he said.\n\nHis foreign-policy speech promised:\n\n“We will stop trying to build democracies overseas.”\n\nYet at the same time, he argued for a stronger U.S. military.\n\n“Peace through strength.”\n\nHe even criticized the Iraq War directly.\n\n“George Bush made a mistake,” Trump said.  \n“We can make mistakes. But that one was a beauty.”\n\nJeb Bush responded:\n\n“My brother kept us safe.”\n\nThe Final Question  \nTrump built much of his political brand on opposing endless wars.\n\nBut his actions—and the policies that followed—raise a fundamental question.\n\nWas Trump truly a peace candidate?\n\nOr was that message simply another political strategy?\n\nIn the end, the answer may define not only Trump’s presidency but the future direction of the Republican Party itself.\n\nReferences\n\n[https://www.astrid-online.it/static/upload/trum/trump\\_sotu\\_2020.pdf](https://www.astrid-online.it/static/upload/trum/trump_sotu_2020.pdf)\n\n[https://www.factcheck.org/2026/02/factchecking-trumps-state-of-the-union-address/](https://www.factcheck.org/2026/02/factchecking-trumps-state-of-the-union-address/)\n\n[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-iran-attack/?utm\\_medium=Social&utm\\_source=Facebook#Echobox=1773079798](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-iran-attack/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1773079798)\n\nThis Hive article is based on a longer Opinomail analysis examining Trump’s State of the Union address, the transformation of the Republican Party, and the broader political trends shaping American conservatism.\n\nIf you enjoy political analysis, political history, ideology, and commentary on current events, consider subscribing to Opinomail for future articles and updates.\n\nRead the full article on [https://matthewjlittle.substack.com/p/trumps-state-of-the-union-and-the](https://matthewjlittle.substack.com/p/trumps-state-of-the-union-and-the)",

Progress is movement for movement’s sake.”\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmUj4BiTvjE58jR24BUhc3vKpUBbWjSkh8DD2xqYhsckYE/pasted_image_1780731427044.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nThere have been over sixty privately funded neoliberal think tanks in Australia since 1979. There was also a rise of the neoliberal Dry faction of the Liberal Party in the 1980s.\n\nWhat Robert Manne said in April 1993:\n\n“Since the early 1980s, a campaign has been mounted within liberal-conservative quarters, actually to discourage free discussion. This has occurred both within and beyond the Liberal Party. Old small-l liberals have been dismissed as wimps, and bleeding-heart churchmen have been silenced for the temerity of thinking they might contribute to discussions of issues like unemployment or social welfare. Those opposing the economic rationalist New Zealandisation of Australia have been marginalised as snake-oil merchants.”\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmYoPcGXYqUHc7CtqrmBswXEetrhgFT2y255hTFX9ATSjB/pasted_image_1780731495142.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nThere is an elite New Right movement in Australia, with about 1,600 people as of 1994. Spokespeople come from the business world, such as the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) or the Tasman Institute. At the same time, their dollars come from corporate donations from large companies such as McDonald’s, Shell, ANZ, Macquarie Bank, the Pratt Foundation, and Philip Morris, as well as from individual donors.\n\nPolitical historian Dean Jaensch said:\n\n“The heritage of the Liberal Party of Australia, which was divided from the start, included the Fusion Party of Alfred Deakin and the two non-Labor parties in Australian politics: the Right Free Traders led by George Reid. To their left, between the Free Traders and the Labor Party, were the Deakinite liberals.”\n\nThe Liberals before 1980 were not ideological or conservative.\n\nPauline Hanson ran in the 1996 election and went on to win Oxley as an independent with a 19 per cent swing. Hanson said:\n\n“We now have a situation where a type of reverse racism is applied to mainstream Australians by those who promote political correctness and those who control the various taxpayer-funded industries that flourish in our society, servicing Aboriginal multiculturalists and a host of other minority groups. In response to my call for equality for all Australians, the most noisy criticism came from the fat cats, bureaucrats, and the do-gooders. They screamed the loudest because they stand to lose the most: their power, money, and position, all funded by ordinary Australian taxpayers.”\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmbYdLjFMv1WkHmYB2mLtndi2qF1RaCuLc7vdrzNcsH163/pasted_image_1780731572410.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nHoward said the Queensland Liberal Party did not mention Hanson by name.\n\n“One of the great changes that has come over Australia in the last six months is that people feel free to speak a little more openly about what they feel. In a sense, the pall of censorship on certain issues has been lifted. I welcomed the fact that people can now talk about certain issues without living in fear of being branded as a bigot or any of the other expressions that have been carelessly flung around in this country whenever somebody disagrees with what somebody has said.”\n\nYoung people are more progressive and therefore will support the Greens or the Labor Party (ALP). The Chinese have higher levels of support for the Labor Party than for the Coalition. Indians are split between the major parties.\n\nWho are the Teal independents? They are obviously centrist, ranging from centre-left to centre-right. Kate Chaney and Allegra Spender were associated with former Liberal ministers, while Monique Ryan was a member of the Labor Party. Zoe Daniel and Helen Haines, as Teal independents, have progressive policies toward climate change, anti-corruption, and gender equality.\n\nThe Liberal Party has been taken over by the hard right, which is the Sky News After Dark ecosystem. Small believes the Liberals are focused on opposing rather than proposing, to their detriment. He points to the current debate on immigration as an example of the party’s persistent failure to prosecute arguments effectively.\n\nJohn Howard said that the Liberal Party is a broad church between conservatism and liberalism.\n\nBarnes said:\n\n“Fix anything.”\n\nThe former senior adviser to Liberal health ministers Tony Abbott and Michael Wooldridge said:\n\n“We are going to lose the next election. In opposition, we are going to have a cataclysmic and existential fight, and I’m not sure the Liberal Party as we know it will survive. We are at risk of becoming irrelevant.”\n\nIn the by-election in the federal seat of Farrer on Saturday, David Farley, the candidate of the One Nation Party, won 39 per cent of the primary vote. A struggle emerged between Farley and independent Michelle Milthorpe, who got 28 per cent of the vote, while the Liberals came third.\n\nFarley offers himself as an outsider to the uniparty system, drawing on dissatisfaction with the cost of living, fuel prices, higher inflation, the consequences of the hard COVID lockdowns, and Trump’s war against Iran.\n\nJohn Howard squandered the children’s future. The Liberal Party of today is corrupt, short-sighted, and ideologically bankrupt, and it only exists to hold on to power because it is owned by political donors.\n\nMenzies was a conservative. He had an ideology of, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Menzies supported public schools and the independence of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.\n\nAustralia’s religious hard right has infiltrated the Liberal Party. In Australia, there are three major political parties: the Labor Party (centre-left), the Liberal Party (centre-right), and the National Party (right). It is the conservative wing of the Liberal Party that is in coalition.\n\nAngus Taylor is the best-qualified idiot in opposition. He is using the One Nation playbook on immigration policy. Taylor is from a farming background, and he has Jewish descent. While he comes from a conservative, economically dry, free-market faction, the Valder Report raised concerns.\n\nValder said:\n\n“For the very simple reason that we think John Howard has done something very damaging to the Liberal Party over the last ten years. He has just steadily and progressively moved the party further and further to the right, and a lot of us feel he has stolen the Party from us.”\n\nThe Dry faction within the Liberal Party was the free-market lobby, borrowing from Thatcher’s Tories and a radical new philosophy known as neoliberalism.\n\nAndrew Norton said in 2006 that the Howard government was a high-taxing, big-spending state bureaucracy.\n\nMarxism brought in a totalitarian state. Francis Fukuyama’s The End of History was published in 1989. Thatcher believed that human progress was not Tory but Whig.\n\nNeoliberalism at the end of the 1980s was a successor ideology to Marxism. John Howard used costly spending programs to support families and social cohesion. This is inconsistent with shrinking the size of government. The argument that the welfare state increases social cohesion is a standard one on the left.\n\nIn his words and actions, Howard behaved more like a social democrat than a neoliberal.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmfPyP3PAUb6JSju5nPAY1Hb3Q3UXiDyehmgkdLMBWnrs6/pasted_image_1780731629919.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nFrancis Fukuyama, The End of History, The National Interest, No. 16, Summer 1989:\n\n“What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War or the passing of a particular period of postwar history, but the end of history as such. That is, the endpoint of mankind’s ideological evolution and the universalisation of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government.”\n\nThere is a realignment going on in Australian politics. When the Country Party started at the end of the First World War, Australia had a three-party system. By 1923, it had joined in coalition with the Nationalists, creating a two-party system.\n\nAlfred Deakin’s Liberal Protectionists teamed up with Reid’s Free Traders in 1909 to form the Liberal Party to stop the dominance of the Labor Party.\n\nNow the Liberals are squeezed between the Teal independents, the Greens, and One Nation.\n\nReferences\n\n[https://insidestory.org.au/stuck-in-the-middle-2/](https://insidestory.org.au/stuck-in-the-middle-2/)\n\n[https://www.smh.com.au/interactive/hub/media/tearout-excerpt/55158/Liberal-Party-election-review-December\\_3u17epax.pdf](https://www.smh.com.au/interactive/hub/media/tearout-excerpt/55158/Liberal-Party-election-review-December_3u17epax.pdf)\n\n[https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/may/05/gina-rinehart-liberal-party-trump-australia-election-ntwnfb](https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/may/05/gina-rinehart-liberal-party-trump-australia-election-ntwnfb)\n\n[https://www.miragenews.com/one-nation-becoming-another-version-of-liberal-1675167/](https://www.miragenews.com/one-nation-becoming-another-version-of-liberal-1675167/)\n\n[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-23/political-strategist-says-australian-two-party-system-is-gone/106704546](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-23/political-strategist-says-australian-two-party-system-is-gone/106704546)\n\n[https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/liberal-party-history-australia/eb5cinhj5](https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/liberal-party-history-australia/eb5cinhj5)\n\n[https://www.latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/2023/opinion/how-australias-conservative-movement-lost-its-way](https://www.latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/2023/opinion/how-australias-conservative-movement-lost-its-way)\n\n[https://jacobin.com/2025/04/australia-liberal-party-dutton-trump](https://jacobin.com/2025/04/australia-liberal-party-dutton-trump)\n\n[https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/the-contradiction-that-has-split-the-liberal-party-20160707-gq0d93.html](https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/the-contradiction-that-has-split-the-liberal-party-20160707-gq0d93.html)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teal\\_independents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teal_independents)\n\nThis Hive article is based on a longer Opinomail analysis examining the internal divisions, leadership tensions, and political challenges facing Australia's Liberal Party.\n\nIf you enjoy political analysis, political history, and commentary on Australian and international affairs, consider subscribing to Opinomail for future articles and updates.\n\nRead the full article on [https://matthewjlittle.substack.com/p/why-australias-liberal-party-is-struggling](https://matthewjlittle.substack.com/p/why-australias-liberal-party-is-struggling)",

However, it moved up to the highest level of government, as Secretary of State Colin Powell’s chief of staff, Larry Wilkerson, complained. I call them utopians; I don’t care whether utopians are Vladimir Lenin in a sealed train going to Moscow or Paul Wolfowitz utopians. I don’t like it.

For Jews who had left Russia for the United States at the turn of the century, the Communist doctrine was attractive. Writer Maurice Hindus published a book in 1927 called The Jew as Radical. Despite money, Jews welcomed the Soviet Union; the founding fathers of Neoconservatism—Lionel Trilling, Sidney Hook, and Elliot Cohen—did not. They saw the Soviet Union as a degenerated workers’ state and Trotsky as a pariah, but they had sympathy for it. The original neoconservatives’ hostility toward American Communists peaked when a strike was called for February 16, 1934, in New York to protest fascist Austrian Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss’s attack on Viennese communal tenements for workers.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmScfuV9XAcWNQJ1w7jERGmZMV6NYztPNTDoxqL7EWV4HW/pasted_image_1780721175888.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nMadison Square Garden was filled with 18,000 socialist trade union workers who were infiltrated by about 2,000 Communists who marched in formation with banners. The Communists turned on them, which was a feud between the Communists and the socialists. Hitler had come to power. The German Communist Party followed Stalin’s orders not to fight the Nazis, but only the Social Democrats. There was one Marxist, Leon Trotsky, who had forewarned of the European war. Joseph Nevada wrote:\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmNtY36iasdYB5BYmV3Jp6S7VYKnMGCLmjH1DFuCnLyBGs/pasted_image_1780721216806.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\n“\\[Trotsky\\] came to the fore during the latter part of the 1930s. His abhorrence of Nazism appears to have extended beyond a deep-rooted antifascism. He was doubtlessly articulate because of his racial origin; he clearly foresaw the imminent genocide of his coreligionists—Trotsky’s Jewishness.”\n\nJames P. Cannon was the son of Irish immigrants and had strong socialist persuasions; he joined the Socialist Party of America in 1928. Cannon was expelled from the Pro-Stalinist Communist Party USA; therefore, he established the American Trotskyist movement.\n\nNeoconservatism emerged from liberals’ rejection of the Cold War. In a 2004 article, Michael Lind wrote:\n\n“Neoconservatism originated in the 1970s as a movement of anti-Soviet liberals and Social Democrats in the tradition of Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Humphrey, and Henry \\[Scoop\\] Jackson, many of whom prefer to call themselves paleoliberals. \\[After the end of the Cold War\\], many Paleoliberals drifted back to the Democratic Center. Today’s neocons are a shrunken remnant of the original broad neocon coalition. Nevertheless, the origins of their ideology on the left are still apparent. The fact that most of the younger neocons were never on the left is irrelevant; they are intellectual \\[and in the case of William Kristol and Podhoretz, the literal heirs of older ex-leftists\\].”\n\nGeorge W. Bush had little or no experience with foreign policy; he followed his advisers. Bush welcomed Cheney’s views and those of the neoconservatives, who highlighted the importance of multilateralism, because the neocons believed that the U.S. should not consult the United Nations and should act unilaterally. Bush had promised during the 2000 campaign that he would be committed to domestic issues and would pull the U.S. out of multilateral agreements, including the Kyoto Protocol, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, and the International Criminal Court.\n\nBush said:\n\n“Our country must also remain on the offensive against terrorism here at home. They deserve our support and our thanks. They also deserve the same tools they already use to fight drug trafficking and organized crime. So I ask you to reauthorize the Patriot Act.”\n\nBush also said:\n\n“Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America with weapons of mass destruction. Some of these regimes have been pretty quiet since September 11th. But we know their true nature. North Korea is a regime armed with missiles and weapons of mass destruction while starving its citizens. Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror while an unelected few oppress the Iranian people’s hope for freedom.”\n\nIn the 1990s, the neoconservatives were opposed to the foreign policy establishment during both the administrations of George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Many experts accused the neoconservatives of having lost their war with the end of the Soviet Union and George H. W. Bush’s intention not to endorse dissident groups, such as the Kurds and the Shia Muslims, in their 1991 uprisings, which were led by Shia Islamists, Kurdish nationalists, and far-left groups.\n\nA neoconservative report known as the “Clean Break” report was published in 1996 by a study group of American-Jewish neoconservative strategists led by Richard Perle at the request of the newly elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They wanted a more militaristic Middle East policy with the United States in the defense of Israel’s interests. This included the expulsion of Saddam Hussein, keeping limits on Syria by having proxy wars, and no solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that allowed for a Palestinian state.\n\nFormer Nebraska Republican U.S. Senator and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said:\n\n“So, why did we invade Iraq? I believe it was the triumph of the so-called neo-conservative ideology, as well as the Bush administration’s arrogance and incompetence, that took America into this war of choice. They obviously made a convincing case to a President with very limited experience in national security and foreign policy. He keenly felt the burden of leading the nation in the wake of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil.”\n\nSince Bush’s State of the Union speech in January 2002, he named Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as the states that constitute an “axis of evil.” Then, Undersecretary of State John Bolton gave a speech entitled “Beyond the Axis of Evil,” which was about three rogue states: Cuba, Libya, and Syria. In October 2023, Benjamin Netanyahu expounded on the axis of evil, calling out Hamas and Iran in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmfA7wnpoMBbCteGmYWzZFKoqBk3aJapLNq6PE4b42F9b1/pasted_image_1780721290301.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nJohn McCain, who was the Republican candidate for the 2008 Presidential election in the U.S., supported the second Iraq war. There were elements of neoconservatism and pragmatism known as realism. The New York Times reported:\n\n“Advisers are several prominent neoconservatives, including Robert Kagan and Max Boot. ‘It may be too strong a term to say a fight is going on over John McCain’s soul,’ said Lawrence Eagleburger, who is a member of the pragmatist camp. But he said, ‘There is no question that a lot of my far-right friends have decided that, since you can’t beat him, let’s persuade him to slide over as best we can on these critical issues.’”\n\nBarack Obama was campaigning for the Democratic nomination in 2008. Obama attacked contender Hillary Clinton for approving of Bush’s Iraq War policies. However, Obama had a selection of conspicuous military officials from the Bush regime, including Robert Gates, Bush’s Defense Secretary, and David Petraeus, a general under Bush in Iraq. Neoconservative Victoria Nuland, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO under Bush, was made Under Secretary of State by Obama.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmcQntY17TJ5vkiLnamWkYCn1Uyu1UkbW5rSXRXDwStVDg/pasted_image_1780721342925.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nBy 2010, U.S. forces had changed from a combat to a training role in Iraq before they left in 2011. The neocons had little power over Obama’s White House. The neoconservatives lost much of their domination in the Republican Party with the rise of the Tea Party Movement. The Tea Party Movement was a fiscally conservative political movement within the Republican Party that started in 2007.\n\nWithin the Republican establishment, the neoconservative impact continues with their opposition to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (known as the JCPOA or the Iranian nuclear deal) and their opposition to Vladimir Putin in Russia. Carl Gershman, the president of the National Endowment for Democracy and a neocon, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed in September 2013 that Ukraine was the “biggest prize” and was a step towards toppling Putin.\n\nSeveral neoconservatives and foreign policy members who pushed for unilateralism in the “NeverTrump” movement during the 2016 election argued that Donald Trump’s “America First” platform was at odds with conservative values and interventionist foreign policy. These included:\n\nBill Kristol is one of the leaders of NeverTrump.\n\nRick Wilson, a Republican strategist, who is also anti-Trump.\n\nMax Boot, a military historian and critic of Trump.\n\nDavid Frum, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush.\n\nJohn Podhoretz, who argued that Trump would be a disaster.\n\nIn the Biden administration, neocon Victoria Nuland kept a portfolio as Under Secretary of State, and Biden’s top diplomat for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, was a neocon. In the second Trump administration, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz are neocons. There is a neocon shift in Trump’s policy; he has sold out his base.\n\nKagan wrote in the Washington Post:\n\n“The main protagonist on the side of autocracy will not be the petty dictatorships of the Middle East, theoretically targeted by the Bush doctrine. They will be the two great autocratic powers, China and Russia, which pose an old challenge not envisioned within the new war on terror paradigm. Their reactions to the color revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan were hostile and suspicious, and understandably so. Might not the successful liberalization of Ukraine, urged and supported by the Western democracies, be but a prelude to the incorporation of that nation into NATO and the European Union—in short, the expansion of Western liberal hegemony?”\n\nReferences\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis\\_of\\_evil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_evil)\n\n[https://www.americanprogress.org/article/neoconservatism-on-the-decline/](https://www.americanprogress.org/article/neoconservatism-on-the-decline/)\n\n[https://www.hoover.org/sites/default/files/uploads/documents/0817945725\\_105.pdf](https://www.hoover.org/sites/default/files/uploads/documents/0817945725_105.pdf)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency\\_of\\_George\\_W.\\_Bush#Controversies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_George_W._Bush#Controversies)\n\n[https://www.britannica.com/topic/neoconservatism](https://www.britannica.com/topic/neoconservatism)\n\n[https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/28048-document-08-george-w-bush-state-union-address-january-20-2002](https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/28048-document-08-george-w-bush-state-union-address-january-20-2002)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James\\_P.\\_Cannon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_P._Cannon)\n\nThis Hive article is based on a longer Opinomail analysis exploring the origins of neoconservatism, its intellectual roots, and its influence on modern politics and foreign policy.\n\nIf you enjoy political history, ideology, and long-form political analysis, consider subscribing to Opinomail for future articles and updates.\n\nRead the full article on [https://matthewjlittle.substack.com/p/the-origins-of-neoconservatism-and](https://matthewjlittle.substack.com/p/the-origins-of-neoconservatism-and)",

      "body": "John Enoch Powell was born on 16 June 1912 in Stechford, within the city of Birmingham. He was baptised at St Nicholas’s Church in Newport, Shropshire. Powell graduated from Cambridge and stayed on at Trinity College. He was eager to start the war with Germany after Adolf Hitler had come to power in 1933. He told his father in 1934, “I want to be in the army.” In 1937, Powell was appointed Professor of Greek Manuscripts at the University of Sydney at the age of 25.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmYi8mpCTLgJRJpDa3xbyRkDymwS5XZMQQeVPDnByYNKFy/pasted_image_1780720277966.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nIn October 1939, Powell enlisted in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. As a private during the Phoney War, Powell was posted to Cairo in the Kingdom of Egypt. He was promoted to Major, then to Lieutenant Colonel, and played a role in the Second Battle of El Alamein. Powell was appointed a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for his military service.\n\nPowell voted for the Labour Party in the 1945 landslide victory; he wanted to punish the Conservative Party for the Munich Agreement. He later joined the Conservatives and worked for the Conservative Research Department (CRD) under Rob Butler.\n\nPowell gave his speech in Birmingham, warning what he believed would happen if unchecked mass immigration from the Commonwealth to Britain continued. Powell said:\n\n“As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood. That tragic and intractable phenomenon, which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic, but which is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the 20th century. Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain it, I do not know. All I know is that to see and not to speak would be a great betrayal.”\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmRAJptitwuvnLTUzowgWwmKtdPYn7oxDQvryduAvqy67L/pasted_image_1780720366773.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nOn the British Empire, he argued:\n\n“It is of the essence of Toryism to view the British nation as something natural and organic; from such a Britain, the Tory cannot look upon a world merely divided into two—democratic or Communist, free or not free, Western or Eastern. He sees instead a wide scene peopled with various individual nations, each obeying the laws of their being. Nations, to him, like national sovereignties, so far from being artificial barriers, are the inevitable framework within which mankind lives and associates.”\n\nWhat Powell said about the alignment between the Soviets, the Warsaw Pact, and North America:\n\n“We may start from the assumption that the antithesis between the USA and USSR is fundamental—as polar neighbours, as technological competitors on the highest plane, and as mutually incomprehending ideologies. If Western Europe and China are both to be placed in the American pan of the balance, it must follow that between America and Europe in the Western hemisphere will be called into existence by sheer necessity.\n\nThe result of following this reasoning through is to produce a picture which is historically familiar in the West and more novel in the East. Historically, the existence of Russia has been the ultimate guarantee of the survival of Britain as an independent nation—in 1812, in 1914, in 1942. Russia has always been, for Britain, the greatest power beyond her continental enemy, the only nation possessing the inexhaustible resources of manpower and reserves of space which render her superior to any land army in its ability to survive.\n\nThe fundamental fact of geopolitics has nothing to do with political or any other kind of affinity. In the last decades of the twentieth century, necessity restored an understanding between Britain and Russia. The entente will not be cordiale, but entente it will still be. But what of the Eastern aspect? The rise of China adumbrates for Japan a relationship with Asiatic Russia not radically different from that of Britain with European Russia.”\n\nPowell on the New World Order: Powell saw changes coming in the balance of power. He believed the United States would no longer be the protector of Western and Southern Europe and spoke about the decline of the American Empire by 1989. Powell’s stance toward Russia was becoming more favourable; he argued that Britain’s oceanic position, together with Russia’s Asiatic position, meant they would be supportive in the construction of Europe and the Middle East.\n\nPowell said:\n\n“As a fighting party in opposition, we must concentrate on areas of politics which are live, which are automatically news, and where the antithesis between ourselves and our opponents is at its maximum. If we do that, we shall find that a very simple and plain theme runs through it all. The secret of political success is to present a single, simple, coherent theme that everyone can interpret in their own terms. That was the secret of the rise of Socialism—state control was given as the answer to everything. We can present the same simplicity and consistency.”\n\nPowell argued that immigration was making it difficult to be productive:\n\n“It is a mistake to think that because immigrants are willing to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, they are increasing productivity by setting other workers free to do more productive tasks. The actual effect is probably that some mechanisation, reorganisation, and capital investment which would otherwise take place does not happen, and consequently our productivity all round is lower than it would have been. Britain is not an underdeveloped colonial country with untapped natural resources waiting to be exploited by immigration, nor is it an economy like that of Switzerland with a superabundance of capital and cheap power that can be turned to advantage with a selected and imported workforce.”\n\nPowell said:\n\n“A week or two ago, I fell into conversation with a constituent, a middle-aged, quite ordinary working man employed in one of our nationalised industries. After a sentence or two about the weather, he suddenly said, ‘If I had the money to go, I wouldn’t stay in this country.’ I made some deprecatory reply to the effect that even this government wouldn’t last forever, but he took no notice and continued: ‘I have three children, all of whom have been through grammar school, and two of them are married now with families. I shan’t be satisfied till I have seen them all settled overseas. In this country, in fifteen or twenty years’ time, the black man will have the whip hand over the white man.’”\n\nEnoch Powell was presenting neo-liberal ideas in British politics and worked closely with the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA). His approach to international relations viewed Britain as a maritime power with interests in the European continent. He believed that every country pursues its own interests.\n\nPowell’s analysis was a reason not to get involved in Rhodesia in the 1960s or Yugoslavia in the 1990s, due to his doubts about the United Nations. Powell was a historian and a policy analyst. He argued that the immigrant population would reach 5.7 million, which is one-tenth of the whole population, by 2001.\n\nIn England, the non-white and mixed-race group consists of 9.1 per cent of the population of Great Britain, compared to 8.1 per cent (4.63 million of 57.1 million). Powell’s forecast of racial violence did not occur. I do not think Powell was a racist; he wanted a clear definition of UK citizenship.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmSeiTbPkMNAgQigcFidjvzDQhhXtzMYFveSCSAPw868kW/pasted_image_1780720428115.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nPowell said:\n\n“I was waiting for a book to be written. He \\[Wiener\\] proves beyond peradventure that, at any rate since the middle of the nineteenth century, the British have not really put economic achievement at the head, or anywhere near the head, of their national or social values. Throughout the political spectrum, the British have been dubious or downright condemnatory of the consequences of the industrial revolution and the capitalist market system. Their ideal Britain has not been the workshop of the world; their values have been aristocratic, professional, and above all, rural.”\n\nPowell supported the idea of a nation that is English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish. He was dedicated to the cause of neo-liberalism.\n\nReferences\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers\\_of\\_Blood\\_speech](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_of_Blood_speech)\n\n[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Enoch-Powell](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Enoch-Powell)\n\n[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/14/enoch-powell-rivers-blood-legacy-wolverhampton](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/14/enoch-powell-rivers-blood-legacy-wolverhampton)\n\n[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Enoch-Powell](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Enoch-Powell)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch\\_Powell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Powell)\n\nThis article is based on a longer Opinomail analysis of Enoch Powell, his political career, and the lasting debate surrounding the \"Rivers of Blood\" speech.\n\nRead the full article on [https://matthewjlittle.substack.com/p/enoch-powell-scholar-politician-and](https://matthewjlittle.substack.com/p/enoch-powell-scholar-politician-and)\n\nIf you're interested in political history, ideology, and long-form political analysis, consider subscribing to Opinomail for future articles and updates.",

      "body": "Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, into a wealthy New York family. Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in economics. He attended the private Kew-Forest School, and then his father enrolled him in the New York Military Academy. He enrolled at Fordham University in 1964, where he became involved in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) during his first year. He later transferred to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, frequently returning to his father’s office on the weekends. He sought a career in real estate. Trump was excused from the draft during the Vietnam War because he claimed he had bone spurs in his heels.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmR2P72MJ9fdpyGJFdm9fshkFaSmWyW6w4Xc3MpmTcZdCp/pasted_image_1780718999371.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nTrump is a real estate developer and celebrity who has given money to both parties to gain favor and access to the political elite. New York City is a Democratic jurisdiction, and he was once more in line with the Democrats there. In 2004, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer interviewed Trump. During the interview, Trump stated:\n\n“In many cases, I probably identify more as a Democrat,” explaining that “it just seems the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean, it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats. But certainly, we had some very good economies under both Democrats and Republicans. But we’ve had some pretty bad disasters under the Republicans.”\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmPK77MV51tknNRWy27WkuHhTmUJCLAK8yBhMPVDHcBYxC/pasted_image_1780719059213.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nTrump said that he has a broad range of political positions and that he identifies with some things as a Democrat.\n\nThe Shift to the Reform Party  \nTrump later changed his party affiliation to the Reform Party. Donald Trump joined the race by giving television interviews and planning his platform. At the time, Trump was progressive on social issues. Trump criticized Pat Buchanan, saying, “I’m on the conservative side, but Buchanan is Attila the Hun.” He eventually disengaged from the race, as did Jesse Ventura and the Minnesota Reform Party. Trump stated, “So the Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke; a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan; and a Communist, Ms. Fulani. This is not a company I wish to keep.”\n\nBuchanan decided to leave the Republican Party because “the Republican Party at the national level has ceased to be my party.” This divorce began around the end of the Cold War when President George H.W. Bush declared it a “New World Order” party and began intervening all over the world. Having had allies and friends during the Cold War, Buchanan felt that once the conflict was over, the United States should return to a more traditional, non-interventionist foreign policy.\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmfXJHJUYGb7NAcg46gaiP5LqxwrWdpjqgMXDBzw2GqAPi/pasted_image_1780719124593.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nPatrick Joseph Buchanan was born in Washington, D.C., on November 2, 1938. He noted:\n\n“I have family roots in the South, in Mississippi. When the Civil War began, Cyrus Baldwin enlisted and did not survive the Battle of Vicksburg. William Buchanan of Okolona, who would marry Baldwin’s daughter, fought at Atlanta and was captured by General Sherman. Baldwin Buchanan was the name given to my father and by him to my late brother. As a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, I have been to their gatherings. I spoke at the 2001 SCV convention in Lafayette, LA. The Military Order of the Stars and Bars presented me with a battle flag and a wooden canteen like the ones my ancestors carried.”\n\nThe Rise of Trumpism  \nDuring his presidential campaign, Trump defined the United States as a nation in dire peril, plagued by lawlessness, poverty, and violence—constantly under threat and at risk of having nothing left. Upon accepting the Republican nomination for President, he said, “I alone can fix the system,” and promised he would get elected. He declared, “Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.” He presented himself as a “law and order” candidate and the “voice of the forgotten man and woman.”\n\nYale sociologist Philip Gorski said of Trumpism:\n\n“The election of Donald Trump constitutes perhaps the greatest threat to American democracy since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. There is a real and growing danger that representative government will be slowly but effectively supplanted by a populist form of authoritarian rule in the years to come. Media intimidation, mass propaganda, voter suppression, court-packing, and even armed paramilitaries—many of the necessities for an authoritarian devolution are gradually falling into place.”\n\nPolitical scientist Karen Stenner and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt observed:\n\n“The far-right populist wave did not, in fact, come out of nowhere. It is not a sudden madness or virus or tide or even just a copycat phenomenon—the emboldening of bigots and despots by others’ electoral successes. Rather, it is something that sits just beneath the surface of any human society, including in the advanced liberal democracies at the heart of the Western world, and can be activated by core elements of liberal democracy itself.”\n\nThey noted it can be far-right or far-left, arguing that both are the same at the heart of the democratic system.\n\nDonald Trump has support among white evangelical Christians who do not attend church regularly, yet he maintains an agenda of Christian nationalism. This echoes historical figures like Charles Edward Coughlin, who was born on October 25, 1891, to working-class Irish Catholic parents. Ordained to the priesthood in 1916, Father Coughlin initially supported Roosevelt’s New Deal but later fell out with him, accusing him of being too friendly with bankers in 1934. In 1939, Coughlin was praised by the Regime Fascista, an Italian newspaper aligned with Fascist Italy, for the book The Fine Art of Propaganda.\n\nTrumpism is fueled by emotion and righteous anger—the feeling that the government is “screwing us over” based on an American Dream that many feel turned out to be unreal. A demagogue (from the Ancient Greek demagogos, meaning “mob leader” or “rabble-rouser”) is a political leader in a democracy who obtains power by seeking scapegoats and attracting a base through emotion and prejudice by arousing racial, religious, and class tensions. The most famous demagogue was Adolf Hitler. While Hitler was in prison, the Nazi Party’s vote fell to one million, and it continued to drop after his release in 1924 as he began rejuvenating the party. For several years, Hitler and the Nazi Party were generally regarded as a laughingstock in Germany, no longer taken seriously as a threat. The Prime Minister of Bavaria lifted the region’s ban on the party, saying, “The wild beast is checked. we can afford to loosen the chain.”\n\nForeign Policy and the “Warrior Creed”  \nCharlie Kirk stated:\n\n“In contrast to the warrior creeds of some ancient cultures, Augustine, like Thomas Aquinas after him, recognized that the goal of all moral military action should be peace. He did not want to arm the world, looking for territory to seize or subtle social problems to rectify with clumsy weapons. Compare that deeply moral impulse to the worldviews displayed in recent decades by the leaders of either the Democratic Party or, before Trump, the Republican Party.”\n\nKirk argued that Trump worked to avoid the flare-up of total war with Iran. In contrast, Mitt Romney—regarded by many “Never Trump” establishment Republicans as a voice of moderation—vowed in the early stages of his 2012 campaign to take military action against Iran to stop its nuclear program if elected. Kirk claimed a vote for Romney was, in effect, a vote for war.\n\nHe further argued that Democrats like Hillary Clinton offer no real alternative, noting her support for the Iraq War, the Afghan troop surge, and the toppling of Gaddafi’s regime in Libya. Kirk noted that while most agree Gaddafi was a tyrant, the intervention led to years of ongoing civil war. He claimed that Obama and Clinton are in no position to lecture on statesmanship, specifically citing Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize following the bombing of Libya. Kirk concluded that there is little difference between the neoconservative views of Romney-style Republicans and the neoliberal views of Clinton-style Democrats. Both follow the footsteps of Woodrow Wilson, viewing the U.S. as a remaker of the world—a giant that can bend nations to its will.\n\nKirk also criticized Rousseau as a forebear of today’s leftists, arguing that Rousseau longed to correct society’s inequities by remolding young minds to conform to the “General Will,” eventually resembling a phalanx of ancient Spartan soldiers. Kirk called this a nightmare by Trump-era conservative standards.\n\nThe Divide and the Future  \nThere is a stark divide between Democrats and Republicans. According to the New York Times, Trump won the working-class, white, non-college-educated voters. Conservative David Brooks observed:\n\n“These rural places are often 95 percent white. Are these counties marked by high social cohesion, economic dynamism, soaring wages, and healthy family values? No. Quite the opposite; they are often marked by economic stagnation, social isolation, family breakdown, and high opioid addiction. It is a blunt fact of life that these days, immigrants show more of these virtues than the native-born.”\n\nPat Buchanan predicted a civil war would break out inside the Republican Party along the old trench lines of the Goldwater-Rockefeller wars of the 1960s—a war for the “heart and soul and future of the party.”\n\nAs a candidate, Trump criticized both Bush’s Republicans and Obama’s Democrats for costly wars. He ran against the Washington bipartisan foreign policy establishment. In February 2016, Trump complained, “We don’t win wars anymore... You have got to win, and number one, we don’t win wars; we fight, we just fight. It’s like a big... like you’re vomiting—just fight, fight, fight.”\n\n<img src=\"https://i.ecency.com/DQmPXHjCRnb9QBaMMSCehZZg5oxrF1mMrXViisaWhQi7BgN/pasted_image_1780719189563.png\" alt=\"\" />\n\nAs a conservative populist, Trump became more of a neo-isolationist, similar to Pat Buchanan during his 1992 run. In an age of open borders, a rising China, and record national debt, Trump Republicans still support him at around 78%. However, his approval rating has dipped by 34% since the U.S. and Israel started the war with Iran, which is being called “Trump’s war.” Independent voters are moving toward the Democrats for the midterms. Americans are pessimistic about the economy and blame President Trump. People are cutting back on entertainment and spending less on dining out and movies due to the conflict. Meanwhile, 70% of MAGA Republicans still believe Trump’s policies are helping the economy.\n\nReferences\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat\\_Buchanan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Buchanan)\n\n[https://abcnews.com/Politics/americans-unhappy-economy-reeling-high-prices-polls/story?id=132361707](https://abcnews.com/Politics/americans-unhappy-economy-reeling-high-prices-polls/story?id=132361707)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue)\n\n[https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/23/trump-economy-2026-election-republicans-democrats.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/23/trump-economy-2026-election-republicans-democrats.html)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political\\_positions\\_of\\_Donald\\_Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Donald_Trump)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make\\_America\\_Great\\_Again](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_America_Great_Again)\n\n[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpism)\n\n[https://monthlyreview.org/articles/the-maga-ideology-and-the-trump-regime/](https://monthlyreview.org/articles/the-maga-ideology-and-the-trump-regime/)\n\n[https://openlettersreview.com/posts/the-maga-doctrine-by-charlie-kirk](https://openlettersreview.com/posts/the-maga-doctrine-by-charlie-kirk)\n\n[https://theconversation.com/what-maga-means-to-americans-259241](https://theconversation.com/what-maga-means-to-americans-259241)\n\n[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Donald-Trump/Foreign-relations](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Donald-Trump/Foreign-relations) \\\\\n\nIf you're interested in politics, ideology, and political movements, you can subscribe to Opinomail for future articles.
