Bouvard on GOP Purge and Neoconservative Factionalism

The only goal of the Vancers is purging the GOP of "neocons," "Israel Firsters," etc. They don't care about Iran, "affordability," "postliberalism," or winning elections--losing might equally help with the purge. It's a putsch within the party. This makes sense of all they do.

@slooperbia50068 It's an angry time.

@slooperbia50068 By the way, I've reposted this but the way this site seems to work I don't know for sure if you've seen it. It's paywalled, but I'll email you the essay.

@slooperbia50068 I don't know but I don't say that's the only goal, for anyone.
