Thanks for this thoughtful piece. This is similar to the argument that I make in my book, The Ideology of Democratism. I devote an entire chapter to Thomas Jefferson, whom I argue is an exponent of this kind of dangerous, revolutionary thinking (I quote that very letter to William Short) that has brought America to the point of constitutional crisis that it is at now.

Thanks for the kind words.Your book looks quite interesting, will likely give it a read at some point when I have the opportunity. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I find the thesis compelling.

So are you neocon adjacent? Your tortured reasoning is so insipid as it appears to have been written by a freshman in college trying to impress their TA.

Cherry picking from Hamilton and Jefferson (one letter!! 😳🙄😂) to argue that neoconservatism is as old as the Republic is an abject lie and an insult to the sociopaths who brought their poison to these shores. Further, relying on any of the Kagans’, proven serial liars, to make any point reveals a complete lack of common sense and critical thinking.

BTW, where are the Iraqi WMD?
