On this edition of Parallax Views, conservative libertarian Jack Hunter offers his commentary on Thomas Massie's primary loss and we delve into the cracks in the MAGA movement from his perspective. We'll discuss the generational difference in people who voted for Massie, the role of AIPAC and the broader pro-Israel lobby in the primary, separating antisemitism from criticism of Israel, and more. We'll also delve into how neocons have long tried to define conservatism as inherently interventionist, depsite the history of conservative figures dating back to Robert Taft that believed small government was not just restricted to domestic policy, but foreign policy as well. Jack will also give his views on the abuse of the term "domestic terrorist" in a way that'll rankle both the left and the right as he believes American citizens involved with both BLM and J6 shouldn't be targeted under domestic terrorist lines but rather on existing laws that don't invoke federal terrorism enhancement. Finally, we talk a bit about our great love of pro wrestling and how politics is often kayfabe. You may not agree with either of us on a number of issues, but you'll hopefully find it a fascinating conversation!
