Are republicans not neoliberals?
Neoliberalism means supposedly socially liberal while economically for muh "free market" capitalism.
This is almost all modern Democrats. Republicans are both for muh "free market" capitalism and going back to no same sex marriage, no gender equality, jim crow preferential treatment for whites, etc. Neoliberals don't care if 2 homeless dudes want to get married and live in the same cardboard box in the gutter, which makes them better than the Republicans... a little.
I say "Republicans and Neoliberals" because within the Democrats in power, there are a tiny minority that actually seem to care and propose policies that would help fight inequity, like Sanders and AOC, but they are hated by their own party more than their own party hates the fascists accross the aisle.
Well the important part is that you feel superior to both
Not a high bar.
