Abbreviation of the word “neoconservative”.
Neoconservatism is a political ideology and movement born from liberal hawks in the United States who became disenchanted with the increasingly pacifist foreign policy of the Democratic Party, the growth of movements such as the Counterculture Of The 1960s, the New Left and the Vietnam Protests. Some even began questioning their liberal beliefs on domestic policy such as the Great Society. They are known for their advocacy of an aggressive interventionist foreign policy and a vigorous support for free-market capitalism, similar to the closely related neoliberals who rose around the same time.
The term should mainly be contrasted with the word “Paleocon”.

In the examples about Neocons in this article I don't see Democrats, as the term Neocon applies to them as well. The hate for Russia in the USA is nothing which started in the early 1960s as the article points out and as well as other articles I have read. The hate for Russia has been in the minds of the US politicians and ordinary people since before the 1917 Russian revolution to debunk the Czars which as in any Anarchy or totalitarian government were abusing the serves or ordinary people. People have forgotten the hate for Russia and communism that took place in the US in the early 1930s culminating in the prosecution of people in the US, whom had communist ideas or Russia’s sympathizers and so the "Hollywood Black List" became into existence which John Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation 1924-1972, originated. Neocons have always existed in the US regardless if in government or/and ordinary people.
Most neocons argue that the current crisis in Iraq is all Obama's fault for pulling US troops out of the country.

Neo-Conservatism, even though it isn't conservative. They claim to be for a small government, but they don't. They, representing the Republican, and Neo-Liberalism (or Neolib), representing the Democrats, are the globalist duo of modern American politics before the rise of Donald Trump, who was a Right-wing Populist
Fun fact: The father of Neo-Conservatism was a Trotskyist who turned to capitalism and liberal democracy when he realized that the Communist dream of a World Revolution is impossible
