It was not that horrible... Bill Kristol is a reasonable person. So was Irving Cristol.
but I think it won't come back before the new Idealist generation. When they will rebel against millennials, nothing will annoy a dad born in the 1990s than his daughter declaring herself a neocon.

The prophets of 2050 will almost certainly look down on the right-wing populist movements favoured by millennials, on the sort of politics that gave the world Trump, Brexit and the current Polish government. But they will also despise authoritarian progressivism favoured by the SJWs. If this really happens, we can see a revival of an authentic liberal movement. If Western democracy survives, indignation at tyrannical governments in the Third World could bring neoconservatism back to life.
I am predicting that the 2020's will an emergence of an "alt-left" which will be social democratic or socialist, advocating green politics and alter-globalization. The second global economic crisis will bring an economic downturn so bad that the right-wing populists are going to lose a lot of their appeal.
I follow European politics and in Western Europe Millennial's will strongly support "alt-left" parties and their leaders. For example; the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn is polling like 60-70% among Millennials!, not to mention they voted 75% for Remain in the Brexit referendum!. Indeed the Millennial's will get their revenge by forcing through activism a popular vote on the nature of Brexit. Right now in Britain there is a massive campaign for a 'people's vote' driven no doubt by the Millennial's who are angry that older generations voted for Brexit, while they voted for Remain. British Millennial's especially those on the left do have a bit of an authoritarian streak which is a little worrying and are comfortable with Jeremy Corbyn's authoritarianism.
This is not limited to Britain either, in the French Presidential Election in 2017, the far-left candidate jean Luc-Melenchon won 30% of the Millennial vote (as opposed to just under 20% of the voters as a whole). Marnie Le-Pen polled no better among Millennial's than she did among the voters as a whole.
