The short answer, I think, is no. The first “neoconservatives” were in some ways the product of the Cold War. Anti communism can no longer serve as a common ground for this sort of ideological project.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1281218127502684160 …
I think that's right. Crucially, while we are seeing the return of geopolitical rivals, the left is as wary - if not more so - of their ideology than the right. Just looking at the rhetoric of both parties now, there's no reason Russia or China hawks need to be in the GOP.

Russia/China is a preoccupation of elite foreign policy circles. It’s not that it isn’t important, but the greater ME, Afghanistan, and the continued consequences of those ongoing conflicts aren’t going away politically, and they scramble ideological distinctions in the US.

The original Neoconservatives weren’t just concerned with foreign policy, at least not when you go back into the intellectual history of guys like Irvin Kristol, who basically converted away from the left. I think that’s probably what Douthat is referring to
