For decades the Democrat Party has run a successful marketing campaign to convince young Americans that being a Democrat is “cool” and being a Republican or conservative is not. But even as conservatives reject the Democrat Party, too many have subconsciously accepted their premise. Our habitual defensive posture and hesitation to speak out boldly is evidence of our acceptance of this false narrative. The “silent majority” is tantamount to an “ashamed majority.”
The Democrat Party cultivates and exhorts the worst traits of mankind, chief among them the “victim” mentality. The victim, of course, rejects personal responsibility, seeks to escape accountability by blaming another, and embraces government dependency. The Democrat believes it is another’s duty to care for them and provide for them. It is an admission by the Democrats that they are weak, irresponsible, and incapable of providing for themselves or their family. Being a victim isn’t “cool.”
