Those are the questions they should be asking themselves and that we should be asking them.
Over the weekend, I had a discussion with "a democrat". It started when I went on a short rant after a news story about politics. She insisted she was a democrat because "that's how she grew up." But she votes "split ticket" and doesn't always vote for the democrat. I asked her, "what policy or agenda or idea do you support that the democratic party stands for?" She wanted to end the conversation there.
She is against abortion. She is against the NFL kneeling. She is against BLM. She doesn't understand taxes. But she identifies as a democrat.
It occurs to me, this is likely pretty common in this country. At least for Millennials I think it is in vogue to have political opinions and practice activism. It shows you are important and want to make a difference. Besides, all your friends are doing it and it's what celebrities do. But they exist in a micro-culture of abject ignorance. They have no idea what they support. They don't even understand the basic tenants of our founding as a nation or the documents establish our nation.
Well, if you’re expecting the (R)NC to, some how some day, gain the ability to ‘enlighten’ such people, I’m afraid you’ll have to go it alone.
The (R)NC can’t keep to the same page (IE: ‘small govt’ and Constitution) while voting for blank checks\PP\NEA\TARP\NCLB\DHS\etc.
At least the (D) have ONE message that they stick to: sticking it to the People and ruling as overlords. But, they are consistent and have more in their camp that the rest!
