Spot on! Look at any of the recent Democrat campaigns and you see fear and victimhood. Their campaigns are designed to scare people into voting Democrat. "If the Republicans win, such and such will happen to you". It is never about hope with a vision to the future and how the Democrats can help to create that future. The Party creates victim groups, women, gays, blacks, other minorities, the elderly and even subgroups within those, and then tailors its message of fear to that group.
"Casey Sheehan's sacrifice for his country doesn't oblige the rest of us to suffer, in silence, his mother's ranting"
Nails it.
