The Real Democratic Mindset

Does anyone know?

The Real Democratic Mindset

The million dollar question is, “why?”

As a right-wing supporter, a strong-minded individual and an American citizen, there are certain morals, beliefs and values for which I stand by without hesitation. However, I love hearing opposing beliefs. My extremely open mind is always searching for those who think differently. It intrigues me to know why others think the way that they do. Understanding both sides of an issue allows us, as individuals, to think from different perspectives. Perhaps we could learn something and sometimes it can even cause us to change our mind. Imagine that. Having an open mind and being susceptible to other's opinions is a beautiful thing. More people should practice this concept.

If you are a left-wing individual, I’m thrilled to be able to pick your brain apart. I am also desperately hoping to find good reasoning for your opinions. All I ever want to know is “why” when it comes to politics. If you notice, Democrats never have the answer.

They will protest you to the end, but you'll never know why. They themselves don't know why.

As a Republican, here are some of our basic, core values:

We fight for small business.

We do not support a large government.

We stand firmly by the second amendment.

We expect to be given the rights that are stated for us in the Bill of Rights.

We do not agree with Obamacare.

We believe in a strong military.

We firmly believe that no one should live in this country without being a naturalized, legal citizen.

We do not believe in free handouts for those who are taking advantage of us.

And the list goes on…

Now, what do Democrats believe in? I wholeheartedly wish I knew. There are only a few concepts that I can come up with. Here it goes...

They do not believe in war (even when necessary).

They stand vigorously for gay rights.

They believe everyone should be equal, in every sense of the word.

They do not believe in the second amendment.

Have you ever noticed how Liberals spend most of their time opposing our conservative beliefs, instead of standing up for their own? This leads me to believe that they have no beliefs of their own. Ask someone why they’re voting for Hillary Clinton and they'll say to keep Donald Trump out of office.

Over time, I have not learned a thing about Democrats. I do not understand the platform for which they stand. As a Conservative, they leave us confused and angry. We try to understand why they think the way that they do, but they give us nothing to work with. They spend all of their time protesting us, and all we’re trying to do is Make America Great Again.
