Union Fear

Why Democrats fear the Union:

Common national identity and purpose forestall Democrats’ Marxist impulse to cultivate grievance and conflict. That’s why, in recent decades, they have explicitly rejected any virtuous connotation of America’s historic “melting pot” and embraced pluralistic societies living inside and among each other. What they champion as “multiculturalism” and “diversity” is really a malicious compulsion to turn constituent groups against one another. Perceived victimhood cannot flourish in societies that value national unity. Victimhood requires a steady supply of unfounded outrage and fake oppression. This unhealthy addiction is the source of preposterous Democrat claims that racial minorities in the United States are today treated worse than antebellum slaves. Why is the Democrat party so hostile to President Trump and his “Make America Great Again” agenda? The simplest answer is right there in his famous political slogan. He is interested in lifting all of America — and not just some constituent part of it.
