In order to be successful, Democrats must cobble together a group of various voting blocks. They accomplish this using a destructive strategy of dividing and demonizing. They scare their blocks into voting for the Democratic candidate by slandering and lying about their Republican rivals. Think about it: All you ever hear from the national Democrats is division - white vs. blacks, rich vs. poor, the 1%, the war on women, pro-life vs. pro-abortion, Christians vs. secular world, The Alt Right, proponents of gay marriage vs. believers in real marriage, old vs. young, transgenders vs. straight, illegal immigrants vs. citizens, Obamacare, welfare, etc, etc. All the while they demonize anyone who does not agree with them - basket of deplorables (racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic).
Meanwhile the Republican caucus is comprised of fewer, less-than-loyal voting blocks. Consider conservative talk radio hosts who run the gamut from all-Trump-everyday supporter to the Never Trumpers. Consider the Christian voting block, which in theory, leans Republican. Millions of them did not vote for Romney because he was a Mormon. Then you have the Libertarians who again lean toward the GOP socially but cannot stomach their lust for military intervention throughout the world. So they either stay home on election day, hold their nose and vote for the Republican, or they pull the lever for the Libertarian candidate.
As Rush Limbaugh has famously said for years, “being a liberal is easy.” He posits that it does not require any critical thinking to be a liberal and vote for every Democrat on the ballot. You can simply latch on to any of the stereotypes and/or emotional arguments fed to you by the Left and the media and safely remain strong-fisted in your opposition to those dastardly Republicans.
I recently published a blog post called “Donald Trump Scares Me” that exemplifies this perfectly. While Hillary Clinton is resoundingly disliked, thought to be dishonest and untrustworthy, millions will still vote for her because Donald Trump has been cast as this ogre who hates women; he is mean, scary, unpredictable, and unlikable.
While the Democrats continue their divide-and-demonize strategy, as they push to replace their disenchanted and declining voter base with amnestied illegal immigrants, the Republican Party will continue its dead man walk into irrelevancy.
