It is worth nothing that while identity politics is the new foundation of the Democrat Party, so is the cancerous victim mentality. Directly and indirectly, Democrats assert that various groups are victims and then subsidize this so called victimhood with big government programs like welfare, section 8 housing, and EBT.
Believe it or not, Democrats do this for one simple reason: to remain in power. The truly smart Democrats know that people of any color can get up, work, and make something of themselves if they genuinely wanted to; but Democrats aspire to halt any real progress for the groups of people they have classified as victims. You see, as long as Democrats can brainwash certain groups into believing they are helpless, their party can continue to give handouts, and come election season, win votes from their recipients.
In the modern world, Democrats are the true oppressors. Their employed weapons are identity politics and victimhood. Once people subscribe to the notion that they are helpless, they innately look for a savior. Democrats step in and provide all the government programs funded by people who actually work; they spew their rehearsed nonsense, win the votes, and repeat this process. Any clear headed observer can see this. It is a game that starts in the head, and sadly, Democrats have mastered this art. The only way to end the vicious cycle is for people to wake up and realize that they are responsible for their successes and failures.
