Democrats Desperately Want To Create More Dependent Americans
America survives as a healthy, wealthy nation only if the majority of the population is willing to stand on its own two feet.

ong before we Americans pick a side politically, we adopt a rhetorical stance that matches our worldview. That stance becomes the filter through which we interpret everything we see and hear, shaping our preferences and our politics.
Broadly speaking, Americans fall into three groups:
A. Dependents—those who believe in the primacy of the collective, where individualism is subordinated to the needs of the group. Their worldview echoes the “it takes a village” mentality.
B. Individualists—those who believe that responsibility begins and ends with oneself, and that we are meant to become the best version of who we are through our own decisions, actions, and consequences.
C. Amoral Pragmatists—those who choose the path of least resistance. They are situational, opportunistic, and guided more by emotion and convenience than by principle or ethics.
These three groups are roughly equal in size. Dependents form the backbone of today’s progressives. Individualists form the core of today’s conservatives. And the third group—the amoral pragmatists—constitutes the modern swing vote. They are highly persuadable, driven by emotional security, and often vote with their pocketbooks. During times of societal stress, this group becomes especially volatile, prioritizing safety and comfort over principle. High gas prices, war, and economic anxiety can swing them dramatically, and as a result, they frequently determine election outcomes.
