It comes down to indoctrination. Seriously. I grew up in an inner city, low income ares. We were all taught by family, friends family, the schools, everyone, that the Democratic party is the party for the people. And then the same go off to college, there it is again. Look on Facebook, CNN, Twitter, MSNBC, Holywood, etc. The same narrative. If you care about people you vote democrat. It truly requires someone who's willing to do their own research, have some real world experience, or be raised a certain way to see the conservative side of things. I was a bleeding heart liberal up until I got away from schools. Military opened my eyes because I seen the rest of the world, and some of the darkest places. I voted for Obama in 08 and realized everything I believed, failed. And then, I educated myself. But it takes a lot to do that, and why would you especially today when doing so makes you a racist, sexist, biggot.

Indoctrination of through the education system and the mainstream media echo chamber.

The Democrats operate with arguments based on emotion, "feel good" stuff that makes anyone that disagrees with their position look like a monster.

Once you look like a monster, your argument is void.

It's all the free stuff for lazy people!

There are many folks who have no critical thinking skills. They watch CNN or MSNBC and simply believe what they are told. They don't question anything.

I am not really sure they are popular. They are loud, though.

It's like coyotes. When you hear them yipping near your house at night, it sounds like there are dozens of them, but there are probably only five or six.

The mainstream media sources assist in keeping the citizens distracted from just how pathetic the Democrat Party has become...
