It used to be Republicans who accused Democrats of playing the "victim card", but now, it's Republicans who constantly vent about being victims of the media, society, culture, political correctness - and some even carp about being treated unfairly on this forum.

Rather than blaming everyone else for their frustrations, I think they need to start accepting some personal responsibility for their failures. If one of their ideas or philosophies isn't popular, it isn't because of political correctness, the media, or bias. It's because most Americans simply don't agree with them.

I think its because it is easier than taking responsibility for their numerous failures and shortcomings.

It's also something pre-teen children do.

Maybe they want a share of the victim freebies that Democrats have been hoarding all these years.

Do you not think that many Democrats also act like victims?

Do you think that all Republicans act like victims?

You do realize that there are some ideas and philosophies that the Democratic Party has that the majority of Americans do not agree with, right?

Isn't that a prerequisite for being a Democrat? If you're not a minority, a union member or 100% reliant on the government can you even become a Democrat these days?

Why do so many ignorant Democrats buy into the belief that the crap their party is spewing is any better?

If you buy into the nonsense professed by either mainstream party you are little more than a sheep that is anxious to make it's way to the front of the line for it's much overdue shearing.

It's one way of getting what you want. Tantrums aren't bad either.

No one complains about media bias like Republicans, and no one complains about political correctness like Republicans. They've captured the market on those two things.

Nope. That's why I say "so many Republicans". I know that many don't complain, but many do, and it's not the Republicanism that I grew up with. There's a much more immature and bratty state of mind than there used to be.

I see the same immaturity and "brattiness" from Democrats. Democrats like to accuse Republicans of being heartless. They LOVE to accuse Republicans of being uneducated and suggest that they know everything and Republicans are stupid.

Keep in mind that there are many ideas the Democratic Party has that the majority of Americans do not agree with.

The comments above are the political equivalent of, "But Mom, he did it first!"
