During
the late 1900s, Democrats
ceded the
high ground amongst religious voters
to the
Republican Party.
However, that has been steadily
changing
since the start of the 21st
century as Democrats emerged as the party championing healthcare for
all Americans, protecting Social Security and Medicare, equal rights
for women, equal rights for gays, fair pay for the middle class, a
living wage for the poor working class, finding a solution to the
immigrant issue, addressing climate change and responsible
stewardship of our planet, and so much more.
Meanwhile,
Republicans have been trying to kill the Affordable Healthcare Act,
cut Medicare, privatize or do away with Social Security, are
aggressively fighting against gay rights, women's rights, want to
wall off Mexico
and Canada
from the US, deport hispanic immigrants, keep wages low, reduce taxes
on major corporations, keep drilling and using dirty fossil fuels,
attack alternative energy solutions, continue
to ignore
climate change, want to get us
more
involved in wars across the Middle East, have
told the
Pope to keep quiet about the environment and world affairs, have
failed to reign in spending despite controlling both
houses of Congress, attacking the free press,
... The contrast between the two parties is really amazing.
It
is slowly dawning on many voters that Democrats
seem to be more
concerned
about traditional Christian values, issues
and
behaviour than the Republican Party.
