If we are losing, it is because the Democrats have figured out that they can bribe the public with the publics own money. Something de Tocqueville warned of 200 years ago. It seems many people do not believe in the things that have made the US exceptional: personal responsibility, individual rights, capitalism and free markets and equality of opportunity not equality of outcome. The Dems buy votes with promises of free healthcare, free college, above market wages, etc. Buy enough votes and you can ram through any policy you want. But a system based on buying votes will implode because eventually you will run out of other peoples money.

Nothing the government gives you is free.
