Praeger: If It's Bad for America, It's Good for Democrats
One of the two major political parties of the United States has linked all its electoral hopes on domestic pathologies, economic downturns and foreign failure. It is actually difficult to name any positive development for America that would benefit the Democratic Party's chances in a national election.
Teasers:
  • If African Americans come to believe that America is a land of opportunity in which racism has been largely conquered, it would be catastrophic for the Democrats.
  • If women marry, it is bad for the Democratic Party.
  • If immigrants assimilate, it is not good for Democrats.
  • The better Americans feel they are doing, the worse it is for Democrats.
The most obvious area in which this rule currently applies is the war in Iraq. The Democrats have put themselves in the position of needing failure in Iraq in order to win the next election.

The list is almost endless.
Check out Praeger's discussion of these points at the link.
