Anyone surprised by Jussie Smollett’s hate crime hoax has not been paying attention to the liberal rot spreading through America’s culture. Victimhood is the new weapon being deployed by the left and sadly, in many cases, it’s being used effectively. Reports indicate this hoax was designed to increase Smollett’s popularity and his salary. He smeared half the country that voted for Trump, including millions who also voted for Obama, for personal gain. Not only is he a liar, he’s a self-serving greedy liar.

Recently we’ve witnessed several women use this tactic when accusing Justice Bret Kavanaugh of sexual assault. One of these fake victims even raised $800,000 from a go-fund-me account. And how about presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren lying about her Native American heritage. This hoax was to help secure a high paying job in the liberal bubble of academia. And we must not forget the king of victimhood, Colin Kaepernick. This hoax led to a lucrative TV add and a huge pay off from the NFL. All thanks to being a fake victim.

This victimhood culture is being promoted on college campuses across the nation. This culture is being pursued and encouraged by many unremarkable college professors and administrators. Students who lack self-respect are being convinced that it’s easier to become a victim than to rely on personal responsibility. Rather than graduating with enthusiasm and confidence many students are gravitating to groups that openly display resentment. This victimization disease cripples the student’s ability to compete in a global market while doing great damage to our country. Many of these pretend victims will become dependent on government. Democrats depend on their votes.

America’s descent from exceptionalism would not have been possible without a compliant and corrupt main stream media. President Trump was spot on when he said “fake news is the enemy of the people.” With GOD’s help let’s pray he will “Make America Great Again.”
