Truth Over Tact: The Cost of Playing It Safe

March 21, 2025

We’re living in a time when political correctness feels less like a tool for respect and more like a muzzle for truth. It’s become a dance of generalities—don’t offend this group, avoid that word, stay neutral—until the message is so watered down it means nothing to anyone.

The irony? While one side tiptoes around potential landmines, the other charges in with bold, unfiltered messaging—and wins. Not because it’s right, but because people are desperate to feel something real. That’s what Trump’s rise showed us. This isn’t about support. It’s about strategy. If truth is what people are hungry for, you better serve it straight—seasoned with clarity, not diluted by fear.

The Democratic Party has heart. It feels the people. But feelings without storytelling fall flat. And part of the problem is generational—older politicians clinging to the mic while younger voices wait in the wings. Kamala Harris was never truly allowed to shine in her own light. How can we expect new narratives if we’re still using outdated storytellers?

Maybe it’s time we stopped seeing politics as binary. People are fluid. Generations are shifting fast. Exposure, awareness, values—they’re evolving. Shouldn’t political structures evolve too? Why should a party box in people who think freely and feel deeply? Maybe the point is to build shared principles and let the stories—the messengers—shift with the times.

We can’t keep calling it democracy if those in power fear losing it more than they care about sharing it. If the judiciary is compromised, if Congress is filled with placeholders, if wisdom is hoarded instead of passed down—what are we left with?

This isn’t just a political issue. It’s a human one. And the truth—however uncomfortable—should be the only side we’re on.
