Democrats have once again drawn fire for what critics are calling a blatant snub of Christian traditions, opting instead to spotlight Islamic and Chinese cultural observances in their official social media blitz. While Ash Wednesday—marked by millions of faithful receiving crosses of ashes as a solemn reminder of mortality and repentance—passed with crickets from the DNC’s feeds, the party eagerly promoted Ramadan iftars and Lunar New Year festivities. This isn’t just tone-deaf scheduling; it’s a calculated pivot that reeks of the same cultural favoritism we’ve seen in policy arenas, where progressive priorities bend over backward for select minorities while sidelining the Judeo-Christian backbone of America’s founding ethos. Firearms enthusiasts and 2A defenders, take note: this mirrors the selective outrage in gun control debates, where urban gang violence gets a pass but law-abiding hunters and concealed carriers are demonized as existential threats.

Dig deeper, and the hypocrisy sharpens into a blade aimed at traditional values that underpin our Second Amendment rights. Christianity’s emphasis on individual moral agency and self-reliance directly fuels the armed citizen ethos—think of the faithful who view bearing arms as a God-given duty to protect family, community, and the innocent, echoing biblical calls to stewardship over tyranny. Yet Democrats, ever eager to erode those foundations, amplify narratives that dilute Western heritage, paving the way for collectivist policies that disarm the masses under the guise of harmony. We’ve seen it before: the same voices pushing assault weapon bans ignore how Islamic extremism or Chinese authoritarianism thrives on disarmed populaces, from the Uyghur camps to Tiananmen Square. By ignoring Ash Wednesday, they’re not just insulting 70% of Americans who identify as Christian; they’re signaling to the 2A community that your values—rooted in rugged individualism and divine sovereignty—are next on the chopping block.

The implications for gun owners are stark: in a cultural war where Democrats curate their calendar to appease globalist allies, expect intensified assaults on our rights framed as progress. Rally your networks, arm yourselves with facts (and steel), and vote like your freedoms depend on it—because they do. This Ash Wednesday oversight isn’t forgetfulness; it’s a declaration of whose side they’re on, and it’s decidedly not the one defending the Republic’s soul or its arsenal.
