I am sorry to hear that you think my electoral math and my statistics are flawed.
You wrote that Trump won Miss. by almost 20%.
Actually, Trump won Miss. by 16.5% in 2020.
Trump won Miss. by 17.8% in 2016.
Reagan won Miss. by 25% in 1984.
In 2008 and 2012, Obama lost Miss. by just 12%.
In 2018 and 2020, a Black Democrat U.S. Senate candidate in Miss. lost his two state wide elections by just 10%.
The obvious trend in Miss. voting is not encouraging for Conservative Republicans.
You claim that a solid majority of GOP voters want reduced levels of legal immigration.
If that were true, a solid majority of GOP Senators and Reps. would want the same thing.
In 2005-2008, a vocal and passionate minority of Republicans at Free Republic compelled the Republican Party to back down from Amnesty. It was a thrilling victory. But, short lived.
In Trump's first three years - before Covid - Trump naturalized more new citizens, Trump issued more Green Cards, and Trump issued more foreign work visas, than Obama did, during Obama's last three years in office.
Bottom Line...
20% of USA voters are foreign born or First Generation Americans.
They are the Swing Vote in USA politics - and, they vote 70% Democrat!
That was also a different age in America. No Republican OR DEMOCRAT can win 49 states. That will likely never happen again. I concede- Mississippi was 16.5, not 20.0. Of course strong majorities of Republicans want reduced legal ilmmigration levels. No that doesn’t immediately follow with “well, majorities of Republican voters want it reduced, therefore Republican officials feel the same....... Umm no, the whole reason for Trump & Republican voters protest vote for him was because the officials we elected sold out what a majority of our voters wanted on immigration because big business donors made huge contributions to their campaigns & got them to change their stance. Trump came in & said “I’m going to come in & build a big, beautiful wall. It’s going to be fabulous!” That’s part of why we began calling so many elected Republicans “establishment” & “Rhino”. They screwed their own voters, we got ticked & Trump became a voice for that anger.
As far as immigration- I agree! It’s been an unmitigated disaster overall. However, hispanic voters have moved 20points rightward since Trump. It’s been at 55/45 for the last 4 years. The Democrat plan on immigration is coming back to bite them. You are crazy if you think that bad statistics from 15 years ago are going to stay that way indefinitely! Stop thinking so negatively! The biggest problem I think Democrats didn’t count on was that when they made big promises about improvement in minority communities & it never materialized or actually made the situation worse, would eventually create a problem come election day. They believed the “demographics is destiny” thing. Nope! It’s way more complicated than that. Hispanics are on the verge of voting identical to white folks. Whites were in favor of mass deportations at 50+% & Hispanics were supporting it at 45%. They elected DeSantis & Florida & Texas. The only group that has moved in Democrats direction in the last 6 years are women with 4+ years of college & chances are in 10 years that won’t stick either 🤔
