(CNN) — We may be witnessing a critical turning point in Latino politics in the United States.
Contrary to their monolithic treatment by many Americans, Latinos have always been very diverse -- economically, culturally and in their ethnic and national origins. But, politically speaking, they were reliably Democratic. That may no longer be true..... a number of new polls show Latino voters growing more Republican. But this trend may be less about how Latinos see America's political parties and more about how new generations of Latinos see themselves.
"The idea of unidad -- Latin unity -- not all Latinos buy into that," says Sergio Garcia-Rios, a Cornell University political scientist and the polling director for Univision. "People have multiple identities... (And) we're starting to see a lot more later-generation Latinos, who are just farther away from an immigrant's arrival."
...the Lone Star state offers a telling example. In the 2020 presidential race, Democrats targeted Texas, believing the pace of demographic change played in their favor. Like much of the American Southwest, an aging, White working-class population was giving way to urban professionals and immigrant-origin minorities - key constituents of the Democrats' coalition. But after Hillary Clinton won Zapata County, a county along the Mexico border, by almost 33 points in 2016, it turned red in 2020. Webb County, another border county, doubled its Republican turnout from 2016. And, in Starr County, south of Webb, Republicans recorded a 55% shift from 2016, the single biggest swing to the right in the entire country.
... but Zapata, Webb and Starr counties are respectively 94%, 95% and 96% Latino. And Trump actually performed 10 points better across Texas's 18 counties where Latinos make up 80% majorities in 2020 than he did in 2016.

Latinos don’t want to join a black supremacy LGBT coalition, apparently. Or, at least not all of them.

His tears are mighty sweet.
Though they are from several different countries and thus have different cultures, overwhelmingly Hispanic voters are not infected by wokeism. They actually value the idea that men should be men, the family, hard work, patriotism and religion. In terms of values they are natural Republicans.
Then again, so are Asians and they haven’t woken up yet.
Asians, by and large, will vote for the status quo as long as they are prosperous...............
The problem for all of us is democrats also know NEW illegals STAY democrat for a few decades. Which means they need to open the gates for millions of illegals...
Hispanics are hard working (with the usual exceptions of all ethnicities). We don’t need handouts, we want opportunities and let’s face it...if any ethnic group wants the roadmap to success in this country it’s pretty plain to see which road you don’t take - the path to failure, demoralization and desperation is owned by democrats - just ask black America how that worked out for them.
Zimmerman was actually multiracial (had black and Amerindian ancestry). There are white hispanics who are 100% European, such as Marco Rubio and Elvira Salazar.
99% of us Hispanics have never even heard the term “La Raza.” It was invented by a Mexican philosopher Vasconcelos over 100 years ago to describe “La Raza Cosmica” - a new race formed by a mix of Europeans and Amerindians.
Like my neighbor Ray. Cuban by way of Spain. He is very proud of the by way of Spain part. He also doesn’t look very ‘Hispanic’
I agree California is a lost cause but think about this. If a 20 percent Hispanic electorate votes 80 percent D, it’s a 12 point hole (16-4). If a 40 percent Hispanic electorate votes 60 percent D, it’s only an 8 point gap (24-16). Under the former scenario, R needs to win the rest 46-34 (57.5 percent)to tie versus 34-26 (56.7 percent) in the latter.
We need about 40 percent to keep Texas red.
Exactly. Their entire illegal strategy was based on the notion that these were “DemoKKKrat voters.” But as Baris has shown, DemoKKKrats have already lost Hispanic males (and are steadily losing black males). Now they are also losing Hispanic females.
They say we should welcome everyone in, it is a ‘humanitarian crisis’, etc. Yet they are very aggressive in stopping people from getting here from Cuba who are desperate for a better life...why? You know the answer...
So Hispanics are becoming more like white voters, the urban ones are Rats and the ones outside of the cities are more Republicans.
