Hispanics drift away from the party of abortion, gun control, and Jan. 6
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/16/22

It's not every day that a politician's gaffe perfectly encapsulates his or her party's growing separation from a community that has been a vital part of its electoral coalition. But Dr. Jill Biden made exactly such a misstep on Tuesday when she said Hispanics in the United States were as "distinct as the bogidas of the Bronx" (meaning to say "bodegas") and as " unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio."

Wow. Univision spent a whole segment denouncing the speech that same day. The National Association of Hispanic Journalists responded in a tweet : “We are not tacos.”

No wonder Hispanic voters are shifting so rapidly from their traditional Democratic home to the Republican Party. Already, a series of local and national elections in South Texas have confirmed this trend. But one of the first people to notice it was Democratic strategist Ruy Teixeira, co-author of the political classic The Emerging Democratic Majority. When he co-authored this book with John Judis in 2002, the two envisioned a Democratic-dominated future based on a political coalition of upscale professionals plus racial and ethnic minorities.

What he has noticed in the time since then is that typically conservative Hispanic attitudes are really starting to show up in election results.

Teixeira examined several of these attitudes last week in a lengthy blog post . One after another, he compared reactions to various statements in surveys by self-described “very progressive” voters versus Hispanics. For example, when given a choice between “America is not the greatest country in the world” and “America is the greatest country in the world,” voters who describe themselves as “strong progressives” agree with the former, 66% to 28%, whereas Hispanics say the opposite, 23% to 70%. Incredibly, there is just 1 percentage point of daylight between “working-class” voters...

That’ll get the border shut down quicker than anything else does.

If the democrats think they’re going to be losing their vote, they’ll be deported so fast their heads will spin.

Given this trend I wonder if it’s possible they could flip the New Mexico legislature.

There's a huge Hispanic bloc in the U.S. that is legal...and hardworking, increasingly successful, and family-oriented. In the area in which I live, they own farms, businesses, and commercial real estate, and are a dominant group of consumers.

Take away the descriptors of conservative vs liberal and you'll see that Hispanics as a group, at least around here, are incredibly common-sense/practical, moral, financially clever and ambitious, and pro-American.

The American Dream is alive and well to them and they will vote their interests...and those interests DO NOT align with the Democrat Party.

The harder Xiden and his “Dr.” wife shove their feet into their mouths, the wiser Trump and Chief Justice Roberts look for avoiding civil war over the stolen election. One of Rush Limbaugh’s cardinal rules was, “You don’t win by losing.” But every rule has its exceptions! This is one of them. Letting Xiden’s handlers steal the election meant an ass hat clown who makes Carter and Obama look like Einstein would drag down the whole Democrat party. Losing the Latino vote truly is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for the Democrats!

I long for the day when no group in this nation isn't refereed to as ''they'' and simply Americans.

Well, voting blocs exist in every country and culture.

But OTOH, America is undergoing a sea change. I notice it at Walmart. Big retail stores are overrun with Hispanic workers loaded with cash. Some are groups of workers covered with sweat and some are families all dressed up.

The voting bloc that hasn't noticed this sea change is the so-called African American bloc who think they can ride the affirmative action wave into the future.

Jill and her pedo husband, as well as the entire Democrat party, are too concerned about blacks to worry about Hispanics. Their fetish with “all things black” have driven the Hispanics into the arms of Republicans.

A small decline in the Blcak vote means loss of the City States and then the states they control and then the whole ball of wax.

The constant Kissing of Black Ass is a democrat survival act

"Drift away"? - no that's a propaganda term. Many were never there to start with and many have already run away.

The MSM sure is flogging the “Dr” Jill Biden thing. They refer to her more often as “DR” than they do as First Lady Jill Biden.
Someone sure has their panties in a twist.

If that actually happens the southern border will be shut closed and a higher wall will be built.
