“...the increase in Asian voters for the GOP.”
The most radical socialists in the Dim primaries here in the DC metro were southern Asians. The East Asians are still pretty responsible, but they seldom run for office.
I think the problem is perhaps as much about DC as South Asians. This is a generalization, but I’ve noticed Asians of all types often reflect the areas where they live long term or where they grew up. Unfortuantely, that means most are leftists, because so many live in blue areas on the coasts. Ones that are from conservative areas and were not brainwashed by leftism in school tend to be more open to voting Republican. Look at Bobby Jindal from Louisiana and Nikki Haley from South Carolina for just two of the most prominent examples. The current leader of India, Modi, is pretty Trump-like and has a lot of supporters here too.
The total Asian vote for Trump was almost exactly the same as the total Hispanic vote for him. We should be able to to do better than this though. Reagan got 50% of the Asian vote after all, but many of those people were legal immigrants, while a lot of Asian voters now are homegrown products of California and New York schools. It’s sad really.
