[The GOP presidential candidate with the strongest support among Hispanics in my lifetime was George W. Bush. That right there is a huge problem with the scenario you laid out.]


IMHO, Dubya got Hispanic support for the same reason Trump did - he seemed like a regular guy who wouldn’t talk down to them. (The WOT was probably another, unspoken factor - Hispanics are probably more fervently* Christian than their Spanish counterparts back in Europe). In other words, the same kind of thing that drew white working class support for both of them.

Today, there’s another factor at work - clear policy differences. With the Dems supporting riots and economic shutdowns, in addition to ruining an indeterminate number of Hispanic business owners, while putting their employees on the street, Hispanics are starting to see why having Democrats in power is not a good thing.

* A crusade would have seemed a heaven-sent opportunity to slaughter the Moors in retaliation for their assault upon the West. In fact, most of the post-9/11 assaults on Muslims or suspected Muslims stateside were carried out by Hispanics. That Dubya used this opportunity to impose ridiculous ROE’s during the Afghan and Iraqi campaigns that got thousands of Americans killed unnecessarily probably soured many on this moron.

Alone among Christians stateside, Hispanics still take their religion seriously in the sense of wanting to slaughter the Muslim infidel for Christ the Redeemer. Fidei defensor might be the nominal reign style of British monarchs - it is the actual sentiment of many Hispanics. It’s not an accident that they are well-represented among the Proud Boys, for whom the defense of traditional Christianity is an integral element of their organization.

I’m happy to have Hispanics on board but my experience many of them have a completely different world view that is incompatible with our constitutional foundation of law here.

For one thing, many of them are totally comfortable living in a corrupt oligarchy where all the lines between church, state and corporate leadership have been erased. I attribute that to the cultural norms that defined Latin American governance in the post-colonial era in Central and South America. They don’t migrate here because they have an affinity for the American system of government. They migrate here only because our system works better ... for now.
