When will Democrats get that going ‘woke’ was electoral suicide. For a party that prides itself in being diverse, it’s not. It’s rapidly becoming a party of single, college-educated white female socialists. They’re ideologically insane. They’re shrill. They can’t message. They’ve alienated almost everyone. White progressives are also saddled with mountains of college debt. Why do you think it’s become a top issue for the Democratic Party? The base is dominated by a snobby, elitist, and overwhelmingly white core that is way out of step with the other blocs that comprise the liberal base. It’s become so bad that Hispanics are bolting from the party. College-educated men are fleeing to the GOP. And now, Asian-Americans are saying sayonara to the Left. It’s not because they’ve decided to become hardcore conservatives. They’re just tired of being discriminated against when it comes to their kids’ education. Yes, there is a color scale that Democrats slap on everyone, and Asians don’t quite make the cut regarding the ‘person of color’ test (via Daily Caller):
“The Asian alone population grew by 35.5% between 2010 and 2020,” according to the 2020 U.S. Census, accounting for the fastest growing non-white population. Only 55% of Asian-Americans approved of President Joe Biden in a January poll released by the Pew Research Center.A majority of polls do not include Asian-Americans as a separate demographic due to their relatively small population size compared to Hispanic, black and white voters. Asian-Americans are also diverse, and many are immigrants who are not fluent in English, making it difficult to conduct accurate surveys, according to Pew.
However, Republican Asian-Americans told the Daily Caller they have seen a shift towards the right in their communities.
Discrimination against Asians in school acceptance is “one of the major things that are waking people up” from the Democratic Party, Xi Van Fleet, a mother who left China during the rule of Mao Zedong, told the Daily Caller.
In the past, “Chinese, Vietnamese and maybe Korean” immigrants didn’t speak out very loudly about their political preferences, but anti-Asian discrimination in school acceptance processes is changing that, Van Fleet, who gained notoriety after speaking out against critical race theory at a Loudoun County School Board meeting in June, continued.
[…]
The only Republican Chinese immigrant candidate running for Congress, Lily Tang Williams, agreed that school discrimination has been a central factor for the Asian-American community in turning to the GOP.
“Lot’s of Asian-Americans are waking up because when you look at it, the Chinese-American values are they want lower taxes, they want the best quality of education for their kids and their kids are being discriminated” by school acceptance policies
[…]
“Wokeism [tells Asians] ‘hey, your color is not black enough,'” Williams said, claiming that the discrimination against Asians in school acceptance rates is also driven by class, since Asians have the highest median household income in the U.S.
And shocker—Asian-Americans are not too keen on the COVID lockdowns that ruined small businesses, the spike in crime that has been enabled by failed liberal reform policies, and a porous southern border. If this is the reason why Asian-Americans are fleeing, it makes sense. I’ll only say that the one thing we need to keep in mind about Asian-Americans is that we’re notoriously hard to poll. As a Korean American, yes—I admit that I’m not speaking to any pollster who calls me, even if it’s from a GOP firm. I’m too busy with other things. Leave me alone.
When will Democrats get that going ‘woke’ was electoral suicide.
Why do you WANT them to get it? Let them continue to their doom. I WANT them to keep stoking the anger of everyone...why do you ask “questions” to save them from themselves?
That’s nice.
They fought for decades to screw Americans as long as they could get preferences.
now they don’t get that...so they’re mad at the turncoat trash who abandoned them for the Mexicans?
Whatta laugh.
Basically
"Only 55% of Asian-Americans approved of President Joe Biden in a January poll released by the Pew Research Center."
"Republican Chinese immigrant candidate running for Congress, Lily Tang Williams, agreed that school discrimination has been a central factor for the Asian-American community in turning to the GOP."
Electoral suicide? No. The dems will take a hit this November but it won't be terminal.
Far more importantly from their point of view is that their push for wokism has embedded their insanity into the woodwork of every institution that impacts daily living. A temporary electoral setback is of minor concern.
Like the thing in "The Thing" (John Carpenter's version), the monsters of woke will hide when they must, attack when they can, and always bide their time until normal humans start to feel copacetic and return to their middle class slumber.
I'm with you - let's use the opportunity to welcome Asians, Hispanics, college educated white men and traditional blacks to our party.
And here’s hoping they never get it and the party dies its death.
The Dem party was overrun with radials starting with the Clintons. They kept themselves hidden for so long. But now they have revealed themselves. The wolves have shirked the sheep's clothing! And they laid down all their face cards: open borders, astronomical spending, Obamacare on steroids, endless pandemics and emergencies, more infrastructure. Let all the world see.
I’ve long said two groups of people - Asians and Jews - baffle me with their voting patterns. Both have good values. Both generally stay out of trouble, get and stay married, do not have kids until married, get a good education and work hard. Both tend to be quite successful as a result (no surprise).
Yet they somehow both vote Democrat.
Even though its not in their economic interest. Even though criminals target both and Democrats have not been the party of law and order in many many years. Even though both are discriminated against by schools, employers and government for not being dark skinned. So other than the Democrats are terrible for the economy and for crime and for their kids’ education and for being treated fairly and judged on their actual merit, they align well with what the modern Democrat party stands for.
What?????????
How can otherwise smart people be so dumb? (a question I have about the Germans too).
For many years the (D) party has been a coalition of crazies, and a few who thought they were “traditional” democrats.
The numerous splinter fanatic groups have begun to eat each other.
Loo for restoration of “normalcy” at some point This could be the beginning. I also question the assumption that all these Hispanic southern border-crossers are reliable (D) voters. They may not be. Many are Catholic, and many are fleeing repressive socialist governments.
They may turn out to be more conservative than the (D) big-braynes think.
It’s a small, but forlorn hope.
The dems still play fast and loose like they have an ace up their sleeve. I hope they are just brain-dead stupid.
You haven’t seen anything yet.
The vast majority of the world’s population is Asian. Once they start coming here in droves.. it will make past immigration from central and south America pale in comparison.
My prediction is that much like the Greeks, Italians, and other Mediterranean immigrants before them, eventually, 2-3 generations in the vast majority of Hispanics will be considered “white”.
Meanwhile, Asian immigration will pick up steam more and more and eventually they will easily surpass Hispanics as the largest minority.
Lots and Lots of “hispanics” consider themselves to be White...because they are. Their rates of intermarriage are 50% in the first generation. The same is true of Asians BTW. The vast majority of the time their spouse is White.
I don’t see this identity politics thing working out for Democrats in the long term. Most of the immigrants we’ve gotten are going to blend in over time like the waves of immigrants before them. Irish and Italians and Eastern Europeans used to vote Democrat at one time. No longer.
That's why I say, if you want to see white people in commercials these days, watch the Spanish channel.
My niece in law is a Republican her family fled Vietnam and her family started businesses. She is a pharmacist.
I agree completely
I’m going to guess that it’s because of the Democrat Party’s whacked out education policy. Asian-Americans demand rigorous education for their children, not woke hyper-sexualized crap.
The democrats kiss black ass 24/7 365 to promote unity where there is great Afro Heritage diversity. BLM is a unity creating device that is a cancer on American society. BLM is void of the cultural diversity within the Afro Heritage citizenry.
