I was raised to think of myself as Hispanic, but in retrospect, I was trained to worship like a white man. My mother was from Honduras, but she might as well have come from Mayberry. Back "home," our family history had been difficult. Lots of great people but even more hard times. People had been beaten up, tortured, gunned down, and kidnapped. One of my relatives was conscripted into some kind of a militia. He was put into a boot camp and sent out to kill people. I never found out which side it was for. From the sound of it, neither did my mom.
These stories of Latin America have stuck with me as far back as I can remember. I never went back to visit anyone there, and, in truth, I never wanted to. Because Honduras was a nightmare, I was trained to check the back seats of my car, whenever I got in it, to make sure there wasn't a kidnapper hiding there. I heard stories about left-wing students rioting in the streets and attacking people. My relatives, last time Mom visited Tegucigalpa, had to hire people to stand guard all night with machetes. There was family back home who loved us, but little safety. We were up here grilling in the parks for fun, and they were running home stoves off fumes from pig feces.
She apparently wanted none of this for us and went full-bore Americana. The family she adores was Catholic, but we would all be raised Protestant. Baptist, most accurately. An almost Southern, honky, big tent revivalist, Dwight Moody and Billy Graham spirit. Not the respectable Frozen Chosen Euro-Episcopalian, but the things you'd most likely find in Arkansas. We were raised celebrating the Magna Carta, Martin Luther, the Mayflower, George Washington,

This isn’t hard to figure out. Democrats have been so busy with black this and black that to the exclusion of all else, is it any wonder other minority groups don’t want anything to do with them?
Hispanics are prone to believe in God and family. That’s why most of them don’t support Biden.
No ‘machismo’........................
I would suggest it’s as simple as seeing Democrats in the USA behave like the corrupt politicians in the places they fled.
trump is ‘el jefe’, as apparent on Tuesday
Sleepy Joe is an old weakling.
Because they are overall pretty hard working and decent people, are disgusted by weakness, and they see n reason they should pay reparations to blacks.
Next question.
In spite of what the ‘people of color’ folks say, in my experience, Americans of Hispanic descent are not overly fond of being lumped into the same category of humanity as American blacks. The democrat party is in full pander-to-blacks mode right now. I don’t think is helping them attract Hispanic voters, most of whose ancestors came to this country quite willingly because it offers a better life.
they hate being called Latinx by ugly, infertile white women
The author is completely correct.
The Dims want to put “us, the voters” in nice neat little boxes with labels on them to appeal to “our” specific voter demographics. This tidbit will appeal to “women”, this tidbit will appeal to “black”, etc...and they will “fight” for these “oppressed” groups.
The free thinking conservatives appeal to all voters irregardless of demographics.

In SW Florida where I live they are entrepreneurs, business owners, home owners and church going family people. Why would the vote for Biden.
Hispanics are looking forward to the day when they can pay reparations to blacks—not!
Because those Hispanics who fled socialist countries are not interested in seeing it come to their new home.
It’s not just Biden.
It’s all democrats.
I sure hope that the swing to the right happens across the board in all elections.
We need the House back, and the Senate to maintain its majority. A few more in the Senate would be awesome, to, since they are 6 year terms.
Legal immigrants hate illegals.
John Roberts wasn’t all that good in CANADA either. He’s about the same as the freak Ali Velchi of MSNBC who’s Canadian.
I know and I don’t blame them one bit.
“A Theory for Why Biden Can’t Win Hispanics”
No theory necessary. The racist Mayor of Chicago ordered the BLM thugs to burn down Mexican businesses and neighborhoods on May 31. The Mexicans set up barricades with people carrying AKs. The black racists were pulled out of cars and got their asses kicked. The BLM racists ran back to their black ghettos and have been pinned down since.
The Mexicans hate the black racist pigs. And that’s not a theory.
