For context, Harris County was actually a better performance with Hispanic voters compared to many other Texas counties this year. Democrats lost the overall Hispanic Vote in the state.

  3. Those voters are in the Find Out phase right now. Deporting immigrants and the rolling back of Equal opportunity employment fyi. Dummies

  4. Good god the ability of people to vote so directly against their own interests astounds me

  5. White people on reddit will call these people dumb for “voting against their interests” which is ironically pretty racist, instead of doing any self reflection. Maybe they know what they want more than you do?

    When the party more dedicated to social issues is losing minority votes year after year, something is seriously wrong.

  6. Maybe it’s a bad idea to bundle people into ethnic groups and assume they will vote as one block.

    A lot of people that pollsters label Latino think of themselves as white Americans.

    Maybe there are better ways to consolidate voters.

  7. why would an account be posting daily about minorities and usa elections to large international subs

  9. These stats should alarm Democrats and make them rethink their messaging and strategy.

    Without working-class minority voters as a reliable voting base, the Dems are fucked.

  10. This could also be the result of potential harris voters just not showing up making the % for trump proportionally increase even if numbers stayed the same

  12. So all you have to do to gain traction amongst any demographic is to be increasingly racist. Got it. Make this make sense.

  13. I would read this less as POC migrating to Trump, and more as POC migrating away from failed Democrat policies that hold that POC are doomed to fail, explicitly because of the color of their skin, unless they have help from a benevolent government master.  Any self-respecting person should reject that premise outright. Likely, this reflects the growing self confidence of POC to see a path to success that is unhindered by perceptions of race.  

  14. I posted something similar before and don’t mind the downvotes. I personally think that we give our general population too much credit for how willing they are to accept a female leader and an African American at that at this stage. There is a lot of deep rooted sexism and racism across the US and all of that trumps (no pun intended) any achievement or policy stances. I think this was also at the core of why Hilary lost acknowledging that she also made some significant strategic errors and blunders in her campaign. No one (few?) will admit it, but they will go to the voting booth and vote their values accordingly and a female president isn’t in scope for them. Would I like to see a female president in the US? Sure, as long as they are competent. But we need to stop trying to ignore the backwards ways still prevalent in this country and account for those voters when presenting a candidate. 

  15. And all of a sudden, Republicans dropped their conspiracy theory of “Dems are importing voters” 😂 It was always more likely than not that immigrants & their descendants would become Americans like everyone else

  16. As more privilege is lost there will be an alrealignment with nature over the coming decades.

  17. I swear something is in the water over there in Houston.

  18. I find it odd that they had such a hard-on for Hillary.

    Let’s remember, George W. Bush got 45% of the total Hispanic vote in 2004. Which means he probably won a bigger proportion of the Hispanic *male* vote than Trump did. Hispanics have never been dyed-in-the-wool Democrats and it’s certainly not unprecedented for Trump to have done as well with them as he did. Democrats were simply doing really well with them from 2008-2016.

    The question is: Why?

  19. Misinformation campaigns worked. All signs show it. Prison Don got the billionaire elites and all their media to help spread fake news. Elmo, Zuck, and Bezos all sat front row at the inauguration. That should terrify everyone

  20. When you run your whole campaign on identity politics, you’re generally going to lose. People didn’t like how the last 4 years turned out and wanted a change. Is that such a wild idea?
