In fact, demographic changes should mean NOTHING. What means EVERYTHING is making people understand why they should vote for us. To assume that people of color will vote one way is not only its own form of racism, but it is the lazy way of not having to reach out to them.
Old country traditional Mexicans who come here should naturally vote Republican. Those folks don't go for gay marriage and abortion and all that crap.
In 2016, Texas was the state with the second highest percentage of Latino voters. 28.1% of the eligible voters were Latino.
In 2008, Latinos voted blue by 36 points.
In 2012, Latinos voted blue by 44 points.
In 2016, Latinos voted blue by 38 points.
In 2018, Latinos voted blue by 40 points.
This isn't racism. These are facts. You can choose to ignore historical trends of how people vote if you like.
You don't understand my point. My point is that a human being is a human being and we all want the same things for ourselves and our children, and if we reach out to people and make them see why they should vote for us then it does not matter what color they are.
YOU make it sound like party affiliation is bread into their race and their skin color. Yes, that is quite racist, and stupid too.
Again: Old country traditional Mexicans who come here should naturally vote Republican. Those folks don't go for gay marriage and abortion and all that crap.
I understand your point fine. I just choose not to ignore historical trends.
Party affiliation is not bread into skin color - people are free to pick whatever they want, and they do. But you would be foolish to think that a black person has a 50-50 percentage of choosing between Democrat and Republican. Historically, that's just not the case. No matter how you try to spin it.
You think it's stupid to think that race has anything to do with party affiliation. I think it's stupid not to think that race is tied to party affiliation. I have historical data on my side. You pick what you want though.
