As I’ve mentioned many times before, I moved to the United States from Mexico when I was a pre-teen.
While I considered myself a “liberal” for years, much of what finally drove me away from the Democrats was their inability to think of me as an individual, and rather lump me into easy-to-chew categories.
I’m a woman. CHECK. I have a masters degree. CHECK. I am a Hispanic Immigrant. CHECK CHECK CHECK.
They had me entiiiiirely figured out, right?
WRONG.
The left has ENTIRELY discounted the fact that people DON’T fit into neat little boxes. They’ve forgotten that categories and labels cannot sum up the whole of a person.
For years, they’ve been going after the Latino vote by pretending to CARE about immigration and coming up with ridiculous crap like “Sanctuary cities” and spitting out a few garbled words in Spanish in their political ads.
Here’s what they’re forgetting.
We’re not JUST “Hispanic”… we don’t JUST care about immigration.
For instance… Many of us are VERY devout in our Catholic faith.
The left has gone out of their WAY to mock Catholicism and Christianity, to disenfranchise traditional family values, and uphold abortion as the ultimate pilar.
Yeeeah… about that.
Additionally, LEGAL Hispanic immigrants appreciate jobs, a booming economy, and the opportunity to live out the “American Dream” they came here to find.
The left likes to tell everyone the American dream is dead.
Peel back the “we love immigrants (‘ votes) charade they have going, and they offer little else.
Hispanics were supposed to be the left’s jackpot.
They may be BITTERLY disappointed.
According to a new report, Democratic candidates worry they won’t do as well with Hispanic voters in the upcoming 2018 midterms as they thought they might.
Despite constant rhetoric from many in the establishment media that paints President Trump as racist or anti-Latino, a good chunk of Hispanic voters are not entirely in love with Democrats either.
CNN reports, “Democrats have hit an unexpected speed bump in their drive to regain control of Congress: unsettling signs that the party may not generate as much turnout or support among Latino voters this fall as it expected.”
Indeed, during the 2016 election, President Trump exceeded the expectations of many by not repelling the number of Hispanic voters that many predicted he would. Some estimations put Trump’s share of the Latino vote in 2016 over Mitt Romney’s share in 2012.
We’ll see how it all pans out…
But ultimately, I wouldn’t be surprised if that “Blue Wave” they keep blabbing about turns out to be little more than blue spittle.
