NY Times: Increase in Diversity not going way Democrats hoped

Hispanic and Working Class Voters Are Both Fleeing From Progressives

Hispanic voters and working-class voters are increasingly at odds with strong progressive Democrats, and the latter’s push for social change is also pushing Hispanic voters at a much higher rate than they did working-class voters ahead of 2016. In the year Trump was elected, union households were split on who to vote for, which helped hand blue-collar states to Trump and break the Democrats’ hold over the rust belt.

 

But now, you have Hispanic voters who not only are disapproving of President Joe Biden and his agenda, but are actively siding with Republicans on key issues. Working-class voters had long been the backbone of Democrats in those rust belt states and Hispanic voters key to Democrats in southern states like Texas, Florida, and elsewhere. But Hispanic voters of all origins started breaking for Republicans — and Trump, in particular — in the last few election cycles. Working-class voters grew upset with the Obama administration attacking factory and mining jobs and flipped to Trump.

 

The Democrats are being run, though, by the ultra-progressive voices, and the Biden administration is listening solely to them.

Yep.

 

2nd and 3rd generation Hispanics figuring out what the sons and daughters of the waves of immigrants from 1920-1930 figured out by the time they were in their 40s and voted for the Reagan and 1994 Republican Revolution in the House.

 

That first wave at least was supported by Democrats who essentially were the first - America first.  They supported American industry and our own workers.  

 

That's done.  

 

They are the global green party now telling you to suck it up, buy an electric car, and that there are now 97 genders.

Democrats have long believed that “demography is destiny” — that if they just build a multicultural coalition utilizing shifting demographics in the country, they’d obtain a permanent political majority. But there’s a problem: Democrats then switched to all identity politics and extreme takes on social issues that end up pushing many of those demographic groups away.

 

And all the while, they have whistled past this particular graveyard. Donald Trump, vilified as the most racist and corrupt President of all time, nonetheless picked up increasing Hispanic and even black voter support. Republicans in states like Texas and Florida, which have a very large number of Hispanic voters, are getting larger and larger shares of those votes.

 

There is increasing dissatisfaction with Biden among black voters. The working class are losing their faith in Democratic politicians in swing states. The base they were so reliant on is disappearing ahead of the November midterms.

 

Demography is not, in fact, destiny. As it turns out, you have to actually work to keep those votes, and to do that, you need to know what it is they actually want from their politicians.

Democrats losing Black voters over abortion

 

Congressional Democrats have been betting large on pro-abortion policies being a winner for them in the midterms during an otherwise dismal year of polling for their party. States moving to impose abortion restrictions have been their primary targets as candidates attempt to scare their voters into showing up at the polls to “stop the Republican menace.” There are suggestions that this strategy may work in some places, at least to a certain extent. But some new analysis coming out of Wisconsin this week suggests that the Democrats may be overplaying their hand with one of their key voting blocks. Black voters are not nearly as invested in legalized abortion as their white counterparts in the Democrats’ ranks. And with the Dems already hemorrhaging support in the Hispanic community, they really can’t afford to start losing Black voters at this point. (Associated Press)

 

Facing critical races for governor and U.S. Senate, Democratic hopefuls in Wisconsin are hoping that their support for abortion rights in the face of a Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade can overcome the headwinds of a midterm election long expected to favor Republicans. But there’s one key group their strategies might fail to mobilize: Black voters.

 

An issue with strong support from white Democrats is more complicated in the Black community, especially among churchgoers who hold more conservative views on abortion. The topic is so fraught that most community organizers avoid bringing it up.

 

“Among the Black Baptist church alone, that would split us in half,” said David Liners, executive director of WISDOM, a faith-based organizing group with a statewide presence, when asked why his group isn’t organizing around abortion.

 

A spokeswoman for Milwaukee-based Souls to the Polls is quoted as calling the subject “taboo” in the churches where she organizes get-out-the-vote drives. It’s simply not something that is brought up, and on the rare occasions when it is, it is not well received.

 

{snip}

 

The divide probably isn’t as stark as it is on other issues, but this could easily be seen as yet another example of the Democratic Party taking the Black vote in the United States for granted. They do this cycle after cycle, often without producing much in the way of results on issues of concern to the Black community.

 

Simply assuming that everyone with a Democratic registration form supports unlimited abortion access may turn out to be a significant tactical error. And if that’s the case, Democrats’ fears of a looming red wave may be just as justified as they seemed a few months ago.

Who says Trump is gone? Your party is still acting like he is Dear Leader.. just ask Lynne Cheney. 
 

Dems are charging them more for gas? Ok, maybe an economics lesson would help you. 
 

Taxing who more? The wealthy, yes. 
 

Arresting who? Wtf are you babbling about? 
 

We are looking at North Carolina too, and you actually think California will go Republican? Lol 

 

You & BT don't that's all you still harp on is Trump !

 

The Dems aren't the ones actually charging more for gas it's their policies that have caused the higher prices !

 

They may not be taxing more but the amount of inflation because of their actions is doing a hell of a job to make up for it ! 

 

Babbling incoherently is your forte !

 

You can look at N Carolina but you can't touch & California is way to stupid to go republican they must be gluttons for punishment because they just keep bringing them back . 

 

As they say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over again and expecting a different result  . Hello Cali/Tibs/BT  !!

Biden was really on it today: "You can't be pro-police and pro-rioters that attack them!"
