- A WSJ analysis shows that Latino communities drifted toward the Republican Party in the last presidential election. If the trend continues, it could mark a dramatic change for America’s two major political parties. WSJ’s Shelby Holliday and Aaron Zitner take a look at three places where Latinos could help decide important races in 2022. Photo illustration: Amber Bragdon

#Midterms #Voting #WSJ
Don’t you love it when political parties feel entitled to certain ethnic group votes.
Not only ethnic groups. But many politicians feel like "We did that for you in the past so you owe us your vote now" Instead of earning the vote each and every election.
Yeah it's pretty dumb to expect people to vote with their best interest in mind.
@@sandrajackson709 because you know what’s better for everyone
@@josueborja9199 Does not have anything at all to do with me
Yes us Latinos hate the term latinx and tired of pedophinlia fetishes the democrat party exhibits its that simple, I hope that party gets disbanded in November.
One thing I know is that every single Latino I know is turned off by the term "Latinx".
Yup
Show me one democratic campaign that used gender inclusive words in it outreach towards Latinos. Because I never saw any democratic candidates use inclusive language yet you keep parroting some stupid claims. Like linguistic activists don't usually run for office, and if how they chose to use language is going to put you off you might as well switch parties now.
@@nromk Joe Biden used the word Latinx lol and he said it LahTinks, which made it even funnier. The clown president used it
@@TestTest-ei4gi really because he has never used gender inclusive language when speaking to Latinos.... This a joke some conservative told you because Biden is actually a really conservative when it comes to how he speaks.
And if you think gender inclusive language turns voters off, in Argentina Alberto Fernández won with the camping todes which all and the Mexican president uses todas y todos which also means all.... So clearly inclusive language isn't as controversial as you make it seem
Fr respect to WSJ for using Latinos
As a young latino I think I speak for most Latinos in saying we are sick of the identity politics and performative activism of the Democratic Party. I feel white liberals look down on us and just see as easy votes and don’t understand how strong and hardworking we are. Latinos are probally the most diverse group in America and I’m sick of how we all get grouped together
So you say let’s vote gop because THEY care bout you ..
@@thanosb_4638 Nope none truly do, but making our vote a competitive one means that we now have more leverage to influence politicians to back policies that cater to our needs so they could secure our vote
Gop policies already cater to latinos. Mass immigration, free trade and globalization take their jobs or make them even more competitive to the point where wages are a fraction of where they should be. Most latinos are catholic social conservatives and they escaped socialist countries. Why would they vote for socially liberal marxist that want to steal their job.
As a liberal, I kinda see where you are coming from. I don’t think either political party has any respect for anyone, and it just happens to be catching up to the democrats
@@thanosb_4638 It’s not that they don’t care, they just don’t see anyone by race and just see all of us as Americans. Don’t mistake silence for apathy.
As a Hispanic millennial, I can confirm that a lot of people I grew up and around with is that they shifted away from Dems and are now Rep or Ind or Libertarian. They just can't count on our easy vote anymore, and that is a great thing for all! Earn our vote!!
So you’ll give it to the other party just because? Just trying to understand….
Because the Republican Party don't assume your party or call you an uncle Tom or a sellout. That's the democratic party.
@@garystahler9112 Thank you..... I think they are both awful and should be split up into two. But I am trying to understand the shift and the latinos' view here.
Glad to see Hispanics turn their backs on the woke ideologues. The future of the political landscape in U.S. lies in your hands.
Voting for the LP is our best bet these days. Both major parties kinda suck.
The idea that people from Argentina would hold the same political views as people in Cuba or El Salvador could not be further from the truth.

If there is one thing I would suggest to the Democrat Party is to drop the "Latinx" label. Quit gentrifying Spanish/Hispanic culture.
Exactly… the Spanish/Hispanic/Latin people span 3 different continents and speak multiple languages but yet the Left wing base love to group them all together with terms like Latinx. Its racist if you ask me
That’s your only suggestion??? Dude…🐑
@@JinNani224 you’re the sheep. Hes explaining in simple terms what I explained in the response. I am a cuban american and my problems are different than lets say the Mexican population. We aren’t the same and the lefts idiology think we are. Thats blatant racisism and lack of understanding of peoples culture. Thats why my family dosnt vote left. Until the dems realize this, they will loose many “Latino”(I am not Latino) votes.
@@haught7576 no it's not. Most have never even heard of it and those who have typically hate it even those who are LGBTQ can't stand being called Latinx but the left believe in the colonization of other cultures with their values. They think they need to "fix" people until they think and believe as they do. This is shown in every poll.
You do realize that the term latinx is sor gender non conforming people. And btw across Latin America both latinx and it’s alternative latine are being adopted.
As a Hispanic, I want freedom to succeed, a lawful and safe society, and dignity. I don't want freebies, being told I am a victim, and labels that end in X. I don't care what you do in your bedroom, respect your privacy. Before you are my leader, show me you made something or ran a business well, not just spoken. Let me be worthy of my dignity, work hard and succeed with my own sweat.

The Mexican immigrants I've known are some of the hardest working and most honest people I've ever known. Panchito me enseñaba mucho
Well said. I can back this.
Mr.Counsel for president 2024!
Well said.
I have many Hispanics friends that when we talk politics tell me how they are voting red in the next elections for the first time.
Problibily sit on nails to.
Yep here in Dallas TX a lot of my Mexican American friends myself included have been talking and discussing voting for the GOP many who I would’ve never thought to vote Red in my life are considering it too
@@frankdunne2401 No that’s how they are feeling now.
@@fordb150owner6 I’m voting red solely because of inflation. All the other issues are irrelevant to me
@@Charlemagnetheman ah yes I’m sure when Kevin McCarthy becomes speaker of the house inflation will magically go away
Speaking as a reluctant democrat who is Latino, identity politics and open immigration will be the death of the party if they do not pivot and get their act together.
Wouldn’t the death of democracy itself at the hands of republicans be worse?
There has been no such thing as open immigration between Mexico and the USA since the 70s, no political party in the USA supports open immigration between Mexico and the USA and things were better when the USA had open immigration between Mexico and the USA.... Why do support the scapegoating of our people? Because the USA had open immigration between Canada and the USA, traveling to Canada and vice versa is easier than traveling to Mexico and vice versa, why isn't open immigration between Canada and the USA questioned? Afterall the same amount of people cross the borders on both sides. The only difference is that Canada doesn't have a special military task force treating people like animals.
@@nromk As someone who grew up near the border in several states (CA/AZ), that isn't true. Their is massive support/push for open borders, just off the top of my head 1) drivers license for illegal immigrants 2) DACA 3) social programs aimed and or include those who illegally migrated 4) campaign messages, 4) lack of desire to actually enforce border and provide info to ICE
Also it seems that you support open borders too based on your comment, so why don't you think democrats aren't pushing for it?
open immigration should be only expanded, identity politics depends on what you are refering tho
You have no idea of what you are talking about. I work in hospitality and we can't find workers, landscaping, construction, restaurants etc... If we didn't have all those hard working people here we will have huge price inflation. You must be one of those 2nd gen Latinos, lazy bums who is completely unaware of the realities around you. Open a business and hire some bums like yourself and see how it goes!
Millennial Latino here. I was a card carrying Democrat that voted for Obama in 2012 and was a fellow for the party in Miami Dade in 2014.
The party's flat footed response to 2016, their endless wokeism, and seemingly deliberate goal of keeping solutions out of reach for hot button issues as a strategy to use them for every election cycle has really soured on me. I will never vote Democrat again.
Republicans are there to give tax cut to big cooperation and bilioniors, and they don't believe our democracy anymore, and are becoming authoritarian party every day.
between Obamacare, Obama and Biden's handling of Afghanistan, the constant blatant double standard and media bias for the blue team and the continued assault on the bill of rights I too will never vote for a Democrat again.
Agreed I'm down in Homestead fl never voting blue again
@@donmcglothlin841 Obamacare was the biggest pork barrel scam ever done on the American taxpayer. Worst of both worlds: profiteering of the private sector and strong-arm compulsion of the government.
Key memory for me from inside the party was a meeting we had with the higher staff when we did voter drives: keep the message simple for the average person in low income neighborhoods, the real work happens when we meet for brunch with the Miami Beach donors that finance our campaigns. If that isn't an F U to the working class I don't know what is
No offense, but the GOP has not accomplished more solutions. Both parties suck
I haven’t watched the video but as a American Mexican a big thing for many Mexicans is the ability to provide for their family and work hard with some upward mobility so stuff like inflation and gas prices really hurt that

The issue is clumping all Latinos in a single demographic. Not all nations think the same,second-generation lations and so on tend to be more conservative than first-generation. In Florida Cubans sided with Trump.
Even 1st generation Cubans vote republican
Cubans were always hardcore Republican loyalists. It didn't start with Trump.

If Latino voters go the same path as the Italian and Irish vote went, what could happen in California?
The thing is is that the latino base is so large & diverse. California Latinos are huge on immigrants, and as long as the republicans keep a hard-line stance on illegal immigration with their rhetoric, California Latinos will never support them.
I'm not from the USA. Are you saying that people with Italian an Irish ancestry vote more for the Republicans?
@@celica9098 Texas Mexicans can be way different than California Mexicans. Even Los Angeles Mexicans are different that Northern California Mexicans in political beliefs. Other than the importance of Family, values can be very different. Mexicans are concerned (mostly) with immigration. Cubans and Puerto Ricans are not.

Yeah the Republicans are doing a lot for the Latino immigrants they’re sending them on buses to other states they’re fighting to keep them out Joe Biden is letting them in so go ahead and be fooled by the Republican stench! They just want you to vote for them so they can win the Senate and House at all costs
The modern day Democrat party went from being the party of the working class to the party of the lgbt, woke stupidity, socialism, blm scam, usa last

As a Latino, let's vote for a party who worships an Orange psychopath who characterized Mexican immigrants as Rapists and Murderers, spreads racist conspiracy theories about the "White Replacement Theory" That caused the shooting in El Paso Texas that targeted Latinos, and now has CON Desantis, who was responsible for Human Trafficking as a political stunt.

@@Smfsableye
They are leftist. They are just not extremists.
@@elcuhangeltv I think the point he was making is that at least they didn't use latinx. Latinx is the worst corporate mumbo jumbo to ever be shoved down our throats, I hate it.
Latinx
How about you do an analysis of the vote by country of origin. Stop generalizing “Hispanic/Latinos” as being all the same. We are NOT the same. People from Mexico, El Salvador, or Cuba are not the same and have different values/history. It would also be good to see an analysis of 1st/2nd/3rd/4th generation “Latinos”
Just the fact that Merica labeled the whole central and South America LATIN AMERICA says everything about the me and them division.
Be thankful society doesn't label you as a color like it does whites and blacks. I guess it kinda does or at least the Left does by calling anyone who isn't white a person of color. It's all pretty absurd
That’s not what’s important here - me, a friendly Salvatrucha
Bro preach, I hate pieces like this because everyone is unique and has unique issues that push them to vote. I swear these people have too much time lol
It's America! The place where you casually fill out forms with your "race"
Most latinos believe in conservative values so it’s not a surprise. Most latinos are also very religious which may also play a big role in this trend.
Religion in politics. What a great combination (not).
@@OscarTheGrouchy that’s the facts man, what do you suggest we do, ban religious people from voting? 🫤

@@yomilala8929 and yet the people who use that term are mostly young Latin women. millineals. so take it up with them.
The first mistake is to believe that a huge sample of people that speaks Spanish is the same. An argentinian is very different culturally to a Mexican, a Colombian from the north had little in common with a Colombian from the south of the same country. So please stop thinking that you can define more than 20 countries by saying Latino. I don't consider myself Latino, I'm Colombian and inside of Colombia I consider myself different than people from other regions. Thinking that people that speaks Spanish are all the same is as silly to think that white people from rural Texas are the same that black people from the Bronx.
Boooom!! Someone should deliver that thoughtful message to some snake oil salesmen called "political consultants" who seem to push for these ridiculous assumptions in ordered to be hired to help get that fictional block of votes.
Es verdad que tenemos muchas diferencias pero a la misma vez también tenemos muchas cosas en común. Esos lo que no hace Latinos. Latino significa que somos de Latino America, esos todo. Teniendo eso dicho, todo somos de Latino America. Y en una forma o otra, somos iguales en esos aspectos.

@@arlaux1099 I see what you mean. Tho immigration is very controversial
I am an Independent. I have conservative beliefs but I'm not going to act like a coconut like many of my fellow Mexican Americans who forget where they come from. I see that in some Mexican Americans. Once they become successful and have more than you they look down on you even though both of you struggled the same. This is why i hate discussing politics and even religion. I just look out for myself and my family. I grew up poor with a single mother but four main things she taught me were
1. Hardwork
2. Education
3. Helping others(even if they don't appreciate it)
4. Faith
I dont have a big house or have a Six Figure salary but I have a home and a job. Growing up poor you learn humility and to appreciate what you have,
Well said, I don't get how people praise political parties or even worse they make it their whole character.

Yeah but we also know that giving elites too much power is never good and that we want to preserve our culture.
Sorry to say, that kind of thinking is what's getting us to lose democracy, if you want to live in a fascist country vote republican. Sad to say but true.
Wouldn't you want a fair wage for your hard work? Wouldn't you want a safe work place? Because the GOP won't give you that.

@@rbu2136 I won't even talk about the arrogance of that statement but I identify with three dollar gas.
The shift happened but went the other way
As I understand the situation - no doubt I'm still oversimplifying. Cubans (esp in S. FL) tend to vote Republican. Mexican-Americans (esp in the SW) vote Democrat. Puerto Ricans (esp in NY) also lean heavily Democrat. Various Central American nations, I don't know. South American nations, I don't know.
Cubans had swim 90 miles in shark infested waters to escape what manifests from the current democrat platform. They're not going to vote for that idiocy after risking their lies to escape it. Mexicans and Ricans just love free stuff so they're all blue all day.
A guy I know from Mexico that brought his whole family here over the past 30 years HATES democrats. I didn't even know he felt that way until he told me "Obama not good" back when he was still president. I just don't like saying "this group is this, that group is that". People are so diverse that I don't like pigeonholing people into boxes. We are more unique than that.
The immigrants are here to replace us......fox has been preaching and you all don’t see it.

I'll never understand how polls and "reports" like this can view Latino voters as a monolith while analyzing trends.
The difference between men and women, income level, and local culture is almost always more correlated than race/ethnicity.
For example, "Latino women" voters are like +2 Dem while "Latino men" voters are like +15 Rep. Saying "Latino voters are shifting red" isn't really describing what is happening.
i would have guessed that the number of latina voters going dem would have been more than +2...might explain the shift
When I was seven years old, I read in the newspaper that "blacks were taking over". This was based on birth rate. There were other articles that said Blacks were more 10 times more likely to be in prison, 5 times more likely to die before the age of 5, and 10 times more likely to live in poverty. Latinos have similar statistics. The other thing is there's the association of Latino appointed and elected officials. If they were elected in large numbers, they wouldn't need to be appointed. Also, people talk in terms of say "Ted Cruz is the Latino Obama". If the Latino "block" was really effective, they would call Obama the "Ted Cruz" of the black community.
@@knoahbody69 I think my issue is with generalizations like "blacks are 10x more likely to be in prison" - I would argue it isn't because of skin color, it is because of poverty, destabilized family, etc.
Race is an easy correlation, but the issues are so abstracted so it rarely is a direct causation. The cause is more tangible to each person's experience - race will change the likelihood of having a top income, but it is the income level that is the relevant variable to look at.
I would say they justify it the same way they do for whites, blacks, etc.
A shift is a shift, it’s a mathematical statistical outlook on real numbers, the shift was seen in the video with evidence clearly being presented with colors. If that’s too hard for you to grasp then IDK man
As a Cuban we never liked the damocrats
Only white democrats ever talked about the “Latino vote”. The only Latinos who side with Democrats are those of Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage. EVERYONE ELSE has always leaned right. We all escaped socialist hellholes to come here; we don’t vote for the Democratic Party because we just had to escape the same rhetoric for our lives and livelihoods. Now that Mexican people make up a smaller share of the Latino population in the U.S. and with states on the border now doing a better job of cracking down on illegal voting of course the democrats are losing ground…
You guys make up such a small percentage of the overall Hispanic vote that it doesn't even really matter. The Mexicans and Puerto Ricans which make up the vast majority of the Hispanic demographic or the one shifting right which is why it's being talked about because they're the ones that swing States
Agree. Most Dominican Americans vi know vote republican
There isn't such thing as a socialist country in Latin America
The only countries that could be barely close to socialism are Cuba and maybe (Just maybe and being too exaggerated) Venezuela
But guess what?
Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina and similar are not socialist at all
Therefore they're not escaping socialist hellholes.
They're escaping neoliberal capitalist shitholes ;)
Finally, most hispanics in the U.S. are mexicans so their opinion and vote is more relevant
Other latinos only have more influence than mexicans in Florida and maybe in the Deep South
Im Puerto Rican and i will never vote blue. Maybe New yorincans do but i know for a fact that most Puerto Ricans line up more with the republican party beliefs
That's kind of not true. Even the lean right Latinos were pretty mixed in past elections. Even the Cuban vote was nearing 50/50 prior to the current shift.
They lost us when they stated to call us LatinX
I’m white and had no idea how disrespectful Latinx term really is. I saw Ted Cruz speak today and he explained that it’s either Latino or Latina, but Democrats decided it’s not woke and push their own woke genderless pronoun.
This is a very interesting well presented video. WSJ, please make more videos like this please!
That was such a good piece they wouldn't let Shelby put it on her own channel!
That is odd. Don't think I've seen this before except for one demographic. The shift of Southerners from democratic to republican in the 60s-early 80s.
In light of the recent TX-34 election, this video now holds even more true.
I voted republican for first time on Tuesday ( early voting ) I am sick of identity/ race/gender/ politics of the democrats. They are obsessed with race and gender.
Puerto Rican here…. Left a stressful, full of criminality, anger, vandalism Democrat city and moved to a conservative town. I don’t know about anyone else but I am not voting for a Democrat EVER AGAIN. Feels good to be surrounded by SANE hard working people.
Straight up. Voted dem since I was 18. I’m embarrassed I voted for Hussein once. I’ll never vote for Democrats again. Never.
They’ll deport you when the Republican Party has the chance they see you as nothing more than a token vote
I feel like sorting various ethnicities and backgrounds into black, latino, white, asian etc. is not a great idea for demographic analysis.
That's why being a Democrat is becoming more distasteful as they ONLY speak in identity politics. What did Biden say? "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black" quite concerning isn't it?
It's all about race now. You must be all about race now too in order to not be all about race.
Dont compare Asians (Indian, Chinese) immigrants with whites, blacks and latix lol. The Asians and Jews are the most sucessful
Im Hispanic but a die-hard Republican. Time to end the woke crazy democrat party
Since each census tract is roughly equal population this would have been a better presentation if they made all of the tracts look equal in size on the map.
I mean, I could be that after seeing economic prosperity under trump and then Biden ruining it all, that could be a reason for the shift
I can tell you guys why you're losing us, but you're not willing to listen. Can't wait to vote
I think a lot of us are uncomfortable with both parties. Hard to know what to do.
DEMOCRACY OR FASCIST...PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
@@ginahickman6864 Failed country or republican, that simple.
@@ginahickman6864 ok then i'll let the fascist win and then move overseas and let you deal with it.
I’m Latino and I’m voting red for the first time in the midterms. Economy and inflation.
Big question is if all those who went to vote after a long time/first time in the 2020 election will go voting again.
Gas right now is 5.50 food prices is up 30% inflation is going nuts democrats better be scared come November
@@jakehall3925 president doesn't control that take a seat. ..
@@mikejackson7881 Except that his policies and statements led to it. And those stupid policies financed the war in Ukraine, which made prices go even higher. It’s absolutely his fault.
@@mikejackson7881 true but the President in power will always get the blame. Trump got blamed for everything some that he had control of and other things that he didn’t have control of. Therefore it’s only fair that Biden gets the same treatment
@@mikejackson7881 But the average voters don't understand many things, and would still hurt him, even though it isn't his fault.
It’s quicker to say Wall Street Journal.
As a Mexican American from California It's mostly the older Latinos who are mostly shifting to the right while younger Latinos are very progressive but often don't vote :/
California is mostly progressive overall. The big guy in this deciding game is Texas.
That’s pretty similar to the Asian-American community. Like in SoCal, you see a lot of older Asian-American Republican candidates this year but the younger Asian-Americans are decidedly more progressive.
I voted 🗳 red I’m so tired of this democrats party
I'm Mexican-American that grew up in California. I turned 18 in 2020 and voted republican
Yeah California's so progressive they can't even figure our their own genders
I’m a 1st gen 22 y/o Mexican American college educated male here in Texas that’s always voted blue in hopes of flipping it but I won’t lie I voted for Trump in 20 and I’ll prob vote GOP in the midterms and in 24 unless the Dems get it together starting with the fake term “LatinX” and their pandering to the woke PC movement and focus on economy and bread and butter issues.
So, you like fascism....
The GOP will deport you
@@Atimatimukti el facismo me pela la verga and using your example by my guess you like communism and socialism
@@Atimatimukti Fascism is authoritarian socialism. Democrats are authoritarian socialists. The Democrat party are fascists like the National Socialist German Workers Party.
@@cristianjacome2042 are you mentally challenged??? If I vote is cause I’m a citizen you can’t deport a citizen but I do hope they deport all the ones that aren’t here legally
Can we please update our voting method to be ranked voting?! I don't want to vote for either of these parties but I have to vote against the party I dislike more. It's currently a lose-lose system
The voting system pulled a UA-cam & ditched the dislike button 🤣
Democratic party has become more woke than ever
what is woke? anything that threads the interest of our current overlords? Jezz I bet you want to go back to the 1950s
Woke-ness was such a bad strategy
@@everythingisfine9988 what is woke-ness? for your idol Ben Shapiro, a black woman with power is a woke statement. What is wokeness?

Im from south Texas, on the border. Most if not all of my friends have shifted right, keep in mind my buddies and I are often seen as “takuaches” to the other locals lol.
Welcome to the Familia!!!! 🇺🇸
Look up agenda 2030 “the great reset”
That should be enough for you & your friends to never vote democrat again.
“Walkaway Campaign” on YT also has hundreds of testimonials from people that use to be democrats but flipped to Republicans. Super cool short stories to hear.
Hey man. If I was Latino I’d be pretty annoyed if the Democrat party just saw me as an easy vote simply because I was a minority
welcome to politics
nice edition✨
Need a update on this!!
Most of my friends who are Latin are business owner's carpenters and builders interest rate hikes are going to hit housing and small businesses you mix high gas prices it will be disastrous for Hispanic communities...and it a disaster for all of us
Excited to vote Red for the very first time!
As a US a born Hispanic male that has never voted blue, but only conservative canadaites.
Either you are hispanic or you are an american who speaks spanish/has hispanic ancestry
You can't be both (Unless maybe you're from Puerto Rico)
@@yomilala8929 He can identify as whatever he wants. Take it from a steam shovel like me
Im hispanic, first generation and i voted blue back then but not anymore. Im actually right leaning and I know a lot of Hispanic who are also right leaning. It's all coming together >:)
same
DEMOCRACY OR FASCIST....SIMPLE
Sad!
Trump love Latinos......even when he was mentioning the Latino babies names which he could hardly do it......he was dancing at the end.
Yes Latinos if trump comes back he is going to send all of you to south of the border. After all he said you are all thieves, rapists, murderers and you think he changed his mind......hahaha
Same here alot if my family members and friends who are hispanic are voting red now. Its only a matter of time
Thank you to Latinos for voting down the use of racial preferences in college admissions in California. It will allow many Asians to go to college who would have been rejected based on race.
BS...ASIANS ARE NOT BEING REJECTEDTO GO TO COLLEGE
@@ginahickman6864 they are.. lol
@@ginahickman6864 Are you in the US? At most universities here, the policy is to make it very difficult for Asian American applicants to attend, even discriminating in favor of Whites, based on race.
@@investinghelps563 they have far higher acceptance rates.
@@ginahickman6864 Asians LITERALLY are discriminated against heavily for college admission (look at Harvard's policies, that happens at almost all colleges in America). Harvard actually had the gall to rank Asians as "low in personality" like that means anything. Funnily enough, the GOP campaigns against affirmative action that discriminates against Asians heavily, but Asians vote overwhelmingly Democrat. Do some research before making such dumb statements pls.
My grandparents are from Mexico! They would never support the trump and his racist administration. They taught me morals, standards and compassion to all. And my belief in God. Unlike trump who couldn’t recite one scripture from the Bible!! 🙄
Give me a proof that he's racist.
I really liked this thurough explanation about the political shift in Latinos.
The line of politics doesn’t go out from the middle to the left or to right. It goes in a circle. You go far enough left, eventually you’ll meet someone who has gone far enough right, each to get to the same place.
Peak blinders
The Hispanics are now called tacos. Use the language that the first lady of usa uses. Also known as joe biden's wife
Quite surprised magazine journalist went down to the US Mexican border to find that Hispanics living there didn't want unchecked immigration.. They definitely wanted a far more secure border. The disconnect some in the big city Democrats and these people are very pronounced. These people living near the border know that not everyone coming in isn't always a good nice person. No way. I met a man an ARMED Hispanic who patrolled area where US, Mexican and New Mexico met. He saved the life of my female friend. She was convinced she was going to get assaulted even killed there until he showed up. Some scoundrels came up on her.
Love how there's a hole in one of the states
In South Texas people run for county judge. The sad part in Hidalgo county is that they live in the more prosperous city of McAllen, yet the office is located in upper Mission which is more economically behind. They come to upper mission asking for our votes, but when you go see X judge to have a case against a speeding ticket or something else X judge is absent most of the time. You’ll see the secretary with everyone’s paperwork (so much for privacy). People vote for these judges EXPECTING them to work at their building which is located in upper Mission which is not as pretty and rich as McAllen and not show up.
Excellent program, thank you WSJ, very informative although very worrying.
People like my self… are seeing the light.. I’m a new republican… I’m Latino.,
Can we see what the major issues are for other Latino communities like in New Mexico, California, etc.
Beautiful. Por fin mi gente abren sus ojos
I’m Latino and always voted Blue never again
Uh, why?
@@elli6220 he doesn’t want to be us(blacks) ….keep voting but,getting nothing….they all say vote for us ….the others r r ac ists
👍
So that means you’ll vote libertarian?
If we become a swing voter our vote will become more valuable.
Awesome
Proud to be a Hispanic Republican 🇺🇸
🇪🇸
best of luck to you - but they will never accept you. You will always be different
Latinos see things different and we have power!
Don't vote blue, because there is nowhere else to run to now.
The Democratic Party is not focusing on the issues important to Latino people. This is why. The biggest focus is on abortion, LGBTQ issues, legalization of marijuana and corporate interests. Those are not at the top of our list. Education that is not going to put our children into debt, jobs that are not going to be shipped overseas just as we’re getting good at them, Healthcare that is not going to bankrupt us, a pathway to citizenship for ants, uncles, cousins and other relatives that are here and doing the best they can to live a good, clean, productive life. Put those at the top of the list, and you get our vote. We actively participate in the economy with the hard work for which we are famous and many of our children are in the military helping to defend this country. We do not come to the table as beggars and supplicants but, rather, as a people that have issues that need to be addressed that, incidentally, affect everybody regardless of their ethnic background.
The Republican Party is also not focusing issues for Hispanic people . The Republican Party has racist voters who are voting against the Hispanic community so republicans are not gonna do nothing for Hispanic.
An almost perfect comment!
Just one little remark
If someone is in the U.S. army or in the U.S. military then that person is not helping to defend the U.S.
That person is just helping to opress other countries
Excuse me but when has healthcare been done better by one party?
🤙🤙🤙
@@PershingOfficial Trump promised not to reduce the budget for medicare and madicaid, yet thats exactly what he did in his budget. So there is a clear answer. That and the fact that dems are the only ones at least proposing universal healthcare, something that is the standard for pretty much all 1st world countries.
Gen z Latina here last time I voted democrat was 2018
Latinx? I'm an American thank you very much
That's right

A two party system is bonkers. The United States is a wonderfully diverse country, with different peoples and regions having different needs and views. Why can't the unique groupings have their own say? From a Euro perspective, it can never be representative.
It’s the voting system of first past the post which encourages tactical voting. I doubt it will be changed as electoral reform is not high on the American agenda.
The democratic party wants a large federal government and weak states. The Republican party wants strong states and a smaller federal government. It's an argument that has persisted over the last 250 years. You'll notice whenever a democrat gets into office the US goes into a national emergency (this time economic), they are keeping power up there to pass laws with zero oversight. They expand NATO and pull from our social security to keep us in distress. Biden signed an executive order to increase medication cost his first week in office. Democratic voters don't understand the difference between the DNC and liberal policies, and their party remains unchecked. A good example is that the DoJ is targeting journalist who don't support the DNC agenda, democratic voters are arguing over abortion, and Republicans were removed from social media and politicians aren't covered on DNC funded media (CNN and MSNBC) to voice their concerns and Democrats don't watch c-span. So it isn't a 2 party system, it's really one. They don't care about equal representation in any way other than race, they want the Clinton administration to stay in office. If the Republicans got their way and federal power was lowered and regulations were put on the federal government, we would be a 50 state system instead of two party. Maybe instituting commonwealths, for a larger economy, if some states wanted socialism or a few larger programs i.e expanded medicare.
We are tired of identity politics now we are going to have identity parties. political parties should be about the diversity of thought and ideologies.

Wokeism and the Left’s inability to handle crime are my main issues with Democratic officials. I’m afraid parts of Florida will turn into Detroit or NYC, in the long run if we don’t enforce harsher punishments. Not to mention blue states’ push for economic equality but are more unequal than Florida.
