I love Miami Cubans and they’re probably the best major post-65 group on average but I still don’t exactly want to live in Hialeah where English is a second language. If you’re a white Republican I think you’d rather fit in better in New Hampshire than Miami-Dade is all I’m saying…..

Assimilated Hispanics are fine but if you keep bringing the whole world here that won’t happen. 1924 Immigration Act happened for a reason.

Interesting thesis. Not sure if there’s much weight here to divergent ethnic groups appearing because of political differences though.

Demographics is still is destiny and always will be. Whites are the only demographic who voted majority GOP. There is no state with a minority white population that votes GOP in presidential elections. Only time will tell if Texas will defy those odds.

Remember that Tucker lives in one of the top 4 whitest states in America. I guarantee Ken Paxton lives in a neighborhood that is 85-90% white with any non-whites being affluent and NOT members of the violent black and brown underclass. If those two truly believed that race doesn't matter I don't think they would be so selective with their personal living environments.

I think the uptick in Hispanic support can most likely be explained by radical woke ideology, the flagging economy, high inflation and even mass illegal immigration such that they were voting against the Democrats more than for the Republicans. The average Hispanic seems to have much more common sense than the average college educated white Democrat.

Plus, the Democrats have become so stridently pro-black that that probably alienated some Hispanics who would otherwise vote Democrat.
