(THE HAYRIDE) – For as long as I can remember, being Latino meant that you voted Democrat. Of course, certain conditions dictated who voted Democrat and who voted Republican. For years, the GOP could rely on the Cuban vote, and later the Nicaraguan vote, and now the Venezuelan vote. Throughout the Southern belt, Latinos seem to favor the GOP, but throughout the rest of the nation, the Democrats fared well. All my life I’ve been around Latinos, from the Chicanos out west, to Latin American countries, and the immigrants that are here. I can’t speak for every Latino, but I can speak from a well-versed perspective. There’s a lot to unpack here so for brevity I’m going to link to definitions and use words as if you already understand. These are reasons why Latinos are leaving the Democrat party.
Latin X – This movement is popular in white progressive circles, but it declares that the person insisting on using it knows nothing of the Latin culture or of the Spanish language. X- pronounced “Eh Kees” is supposed to end all words that end with an A or an O, for what? To remove the gender of the word? Do they know how many words end with an A or an O? Not every word has a gender, such as Edificio (Building) or Oficina (office). And what if I want a Taco? Am I supposed to say Dos Tac-equis? And do I complain when I get two tequilas and a Dos Equis? The language is fine and it doesn’t need some self-absorbed white progressive liberal who doesn’t even speak the language, much less never travelled to a Latin American country, to come change it. While this isn’t the biggest issue, it does indicate that Democrats don’t respect Latinos, enough that Latinos to say “Vete al Diablo”. In the end, it’s not a deal breaker, but it’s enough of a disconnect to cause problems. If some foreigner who doesn’t speak English suddenly demanded you change the English language, would you be warm to the idea?
Socialism – In many Latin American countries, there is two main ideologies- Democracy and Socialism. If you’re a capitalist, you voted Democrat, if you are Socialist, you voted Socialist. For many Latinos, voting Democrat was identifying as a capitalist and the Republican party was… well what was it? Socialist? But now the Democrats have openly declared themself as the Socialist Party and many Latinos who once voted for Democrats because they thought they were voting for capitalism now recognize the Democrat party as the home of Socialism. It cannot be reiterated enough, Latinos hate Socialism because they already lived through it, White progressives love Socialism because they never have.
Gender – Latinos not only are NOT ashamed of their genders, they’re proud of their gender. Women are proud women and love to be beautiful. Men are very macho and are very proud of that. The entire binary, 3,425 different genders is lost on the Latino community. Yes, there are gay people throughout Latin America, but this isn’t about being accepting of homosexuality, it’s about accepting the Latino culture. Women are women, and men are men. White Liberals can’t accept that and continue to force their ideology onto a culture, that again, they know little about.
Military – This may surprise you, but Latinos tend to be pro-military, especially American born Latinos. For a lot of Latinos, the military has been an opportunity for a better way of life and it accomplishes that end. Many Latinos who did not have American citizenship have joined the armed forces, served, and became a U.S. Citizen. This doesn’t mean that Latinos who served support every war, but there’s a respect for the military throughout the Latin American community.
Work Ethic – Latinos aren’t interested in staying home, they are interested in going out and working. What most Latinos want in America is the opportunity, they want to work hard and earn what they’ve got. They want to look at the treasures that fill the house and say, I worked for that, I accomplished that. It’s a pride thing. It’s a huge mistake for Democrats to look down at Latinos as if our daily goal is to watch Novelas all day waiting on a hand-out. The extended lock-downs by the Democrat officials is keeping many Latinos from living their lives and achieving their dreams.
