Last night, looked like Texas Hispanics are moving to GOP.
That nerd numbers guy on CNN has been practically orgasmic about it all morning.

Worse, the underlying racism in Texas is more geared to Latinos then Blacks.
Very sorry to say, but no matter your wealth, your position, your station, in Texas, a person with brown skin will always be a "wetback" to the white GOP ruling minority.
And frankly, CNN has devolved into FoxLite.

(11,800 posts)They say that most Hispanics are strongly anti choice and anti gay.
So they vote most on cultural issues and not economic ones.
Dont know how we fight that.

So if Dems are painted as the party being soft on illegal immigrants, it hurts us more than it helps with the population of Hispanic voters.

(4,040 posts)As with other communities, lip service to that nonsense often trumps the party that actually practices the ideals professed by the mythology in question.
Its hard to see the country as anything but doomed.

In south Texas, after mass murder, those that voted GQP are seriously having 2nd thoughts.
