Not a great sign for the Texas is turning Blue crowd. (Hispanics, ethnic)

Many US Hispanics don't even know about the term but those that do mostly despise it. Pretty sure only young university students embrace the term and I would venture to say most of those Hispanic kids don't know more than 10 words in Spanish.

Congrats to Mexican born American Mayra Flores on the victory, a first. I would've thought the first would have come from California and be a democrat!

LULAC already decried the use of LatinX but nobody listens to them. The main stream media will continue to push its agenda.

But we can.

Let me start off by saying what my theory is: were trying to make this about Hispanics and non-Hispanics. In reality, that is limiting the discussion. This is a trend that goes across ALL groups. Trump embraced populism. That is a concept that Democrats in the Rust Belt usually clung to. You can look at people like Sherrod Brown or Joe Manchin. Bill Clinton was also a populist to a degree. Their views on economics arent a hell of a lot different that Trumps. But populism isnt popular in big cities or suburbs with only a few exceptions.

I actually agree with DabEmOn that one of the problems Dems have is that they are way the hell out of touch with a large part of what used to be their base: the blue collar of any race. As the GOP has drifted towards populism, Dems have drifted a lot more towards theory which is very popular among the college educated and the poor but very unpopular among people from smaller communities and rural areas. The college educated in the poor congregate in big cities.

So that is my theory. None of that is race specific.

Here is the data supporting it where big city Texas Hispanics are concerned. We can look at several counties of the big cities. Im leaving Travis county out simply because its dark blue and the bulk of its growth comes from white residents.

Population Growth by County between 2010-2020 by race/ethnicity:

Harris
Hispanic: 453,431
Black: 126,574
Asian: 86,085
White: -1,348

Dallas
Hispanic: 194,918
Black: 128,307
Asian: 77,441
White: -53,519

Tarrant
Hispanic: 154,876
Black: 89,998
Asian: 36,418
White: 23,541

Bexar
Hispanic: 238,736
Black: 25,402
White: 22,707
Asian: 21,380

El Paso
Hispanic: 58,910
Black: 4,104
Asian: 1,703
White: -5,928

We can see that Hispanics are, are overwhelmingly the bulk of the big city counties in Texas. So if big city Hispanics were shifting right in significant number, it would reflect in the county numbers. But they dont. Below are the trends from the last 4 presidential elections. The numbers will reflect the percentage of votes the Democratic candidate got:

Harris
2008: 50.54%
2012: 49.39%
2016: 53.95%
2020: 55.96%

Dallas
2008: 57.15%
2012: 56.99%
2016: 60.22%
2020: 64.89%

Tarrant
2008: 43.73%
2012: 41.43%
2016: 43.14%
2020: 49.31%

Bexar
2008: 52.23%
2012: 51.46%
2016: 53.74%
2020: 58.20%

El Paso
2008: 65.73%
2012: 65.40%
2016: 68.47%
2020: 66.66%

This does prove that Hispanics in big cities are not shifting red in significant numbers. That doesnt mean that some areas arent bucking that trend like Baytown in East Harris County where Hispanics are going right, but that are is more comparable to the Valley where the jobs are blue collar and oil and gas puts bread on the table. But no, overall big city Hispanics are not shifting right in large numbers. But again this is not specific to race. All races are pretty well following this trend. An exception would be South Florida.

"I hope the DCCC learns their lesson with this before it happens across the country," said Democrat Vicente Gonzalez, before pointing to the bigger issue for Democrats. "They have just forgotten about the brown people on the border… I’m not going to try to sugarcoat it anymore," Gonzalez said. "They are taking Latinos in South Texas for granted."

Whoever came up with the term "Latinx" knows nothing about latin/hispanic culture
Notice that Latinx only received 4% of the votes

It was pandering woke white people.

^^ It's not pandering to Latinos though, it's pandering to the young LGBTQ crowd. It's similar to how BLM (the organization) has lots of LGBTQ undertones at its leadership that many black males just can't get behind.

Same ones that came up with "Native American"


I know a few Indians and they hate that term....they prefer to call themselves Indians or American Indians and laugh at this white made up term.

This one I disagree with because I know many and they love calling themselves "Natives" because they were first.

All the American Indian people I know refer to themselves as "Native."

Even though there are definitely partisan loudmouths and soapbox ranters in the state, many in the state have better things to focus on than politicks / politicians. They aren't going to be pulled into the circus of nonsense.

Life your life and liberties, this one time and round we have. Don't waste it on stupidity that can't be rescued. All the babbling over politics will be meaningless on the day you leave this earth.
