That could just another example of, say, white auto workers in Detroit who tend to vote Democrat. I lived there for 14 years; white auto workers are very socially and culturally conservative. But they know which side of their bread's buttered.

Not a good example, Michigan went for Trump in 2016 and Bernie lost there

I didn't talk about Michigan. I talked specifically about Metro Detroit, and, yes, it is a good example. It's full of well-paid auto workers. White auto workers are typically very conservative socially, culturally, and fiscally. But they're also unionized, which is why they're well-paid. So they vote Democrat.

It's not any surprise that Michigan voted Trump, though, because it reflects the conservative nature of the state.

Hispanics are very very liberal on the coasts. Idk about Texas and the Midwest or Miami.

But in northeast and California/ Nevada? Liberal.

They are mostly liberal (both socially and fiscally) just about everywhere in the US. Latin America has a long history of supporting leftists, and most Latinos in the US are underclass + nonwhite which usually means strong support for left wing causes.

That "pro labor but socially conservative" Dem block doesn't exist anymore, it has faded away since 2000.

One thing about conservatives is they are against government help unless it's for them.
