Why did Latino Texas votes shift so sharply to Trump from 4 years ago? (San Antonio: crimes, public schools)

[Westerner92]

Evangelical values have been working their way into American Catholicism for awhile now, which could be one factor in the shift.

It's not that hard to fill out multiple ballots. And you can't stop dead people from filling them out either. Courts may still have a say too. It's not out of realm of possibility. Communists are pros when it comes to rigging elections.

All those last minute mail in ballots going totally lopsided is too extreme. No bell curve or logical distribution at all. very suspect.

Literally every elections analyst predicted it would be that way weeks before the election. Not because of fraud, because Republicans were more likely to vote in person and Democrats more likely by mail. A big reason is the virus based on the narratives both parties pushed.

So no, the election wasn’t rigged. The nation just got sick of Trumps crap.

I'm not really surprised at all, South Texas is very consery and racist/unwelcoming to immigrants from the valley to corpus to San Antonio.

I don't know about San Antonio being conservative, racist, or unwelcoming to immigrants but you may be right about the rest of south Texas.

(other than Mexican immigrants of course)

70 million+ votes for the President doesn't spell that the nation is sick of Trump for me.

75 million voting against sounds like the national is

I'll share my views which may account for some. My parents are both first generation Americans from different places in south of the border. I was born south of the border. We're all legal immigrants. During his first campaign, I hated Trump. I was listening to what the media was saying and believed every word of it. I did not vote for him the first time. Once elected, I decided to hear him out. I listened to what he said from watching his comments directly (not filtered by the msm), and how they related to his actions. I looked to see what the immediate results of his policies were. I started to notice some discrepancies between the way he was portrayed and what he was saying and doing. This became increasingly apparent over the last three to four years as the media gave away any semblance of having an objective approach to reporting. I get it, the guy is not very likeable and his self aggrandizement can be annoying, but he's actions and policies were on point.

Then came the democratic primaries, people were openly calling themselves socialists, or whatever socialist light labeling they used. Beto (a Texan) saying he's going to take away guns. Then, came the "peaceful protests" (riots and looting), and calls for defunding the police. These are all things many of us with immigrant roots came to escape. I listened as my dad told me how things were falling apart for my family in Venezuela due to socialist policies; rampant crime and insecurity, the slow destruction of my grandfathers small family business. I see how in Mexico my law abiding family members cannot legally possess a firearm, but are held hostage to insecurity from corrupt armed police/politicians and the cartel gangs, with no way to defend themselves. Only the rich can afford security. My concerns about Trump's foreign policy diminished by the fact his administration literally brought peace to the middle east through historic agreements between Israel and its neighbors among other things. During my brief stint as a business owner, I saw how the regulatory environment can make it difficult for your average person to make a living without having to be an employee, and how it favors big business. By election day, the choice was clear for me; Trump.

Having said all this, my father and I went to vote together and (knowingly) cancelled each others votes out. My mom won't tell me who she voted for (she never does).

If South Texas is conservative then why is it dominated by Democrats? We'll see in 2022 if the GOP can have more local success there.

Because being a conservative is more than just being a Republican.

The question is why do they vote Democrat if they are conservative? The main answer I think is because the Democrats have framed the Republicans as a racist party. that doesn't like non whites. The other major reasons are because of immigration and economic policy. In most of the world, being conservative has nothing to do with being capitalist. It is only the case in America because America was founded on laissez faire capitalism, so the default conservative position in America is to be one. You can be conservative without being capitalist. Mexicans in south Texas are typically socially conservative and fiscally socialist/big government/pro welfare spending. This is just a generalization, the ones that voted for Trump are probably more pro capitalist, or they care more about social conservatism than being pro-government spending.
