For context, Harris County was actually a better performance with Hispanic voters compared to many other Texas counties this year. Democrats lost the overall Hispanic Vote in the state.
Those voters are in the Find Out phase right now. Deporting immigrants and the rolling back of Equal opportunity employment fyi. Dummies

These people will never learn. You are NOT one of them. It takes at least $1B to join the club.

Out of control DEI in the workplace and media will do this

Good god the ability of people to vote so directly against their own interests astounds me

White people on reddit will call these people dumb for “voting against their interests” which is ironically pretty racist, instead of doing any self reflection. Maybe they know what they want more than you do?
When the party more dedicated to social issues is losing minority votes year after year, something is seriously wrong.

Not beautiful, and not only because the info is discouraging.
Having the percentages max out at 50 makes for a greater visual, but implies that the vast majority of Latino men voted for that guy, which isn’t the case.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to bundle people into ethnic groups and assume they will vote as one block.
A lot of people that pollsters label Latino think of themselves as white Americans.
Maybe there are better ways to consolidate voters.

It was never about policies, it was always about gender

Look there are certain groups of voters who will simply never vote for a woman. There’s nothing we can do to convince them.

These stats should alarm Democrats and make them rethink their messaging and strategy.
Without working-class minority voters as a reliable voting base, the Dems are fucked.

This could also be the result of potential harris voters just not showing up making the % for trump proportionally increase even if numbers stayed the same

Someone on Reddit claimed (in an argument with me) that there was no increase in minority support for Trump–it was just Elon rigging the voting machines.

So all you have to do to gain traction amongst any demographic is to be increasingly racist. Got it. Make this make sense.

I would read this less as POC migrating to Trump, and more as POC migrating away from failed Democrat policies that hold that POC are doomed to fail, explicitly because of the color of their skin, unless they have help from a benevolent government master. Any self-respecting person should reject that premise outright. Likely, this reflects the growing self confidence of POC to see a path to success that is unhindered by perceptions of race.

I posted something similar before and don’t mind the downvotes. I personally think that we give our general population too much credit for how willing they are to accept a female leader and an African American at that at this stage. There is a lot of deep rooted sexism and racism across the US and all of that trumps (no pun intended) any achievement or policy stances. I think this was also at the core of why Hilary lost acknowledging that she also made some significant strategic errors and blunders in her campaign. No one (few?) will admit it, but they will go to the voting booth and vote their values accordingly and a female president isn’t in scope for them. Would I like to see a female president in the US? Sure, as long as they are competent. But we need to stop trying to ignore the backwards ways still prevalent in this country and account for those voters when presenting a candidate.
