Democrats losing Hispanic voters big time, per liberal Democrat author 😱
A liberal author who once touted the inevitability of a Democratic majority due to Hispanic population growth is now writing that the opposite may soon be the case. “Turning to the nature and size of recent Hispanic shifts against the Democrats,” Ruy Teixeira warned Democrats in a Thursday essay, “it’s not as bad as you think, it’s worse.”

The claim from Teixeira on December 9, 2021 was surprising because he is the co-author of the 2002 book “The Emerging Democratic Majority,” in which he argued that Democrats were heading for electoral dominance because Latinos could be relied upon to vote Democratic.
"Biden’s net approval rating among Hispanics was -12 (42 percent approval/54 percent disapproval), the latest in a string of poor approval ratings among Hispanics. Hispanics in the poll favor Republicans in Congress over Democrats on containing inflation and securing the border. They are strongly negative on the economy, with just 25 percent believing it is headed in the right direction, compared to 63 percent who believe it is headed in the wrong direction."
"Democrats have seriously erred by lumping Hispanics in with “people of color” and assuming they embraced the activism around racial issues... Latino voters evinced little sympathy with the more radical demands that came to be associated with the Black Lives Matter movement."
"Clearly, this constituency does not harbor particularly radical views on the nature of American society and its supposed intrinsic racism and white supremacy. They are instead a patriotic, upwardly mobile, working class group with quite practical and down to earth concerns. Democrats will either learn to focus on that or they will continue to lose ground among this vital group of voters."
