Hispanics will outnumbers Whites in Texas by 2022
- Thread starter Lunar Wolf
- Start date
Or just keep counting on people voting against their own interests
Implying they aren't doing that already? Last I checked, Texas has the most harsh of all voter I.D. laws in the U.S.
And due to gerrymandering they won't have the votes be represented as a majority until probably 2032 :/
Have you heard about this man called Donald Trump and his rocket speed climb to lead the Republican party?
I wish more hispanics would be a good thing for Dems but they (us) aren't a reliable voting block. I mean sure they will most likely vote Dem but from personal experience, GOP have done some ways to brainwash them and feed them the "one of us" koolaid plus the fact some of us have the "F you got mine" mentality and a conservative view as well.
Wish I didnt think this way but even if we become a large voting block, its not going to mean states will be progressive. I really hope im proven wrong and Dems get most of our future votes.

28% is not a lot but it's certainly more than black voters vote for Trump.
Ah, I thought it was a higher number.
Still higher than it should be considering the policies that hurt them and their families...
There's quite a few that already do that. My wife is half Mexican, and some of her Mexican relatives are conservative and harsh on immigration. There's this weird feud between Mexican nationals vs their Mexican American cousins, basically rooted in resentments for leaving Mexico. When I see them sharing vile stuff against immigration and pro Trump it doesn't bother me as much because I know it's not rooted in racism.
Wasn't there something about even with white voters dwindling that they still would hold power? Im assuming because hispanics and other minorities (majorities then) will vote against their interests?

I was looking at data on hispanic/latino population sizes across the country yesterday and knew this was happening, but it's moving even faster than I thought. This country will be a totally different place ethnically/racially even by 2030. I can't begin to imagine what it'll be like by 2050. Republican politics is going to go through some weird phases between now and then. That much is for sure.
Maybe like 30% of us.
I mean, not all Hispanics are Mexican immigrants who are/have family that are illegal. Or Mexican period. They can be Puerto Rican, Cuban, etc.
Haha, Ted Cruz are one of those guys who adopt race out of convenience.
Last name Cruz, loves being white and talking shit about Latinos. But when it's time to whip votes, dances around about his Hispanic background.
Don't fall for those types of people's song and dance.
Some hispanics vote against their interests. I mean look at all the stories of husbands or wives being deported that voted for Trump.
I'm salivating over the thought of a blue Texas and that someday in the next 14 years or so Republicans won't be able to win the presidency and they will have fewer senators backing the party. I know it'll be tough still because of voter id laws and rampant gerrymandering, but their days are numbered and they know it. Get out and vote this election and in 2020.
I can definitely see culturally reclassifying it to include white hispanics as they become more affluent on average. Most Hispanics in Mexico are already multiracial with a lot of iberian and French ancestory, and if you combine that with another white parent visually they look very white.
White has been a moving definition. Not too long ago Irish, Jewish, and others weren't white.
I know someone who within the last 2 years became US citizen and first chance she goes and votes for Tramp. She is Salvadorian, white and is married to a white dude. I don't give a shit but im sure she was influence by her partner or her upbringing next to a certain crowd.
When she told me this she said she wanted "something new" or some shit. Well I wanted to yell at her that she just fkd a bunch of people but I mean its her vote. I wonder what she things of the TPS thing being revoked from Salvies now. She seems like she grew up here in the US but it kills me these people exist. Mofo you were given a chance and now vote to make people miserable like you? Maddening....
Welcome to the honorary whiteness table, Latinos! The Irish and the Italians saved a seat for you.
P.S. pls text the East Asians number if you have it, we probably still won't invite them but it's good to cover our bases.

Cubans.
He's a Canadian-Hispanic.
No. Because they're younger than 18 and some of them aren't legally able to vote.
I mean, Ted isn't even his actual first name, it's his middle name. His real first name is Rafael.
They'll probably survive. The blowback from Trump is going to be huge, and it's going to take 8 to 12 years of rebranding to be competitive again. Their current platforms base is old and shrinking.

Which is sad since Rafael is a badass name and Ted is this most milk-toast name ever.
It'd be more interesting to see, say, the percentage of Mexicans or Central Americans that vote for Trump. Because Hispanic or latino are such broad categories and you can be any race and still be Hispanic or Latino. The fact that 28% of hispanics vote for trump doesn't surprise me because a lot of them are very light skinned and consider themselves "different" than their darker skinned counterparts.

Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and Florida are next after Texas.
California and New Mexico are the only two states atm where Latinos outnumber the white population.
