Belonging To The Democrat Party

How Asian Americans Became Democrats

As a force at the ballot box, Asian Americans caught the media’s attention in 2012, when exit polls showed that they supported Barack Obama with 73 percent of their votes, a level exceeded only by African Americans. That year, Obama also won a big majority of Latinos, but his strong showing among Asian Americans was a much bigger surprise. In 1992, the majority of Asian Americans had voted for George H.W. Bush, creating the impression that as an upwardly mobile and affluent group, they would continue to vote Republican. But 20 years later, in an astounding shift, Asian Americans moved 40 points toward the Democrats in presidential elections. Since they’re also the fastest growing racial group in the United States, the change has major implications for the future of American politics.

While the attention to Asian Americans in 2012 was long overdue, much of the commentary was short-sighted and misleading. By that year, the high level of Asian American support for Democrats should not have come as a surprise; a leftward shift had been building from one election cycle to the next. Some pundits also misread the sources of the change. In 1992, writing in The Washington Post, Stanley Karnow had claimed that Asian immigrants were more likely to identify as Republican because they valued individual responsibility and free enterprise and many of them had fled communist countries. In 2012, New York Times columnist David Brooks claimed that Asian Americans voted Democratic because they came from cultures that do not put a high value on individualism and instead approve government intervention. If cultural values can be used to explain both voting Republican and voting Democratic, they may not explain either one very well. The actions of parties and political leaders over the past two decades provide a far better explanation for the politics of Asian Americans today than do the disparate cultural traditions that immigrants have brought with them.

To understand the shifting political allegiances of Asian Americans, we need to look closely at the evidence of their political attitudes and behavior.

How Asian Americans Became Democrats

I think tearing down Confederate monuments or being offended by a Confederate battle flag is one of the dumbest things the left has ever done,

Because they don’t know who these Confederates were. They were good men. Literate, loyal, God-fearing.

The attack is not on the individuals but the concept they supported. Racism in the South was a way of life. Blacks were widely accepted as inferior beings, unfit for any life other than that of a slave. If you were taught this from early childhood in a society that accepts this as fact, then you would likely accept this way of life and defend it.

Strange as it seems, most Blacks also accepted this concept. They were told generation after generation that there place was that of a slave. If they worked hard they would be cared for, fed, housed and protected. They were told they were unfit for life in the White man's world, unable to compete. Much of this belief still exist today among Blacks.

No…not a member of that party…..being owned by it.


Don’t forget….that was the avocation, owning folks, of the Democrats before the Republicans pried their other slaves away from them.



1.The central belief of the Democrats, and of all iterations of the Left, is that only the state, the collective has rights. Having no rights makes one a slave to the state. . There are no ‘checks and balances’ for Progressives….government is king, czar, the ‘man of steel, Stalin’….it’s why Leftists call their candidates god, Jesus, the messiah.

2. If there is no individual with rights, there are no intellectual possessions, no free speech, no freedom of conscience. Only the state, the government, the society as a whole, has ownership of anything and of everything….which is why private property is erased under Leftist regimes, whether outright or via regulation and statute.




3. “In the Soviet Union, ‘society’ claimed ownership of the individual: People wishing to emigrate were denied permission on the ground that they would be taking away education that had been provided by the state. Because the education could not be left behind, the individual could not be allowed to disassociate from society. In effect, the individual could not be distinguished from society. This is where the attack on individualism leads.”
George Will, “The Conservative Sensibility,” p.336.





4. No one should be shocked that the same view prevails in a government whose leader envied Joseph Stalin:

The attitude of the FDR government can be seen in these words of A.B. “Happy” Chandler, a former Kentucky governor: “[A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we have—and that is the basis of obligation—and the government can take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future.”
From a speech delivered on the Senate floor

One can't be surprised that the primacy of the Constitution ended with the 32nd President.



5. You might recall the most recent socialist-in-charge explaining that very same Soviet doctrine:

“…if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own….It must be because I worked harder han everybody else….If you’ve got a business- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Obama, Roanoke, Va. 2012

6. Actually, Obama was copying another socialist:

“There Is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to the market on roads the rest of us paid for….You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea- God bless, keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is that you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who is coming along.” Elizabeth Warren, 2011



In each case we hear the echo of the Progressive attack on individualism; it is the collectivist political agenda.
Welcome to the Democrat Party, comrade.

Since you're obviously not a democrat, exactly how have you determined what over 50 million people believe. The fact is democrats just like republicans do not all believe the same thing. They range from raving politically maniac to those that share nothing in common accept support for a single issue.

Simple, you simpleton......politics in America is binary.

One votes for the party that best reflects their views.

Over 60 million decided that the views of the Democrat Party are those they can agree with:

The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism, socialism, infanticide, opposition to free speech, substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry, and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.



Oh....and one more thing: I'm never wrong.

Yes, one does vote the party that best reflects their views. However, for most people there is one overriding issue which might be abolishing abortion or upholding 2nd amendment rights. Such a voter will likely vote republican even though thou they have no interest in the immigration issue and may even support Medicare for all. Another voter may support help for those with huge college loans but have little interest in social welfare programs.

Creating stereotypes of those that vote left or right is just plain stupid because American voters are individuals that support or oppose issues independently of the party they support.

"...for most people there is one overriding issue..."

So which of these is your one overriding issue?

Welcome to the Democrat Party, comrade.

Slavery existed for 187 years before there was a democratic party. Meanwhile the republican and democratic parties excluded Asians from coming here.

Good to see you came back to answer the question I asked you earlier....



With respect to the education gap, how is it that 'racism' is responsible for these areas in which black students fall short when compared to white and Asian students:

The number of days absent from school

The number of hours spent watching TV

The number of pages read for homework

Quantity and quality of reading material in the home

The presence of two parents in the home.




How does 'racism' explain these ...deficiencies????




Now don't run off and hide like a little girly-man.....
