It's my experience working along side many people of hispanic heritage that the majority of these folks seem to be socially modeate to conservative. Many are religious, and they have a proud streak that MAY be strong to a fault but, but they work hard and do not buy into the alphabet populations deviancy, or the invasion of illegals crossing our southern border. These folks want good jobs not handouts. Then, demanding employers pay 30 and 40 thousand dollars a year for jobs that require zero skills and training is not creating good jobs. That does just the opposite and some people are waking up to that fact. That just runs up costs and the jobs that do pay 50,000 a year now must pay 70,000 for the skilled workers to keep pace.For years Democrats have been crowing about how the browning of America will ultimately secure them a permanent majority in governing the country and in those conversations, for years I've warned that only holds true assuming voting patterns don't change. The Democratic Party has long been taking minority voters for granted. They pander to them at election time with divisive racial politics and once they've won the election they forget about them for another four years, but if the last couple of election cycles are any indication, the chickens may finally be coming home to roost with Hispanic voters.
There has been a visible shift among Hispanic voters from the Democratic to Republican party over the past few years and southern Texas has been the most prevalent area we've seen this. In the 2020 election there were border counties that have voted overwhelmingly Democratic for 100 years that flipped red. Hispanic Republicans have been winning mayoral races in Democratic towns and have been slowly flipping long time Democratic legislative seats. The Republicans did exceptionally well in southern Florida last year, including winning a Congressional seat in downtown Miami. Even voters in heavily concentrated Hispanic Congressional districts in New York City gave Trump more votes than they have past Republican presidential candidates. Trump increased his percentage with Hispanic voters in both elections and most recently Glenn Youngkin won 55% of Hispanic voters in the gubernatorial race, which was ultimately responsible for his win.
It seems the "wokeness" and "defund the police" campaigns of the Democratic elite haven't exactly played well in the Hispanic community and many of them are feeling they may have hitched themselves to the wrong wagon. If this phenomenon starts spreading throughout the country states like Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado could start moving back to the red zone and ultimately even California could become more competitive at some levels at some government. What remains to be seen is whether or not this is a temporary blip or a long term trend.
In Virginia, Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated Clintonista Democrat Terry McAuliffe for governor. Youngkin ran on school choice, an issue dear to Latinos who understand that education is the key to prosperity and the middle class. A survey by AP VoteCast showed that black voters supported McAuliffe by nearly 8-to-1. Latino voters, on the other hand, appear to have favored Youngkin, who received 55 percent of the Hispanic vote, compared to only 43 percent supporting McAuliffe. If Latinos had voted in the same pattern as other minority voters, it would have guaranteed a Democratic victory. They didn’t, which does not portend well for the future of the Democratic Party, since President Joe Biden won Virginia by 10 percentage points a year earlier.
So did Latinos leave the Democratic party, or did the Democratic party leave them?

Recent electoral trends indicate significant problems for the Democrat base.americanmind.org
This does two things, it causes inflation to skyrocket and returns us into the economic and social morass of the 70s and early 80's and it drives what few jobs we have left over to slave wage nations in Asia. The socialists who have stolen the Democratic party from blue collar America don't get it and they never will.
