The above illustrates that the divide in our country is not racial or cultural, or even political. The divide is between people who want to LIVE their lives, vs people who only want to TALK about their lives. It has ever been the great unifying dream of all Americans to work, prosper, control their lives, and thrive in a fertile economy and in safe environments. This is not about whether a person is Democrat or Republican.
When people work hard to establish their independence, to build a business and a clientele, to educate their children and enjoy all the great blessings that living in America provides, they do not want their gains threatened. That applies to all people, not only Hispanics. This is not a "white man's dream", it is everyone's dream.
It's almost as if legal citizens OPPOSE illegals dodging the law they (LEGAL IMMIGRANTS) followed. Go figure...
This got me curious. So I pulled up 3 YouGov polls to see what they had on Hispanics. The first was 25 Jan 2017 right after Trump took office. Question 34. It showed Hispanic job approval of Trump at 32% approve, 36% disapprove, 31% not sure. http://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/pyonz5d0lq/econTabReport.pdf The next was two months ago, 8 May 2018. It showed among Hispanics a 41% approval, 46% disapproval and 13% unsure. Question 62. https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/kwgrow0dna/econTabReport.pdf The last one was the 28 June 2018 poll, YouGov latest one. It shows among Hispanics a 33% approval, 51% disapproval and 16% not sure. Question 71. https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/9gtye70ttc/econTabReport.pdf No doubt about Trump improving since he was inaugurated among Hispanics from 32% to 41% by 8 May 2018, but over the last two months he has fallen back to 33%. Basically no change from inauguration day figures. So what about blacks, same question, same polls. 25 Jan 2017 Blacks only 13% approve, 53% disapprove and 33% not sure 8 May 2018 23% approve, 57% disapprove and 18% not sure 28 June 2018 10% approve, 68% disapprove and 21% not sure Among blacks we see the same pattern. Trump improving from inauguration day through 8 May 2018 and then falling back among black to be worst off than on inauguration day. Does this pattern follow among whites, again same question, same polls. 25 Jan 2017 Whites only 48% approve, 30% disapprove, 22% not sure 8 May 2018 47% approve, 43% disapprove, 10% not sure 28 June 2018 45% approve, 47% disapprove, 7% not sure. Trump's approval rating among whites fell ever so slightly, his disapproval rose from 30% to 47% as the not sure's joined the disapproval ranks. Although among blacks, Trump's approval rating improved 10 points from inauguration day to 8 May 2018, it fell 13 points to today. His disapproval rating rose 4 points while Trump was increasing his approval rating among black 10 points, then his disapproval rating jumped 11 more points to 68% disapproval. Trump's disapproval among Hispanics rose from 36% on inauguration day to 46% on 8 May 2018 to 51% today. Among all races Trump started out with a much lower disapproval rating than he has today. I realize Trump's approval/disapproval rating is dynamic and changes all the time. What his approval rating is today in my opinion means little, Come November, it will mean a lot as folks go vote in the midterms. But if the trend continues as it has over the last two months, that isn't a good omen. Better the midterms were held in May than November. But we'll see.
Where are all the "trump hates brown people" race baiting trolls? Do race baiters call mexicans who escape their plantations uncle Jose's?
In other words, just the Hispanics that were ask gave an opinion not the whole population of Hispanics in the USA...With such a small demographic representation outcomes can be manipulated, but thanks for letting us know that you need Hispanics to like Trump because that is what is imp[ortant in day to day life in a rich nation...
They don't vote for folks that settle MS-13 into their neighborhoods so they can gang-rape their daughters before they dismember them with machetes. The Left is pushing open borders and screaming for abolishing ICE while MS-13 is on this rape/murder spree through our schools. Illegal Immigrants, Palestinian Refugees, and Their Liberal Cheerleaders: The Startling Similarities Innocent people are used as pawns in order to further dangerous agendas intended to keep the bad guys in power
Who settles the gangs in the first place? MS-13 formed in Los Angeles in 1980.Derp There is no open border because it is all under surveillance.. I have been an advocate of anti-illegals since before Reagan gave them amnesty and Bush sr gave them chain migration, those damn liberals.
The radicalized Democratic Party is heading for a major crackup. The trend started with the rise of the Tea Party (2009), followed by the Democrat loss of the House (2010) and the Senate (2014) and then Donald Trump's stunning election in 2016. At each stage of this progression, left-wingers have dialed up their hysteria, their lies, their hate, and even their violence. Now it is reaching a fever pitch. But it has been to no avail. Indeed, all the rage has been, if anything, counterproductive. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/07/the_coming_democratic_crackup.html#ixzz5KJ2Myllf
Ask the folks that were shrieking on election night. So what might be the dominant mood of the run-of-the-mill Democratic voter? It is one of depression and a feeling of hopelessness. They've seen their side throw absolutely everything at the conservative resurgence and President Trump in particular and watched as one event after another went against them. Even the media, with their fake news stories and skewed polls, can't snap liberals out of their funk. The party's only option seems to be doubling down on the losing hand it has been playing. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/07/the_coming_democratic_crackup.html#ixzz5KJ54UJMx
Hispanic citizens and citizen-hopefuls don't like line-cutting illegals either. Progressive leftist elites have put all their eggs into the open-borders/sanctuary city basket, and in the process, pissed off legal immigrants, blacks, and an increasing number of white working class Democrats.
At 42% popularity and considering the fact that Trump won with 170,000 majority of the votes in 5 states - two of them with less than +0.3% - it is inconceivable that he would lose the next election. Trump 2020!
But the Democrats have not been able to ban Russia from Facebook. The Russians can still buy ads on the "internet". For a million dollars they can sink a billion- dollar Democrats campaign.
The Russians are much less effective than the electoral system. As long as it remains in place, the minority can hope to elect a Republican President.
I also blame Reagan for not halting activity that was escalating even prior to his administration. He should never have uttered the words, "amnesty". It opened the flood-gates. Judge a president by his deeds: Bush clearly supported open borders. You are old fashioned in thinking this is a Dem vs Rep thing, although party leaders are confused about their own platforms. Trump has broken free of republicans to clearly define his goals, just as the socialists have broken free of the dems to define their communist leanings. It's a new dynamic: national preservationists (more conservative) vs global totalitarians (more radically left).
No, most folks in the US are aware of what propaganda is because now there is social networking whereas before it was by word of mouth.
It was by no means less than spectacular when Reagan won by a landslide which Trump failed to do. But then again look at the low caliber of opponent he had.
I can see lines being drawn between the old guard and the new electorate but it is no more cracked than the GOP conservative and liberal wings.
minority? leftists comprise about 20-22% of the electorate. The only reason leftists ever win elections is because they outright buy them with promises of more other-people-financed free stuff, or have convinced a sizable cohort of dull-eyed useful idiots that ebil oppressors have made it their life's work to systematically victimize them, and that voting Democrat will 'put an end to it'. vote for us or "they gonna put y'all back in chains!"
