Properly Subversive: Democrats don’t own Nevada Hispanic voters

Sherman R. Frederick/Correctly Subversive

Nevada is Nevada and Texas is Texas. All the time was; at all times shall be. 

However in 2022 might I recommend a tiny hyperlink between the 2 states: The awakening of Hispanic voters. 

Contemplate Mayra Flores, who gained a particular election within the thirty fourth Congressional District in Texas. In a historically Democratic stronghold, did she run on gender identification? Did she hit the stump telling individuals concerning the significance of important race idea and open borders? 

Don’t be foolish.

She ran on the platform of “God, household and nation.” Shockingly, she ran as a dreaded Republican. 

She gained. 

Massive.

Democratic strategists who’ve been watching Hispanics peel off from the Democratic Occasion lately say this isn’t a one-time anomaly. 

“Clearly, this constituency doesn’t harbor significantly radical views on the character of American society and its supposed intrinsic racism and white supremacy,” wrote Democratic strategist Ruy Teixeria final 12 months. “They’re as an alternative a patriotic, upwardly cellular, working class group with fairly sensible and all the way down to earth considerations. Democrats will both study to give attention to that or they may proceed to lose floor amongst this very important group of voters.”

I  assume we’re seeing that in Nevada, fueled by the awful economic system, brutal inflation and kooky woke Democratic concepts. Look, I’m not saying that Nevada Republicans like Joe Lombardo and Adam Laxalt will routinely profit from this shift in pondering. A little bit consideration that avoids the Democrat mistake of taking Nevada Hispanic voters without any consideration might prepared the ground to a sea change within the state. 

In 2022, simply because Joe Biden embraces Steve Sisolak doesn’t earn you something within the Nevada Hispanic neighborhood anymore. And, simply because the identify of Catherine Cortez Masto appears like she’d be within the nook of Hispanics in Nevada, it doesn’t imply she is. Actually, the horrible Biden insurance policies and the elected Nevada Democrats who helped us get right here, work in opposition to her.

The times are gone when Barack Obama might parachute in, fill a gymnasium in Las Vegas, and Hispanics led by union leaders would observe them out to the polls. As Democrats in Texas are discovering out, Hispanics have sensible considerations about staying upwardly cellular, as do all People

Hispanic Nevadans, similar to all Nevadans, see the worth of gasoline, skyrocketing meals costs, shortages in child system and need change. Elected Democratic leaders in Nevada haven’t fairly discovered that they don’t personal the Hispanic vote anymore.

WHAT I’M WATCHING

I streamed the brand new C.S. Lewis film “The Most Reluctant Convert” final week and located it most satisfying. Be warned, I’m massive C.S. Lewis fan, so take that under consideration for this suggestion. The film follows Lewis as he journeys as a younger man from atheist to Christianity. Properly executed. 

ONE MORE THING

– Why is male nation music like “sizzling women in teeny tiny shorts I’ll make you my spouse, bear my youngsters, entrance porch, household values, casseroles” and feminine nation music is like “oops I killed my husband.”

– I at all times needed to be a Gregorian monk, however I by no means acquired the chants.

– Two incomes are higher than one. So ensure that your accomplice has two jobs.

Apologies prematurely to Daffy and Elmer for that final meme. Thanks for studying anyway. Till subsequent week, keep away from soreheads, giggle a bit of and at all times query authority.
