Hispanics Just Voting For Whichever Candidate Isn’t Calling Them ‘Latinx’

From The Babylon Bee:

SAN BENITO, TX—Democrats are panicking as Hispanics around the country are switching to the Republican party in droves. Research indicates the main reason for the seismic shift in political affiliation is that most Hispanics are just voting for whoever isn’t calling them “Latinx.”

“Yeah, I’m not really into politics, but I friggin’ hate being called ‘Latinx.’ What the heck is a ‘Latinx’ anyway?” said local voter Juan Rodríguez outside a San Benito polling station. “So usually when I vote, I find the candidate who calls us ‘Latinx,’ and whoever that is, I don’t vote for that person. If there is another candidate who does not call us ‘Latinx,’ then I vote for that person instead.”

Democrats instead say the real problem is their messaging around the word “Latinx,” saying they have failed to sufficiently educate the “backward, unenlightened immigrants” that they should be called “Latinx” and that is a good thing. Meanwhile, they say Republicans have pounced on the word “Latinx” and made it toxic because they are mean and stinky.

“We need to make these darn Mexicans understand that if they don’t use ‘Latinx’ they are sexist and homophobic,” said Democratic strategist Xando Groomiebugger. “Nothing terrifies a Latinx more than being called ‘sexist’ or ‘homophobic.'”

At publishing time, Democrats have proposed building a more secure border wall to keep immigrants out.

Will California Restore Affirmative Action? Probably not, by Ron Unz

Repealing affirmative action in California may not be the slam dunk people think. From Ron Unz at unz.com:

As everyone knows, over the last couple of decades California has become a one-party Democratic state. Democrats hold a better than three-fourths hyper-majority in the State Assembly and their control is nearly as overwhelming in the State Senate. California has our nation’s largest Congressional delegation, and of its 53 members only seven are Republican.

Not only is every statewide officeholder a Democrat, but no Republican has won such a race in almost 15 years, with many of the recent contests not even featuring a Republican on the November ballot. The once-proud Republican Party of Reagan and Nixon has been reduced to almost total irrelevance.

This same pattern has held in national elections, with Donald Trump losing the 2016 California vote by a remarkable 30 points and the most recent polling data suggesting a similar outcome this November.

Except for tiny Hawaii, California is now America’s most heavily non-white state, with our white European population reduced to little more than 30% of the total. But such demographic factors explain only part of those lop-sided 2016 election results since white Californians supported Trump at a rate 20-25 points lower than whites in the rest of the country. If America’s entire white national electorate had voted like its Golden State counterpart, Trump would have lost all fifty states, mostly by huge landslides, and suffered by far the greatest electoral disaster in American history. All the Trump-hating pundits would have spent Election Night laughing and saying “I told you so!”
