And the generational divide:

Chinese Americans who immigrated here and who actually lived under communism are turning into hardcore Trump supporters. They are horrified at the messaging in NY wrt all the free stuff being promised, laxity on crime, and increasing taxes to make a bigger state. I didn't realize how badly Kamala had tanked with Chinese Americans. What a disaster.

I doubt it’s just Chinese Americans. Frankly, most of the Asian immigrants I know are very conservative. That’s not necessarily true for their kids, but it is for the original immigrants.

I mean you're right- just look at the Eden Center in VA. It is hardcore MAGA fans. Vietnamese are super conservative, especially the older ones who escaped Communism. Trump literally visited the Eden Center because older Vietnamese are huge supporters. It's a similar story - generational divide in Vietnamese households due to their American kids who have never actually had to live under socialism or communism while their parents fled it at all costs.

So they fear the communism they left and would prefer...authoritarianism here? Especially from a GOP that would ship them all back to China in a blink of an eye? After tear gassing them, no doubt.

Why are people so frickin stupid?

In terms of elections if you're a Democrat, it's not a disaster. There are not that many Chinese Americans and many are in solidly blue states.

The point is that Kamala tanked by 20 frigging percentage points with Chinese Americans compared to the prior presidential election. Sure, Chinese Americans are a small cohort, but it is a canary in the coal mine for how things are going for the Dems. Losing 20 percentage points is massive. Latinos are a massive group and are shifting right too. Why did Trump get so many Latino votes?

Exactly. I'm surprised there is any room left for a "shift."

Everyone who is paying attention knows how things are going for the Dems. The GOP has a supermajority in Washington. Your last question has been explored ad nauseum.

The good news for Dems is that the GOP doesn't know how to hold popularity among the electorate because they are beholden to the 0.1%.

"Kamala" tanked... lol. Biden was the sitting POTUS in 2024. Biden was on trial during the 2024 election. Biden lost the 2024 election. Harris never had a chance because of..... Biden. The disastrous second Trump term is Biden's legacy, not his VP's. You're trying to blame the Lewinsky scandal on Gore or Watergate on Ford.

You guys are crazy.


No Asian immigrants didn't vote to trash the country's economy and intellectual standing in the world. Things their kids are good at. Not manufacturing or trades.

They, number 1, voted to have opportunities for their kids in the future. You may have conned the with the "black kids took your child's spot at Harvard."

But guaranteed, when their kids get out, they are leaving the country or even back to China for better opportunities. They aren't going to find them in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.

Well, perhaps there's hope with the younger generation that they won't be swayed by the dumb socialism/communism rhetoric, but I doubt it.

They have PTSD and lots of trauma from their ordeal in the Old Country. Former USSR immigrants are similarly drawn to authoritarian figures. It’s comforting when they perceive themselves to be on the “correct side” of the authoritarian. Same thing happened in Israel with all their former USSR émigrées

A lot of Asians are centered in cities, that vote more Democrat.
Maybe more conservative in the suburbs.

Chinese have multiple reasons to shift right.
Not prosecuting crime, a lot of attacks against Chinese go unpunished, and Democrats compound it by claiming it is white MAGA doing the attacks.
Ending gifted programs and advanced classes.

Trust me. You MAGA are alienating them in the spot they care about most, their own children.

They didn't come here to set them up in a trash country.

But then again, you are MAGA, you have no ability to make America great again.

You are so mediocre and some subpar
