You mean the steel mills that didn't update their production methods and the coal mines that slowly killed their workers while having them live in abject poverty? That wasn't the Democrats. |
The Boston suburbs are a lot more D than NYC suburbs though. Is there a discernible Italian vote in the Boston area? |
A lot more Italians in Providence RI than the Boston area. The Boston Herald was priming white male union workers for Trump for at least 20 years prior to 2016. |
White Scots-Irish folks in NJ, PA, WV, ME, NY aren’t exactly living that white privileged life. |
Lots of democrats are driven by racism towards white people. Once the white population drops, white women will be in the same category as white evil men. White woman vote for D will not be needed. |
Absolutely. North of Boston along the coast. Lots of trumpers |

Look the neighborhood I grew up in went from 75% Hispanic in 2000 to 96% Hispanic in 2017. This has correlated in the schools becoming much lower-performing. That district isn’t in a major city; it doesn’t have the resources to deal with that kind of surge in illegal immigration. My hometown is 85% white, mostly Irish & Italian. |
The real trick is finding issues they care about and then telling them they shouldn't care about those issues |
Aren’t Jews “white ethnic”? Because Democrats continue to dominate the Jewish vote. |
Mayflower et al types tend to lionize the Founders, the Union and propriety. January 6th, the MAGA personalities and the neo-Confederacy are anathema to them. |
Because the Mayflower types are rich. They aren’t affected by bad Dem policies. |
Well, you know, wasp types have had centuries longer to practice racism, white supremacy, sexism, and all that. |

The "spicy whites," Jews, Italians, Greeks who have historically had only conditional "whiteness" in this country and, thus, formed the backbone of the old left are sadly leeching into the Republican party in greater numbers, and have done, since Reagan. Part of this is fundamentalism in religion that is making these communities more religious and more rightward - just like America as a whole, and part of it is the conversion of America into a service-based economy, etc. |
