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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
