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]

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. [/quote]

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.  [b]Latinos are a massive group and are shifting right too[/b] Why did Trump get so many Latino votes? [/quote]

I don’t doubt that Latinos are shifting right since many of them come from countries with authoritarian leaders, which often makes them prefer “strong leaders,” and are religiously conservative. But that may change the more this administration goes after Latinos—and not just the undocumented ones—in such an unrelenting and cruel way. They’re literally being singled out for abuse by this administration, more so than any other group in this country. And the polls are already starting to shift.

“Trump's approval rating among Hispanics has declined sharply to **27%** in the latest October 2025 AP-NORC poll, down from 41% in March 2025 and 48% in the 2024 election.”

If Trump and Stephen Miller keep this up, they  may cause the GOP to lose Hispanic voters for a long time to come.[/quote]

+1 Especially when ICE tactics mean Hispanic citizens can be detained and questioned for simply appearing Hispanic. [/quote]
