[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think MoCo is on a “self-fulfilling prophecy” journey.

The county’s older more affluent, white longtime residents are dying off or retired in Florida. The reliable tax base has decreased dramatically.

The county has diversified dramatically thanks to its sanctuary city status. Frankly, the affluent heyday prompted a boom requiring service workers.

Now we are entering a new phase where Latinos are the overwhelming majority in entire portions of the county. Mcps is prioritizing dollars to better support them…and beginning to realize (surprise!) they are religious and very conservative. And they aren’t the only ones! The west side of the county has growing Asian and Muslim communities that are also conservative.

ICYMI: the reliably blue MoCo is quietly transitioning. Sure, plenty of Latinos can’t vote…yet. But give it a generation or two.

I mean, who do you think votes in red TX? Latinos are generally religious and politically conservative. The mcps anti-lgbtq book thing was driven by religious non-whites. The times they are a-changing. [/quote]

(White) Montgomery County Republicans keep telling each other this, and believing it.[/quote]

Well, I’m a Dem with a social justice warrior type job who routinely interacts with immigrants.

Long story short: religious, anti-abortion, anti-lgbtq, anti-taxes, work under the table in jobs that deal in cash even when they are here legally to avoid taxes, etc.

Sounds pretty Republican to me.

Mcps abandoned Halloween festivities in response to their religious beliefs. Give it a generation and let’s see what happens.
