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

Why are people so frickin stupid?

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.

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?
