Why Millions Of Minority Voters Are Ditching The Democratic Party

The Rio Grande Valley, which sits on the border with Mexico, has been a reliable stronghold for Democrats for a very long time. That’s why, back during the 2020 election, you might remember some articles about a strange turn of events in tiny Zapata County, Texas. That was the only county in the Rio Grande Valley that supported Donald Trump. The rest went for Joe Biden, mostly by comfortable margins — although the margins were slimmer than they were back in 2016.

No one really talked about these results because they aligned perfectly with the Democrats’ worldview. It goes something like this. The Rio Grande Valley is heavily Hispanic. And Hispanics obviously hate Trump because he’s a racist who wants to build a wall and deport them. And, as if that wasn’t bad enough, Trump once posted a tweet that read, “Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!” That caused a whole outrage cycle you might remember. CNN went back and forth about whether it was inappropriate to suggest that taco bowls were Mexican food. They concluded that it was, indeed, horribly racist. Whatever Trump does, the media tells us, he just keeps proving again and again how much he hates Hispanics.

So you can imagine Democrats’ surprise when, on Tuesday, Trump defeated Kamala Harris in every single one of the eight counties on the 400-mile stretch from the Gulf of Mexico to the Big Bend region. He didn’t just take Zapata this time. He also took the counties of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, Webb, Maverick, Kinney, Willacy, and Val Verde. The shift in Starr County was especially striking. This is a county that’s more than 95% Hispanic. In 2016, Trump lost Starr County by 60 points. In 2020, Trump lost by less than 5 points.

But on Tuesday, Trump won Starr County by 16 points. In other words, in the span of just two elections, Donald Trump swung the vote by more than 76% in the most Hispanic county in the United States. He became the first Republican to win the county since 1892, well more than a century ago. It’s one of the most incredible swings we’ve ever seen.

WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show

How did that happen? If you spend some time looking up local news reports from Starr County, you’ll find that they’re tired of illegal aliens streaming across the border and into their community. They don’t appreciate the Biden-Harris administration’s refusal to enforce immigration law because it affects them directly every single day, since they’re located right on the border.

But there’s a big problem for Democrats. We’re seeing similar upsets in heavily Hispanic counties that are located thousands of miles away from the southern border. For example, as of yesterday afternoon, Donald Trump was winning in Passaic County New Jersey, which is heavily Latino. As the journalist Michael Tracey pointed out, Hillary Clinton won that county by 32 points. Biden won it by 17. Donald Trump was ahead by 3 points as of yesterday. That’s a swing of 35 points from 2016.

These are not cherry-picked results. At the national level, Donald Trump posted similar numbers. He just got more votes from Latino men than any other Republican candidate in recent memory. Here’s CNN’s breakdown. They couldn’t find anything similar happening since the 70’s:

CNN's Harry Enten reports that Donald Trump is the first Republican presidential candidate to win a majority of male Latino voters since the advent of exit polls.

This is a result the analysts clearly weren’t expecting, even though Hispanic voters have been trending towards Republican candidates since 2016. And on the surface, for Democrats, it has to be extremely confusing. After all, Trump is running on an explicit platform of deporting illegal aliens. A significant majority of illegal aliens in the United States are Hispanic. Therefore, in the Democrat worldview, a significant majority of Hispanics should oppose Trump.

What this overlooks, of course, is that the majority of Hispanics in this country aren’t here illegally. Many of them care about the rule of law and the economy and lowering the crime rate. And many of them are upset by the prospect of socialism coming to America, because they’ve seen it already in places like Cuba. For all of those logical reasons, you can see why Hispanic voters might be turning away from Democrats — and that’s not even getting into the extraordinary weaknesses that are unique to Kamala Harris.

But on “Morning Joe,” none of these weaknesses or potential explanations came up. Instead, Joe Scarborough and Al Sharpton used the exact same explanation they use whenever any other demographic group does something they don’t like. They determined that Kamala is losing support among Hispanics because, other than black people, Hispanics are some of the most sexist and racist people on the planet. Watch:

Well, at least they’re finally admitting that racism is not unique to white people. So that’s progress, I guess. Scarborough starts by saying that Democrats need to be “mature and honest.” And then he proceeds to be neither. Maturity means you’re capable of introspection. It means you’re capable of assessing your own faults, and not just criticizing the perceived faults of other people. That is the foundation of maturity. You cannot be mature if you do not have a capacity for self-analysis. That’s literally what maturity is. In this case, it would mean addressing whether Hispanic voters didn’t like Kamala because she was an extremely bad candidate, who was propped up by corporate media outlets that lied relentlessly about everything her opponent did.

Could that explain why Hispanic voters don’t like her? What about the fact that Democrats have made life much worse for everyone in the country? Could that be why Hispanics started turning against Democrats four years ago? Scarborough and Al Sharpton have no answers to these questions.

And there’s another problem, too. If Democrats are going to cite racism as the explanation whenever a demographic group turns on them, then they’ll have to basically accuse the entire country of racism at this point.

According to NBC exit polls, 64% of Native American voters voted for Trump on Tuesday.

As you can see, that’s the highest of any demographic group in the poll. It’s higher than white people and Hispanics. What could possibly explain this? Democrats are the ones doing land acknowledgements all the time. They’re the ones crying about colonialism. Why isn’t that paying off? It must be racism. In fact, Trump caused a lot of controversy back in 2020 when he defended the Redskins team name right before it was changed. Trump is also the guy who hasn’t said the name “Elizabeth Warren” in like five years because he always just calls her Pocahontas. These are all things that, on Democrat logic, should result in a 99 to 1 blowout loss among Native Americans. Instead he won them by more than 60%. Native Americans are apparently racist against themselves.

Presumably racism is also the reason that, in Wisconsin, one exit poll showed that Trump was winning voters aged 18 to 24 by double digits. Young people are all racist now, too.

So is everyone living in Dearborn, Michigan, where Trump just won by 7%, after Biden took Dearborn with 88% of the vote just four years ago. That’s a 95% swing. What could explain that? Could it be, as the Detroit Free Press reported:

In Dearborn, there was frustration with the Democrats before the war in Gaza, as protesters demonstrated against some LGBTQ+ books in public schools they saw too explicit, resulting in Democrats losing support in heavily-Muslim precincts in Dearborn in November 2022.

That sounds like a problem if you’re trying to win over a heavily Muslim precinct. Maybe Muslims don’t want gay porn books in schools. Maybe they don’t think children should be sterilized and castrated. Or maybe they’re just racist against black women. That makes the most sense. 

If so, they’re in very good company, apparently. This next clip features a man named Anthony Coley. He’s a former top official at the DOJ who served as a senior adviser to the attorney general, Merrick Garland. To restate: this guy was advising the chief law enforcement official in the entire country. He was paid by the taxpayers to provide guidance on some of the most important issues facing the justice system. With that in mind, behold Anthony Coley’s assessment of how Kamala Harris lost on Tuesday:

If you ever come across someone who knows nothing about the United States, and that person wants to know how it’s possible that the DOJ — in a supposedly first-world country — charged the leading presidential candidate with a bunch of fake crimes just before the election, show them this clip. This is the caliber of person who was advising the attorney general. This is the level of intellect and depth of analysis you get at the DOJ. This guy can barely contain his rage as he accuses the entire country of being racist because they didn’t like Kamala. She’s “overqualified,” he says. 

But wait a minute, you might ask. How can a woman who can’t answer even basic questions about her own policies possibly be “overqualified”? How can a candidate who did not ever lay out any kind of coherent policy plan be “overqualified”? What does “overqualified” even mean in this context? And then he makes it clear that, in his view, being “qualified” basically means you’re not a convicted felon. Once you are convicted, then you’re “unqualified,” apparently. Unless the felony you’ve been convicted of is, say, murder or robbery, in which case I’m sure this guy would be the first to say that your criminal history shouldn’t be held against you at all. In fact you probably shouldn’t even go to prison.

MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+

This is why the DOJ bombarded Trump with all of those fraudulent charges, on everything from “insurrection” to storing classified documents. They really believed, at the highest levels of the DOJ, that voters would “disqualify” Donald Trump once he had some convictions on his record. They thought they had that power to influence the election. But they didn’t have that power. So all they can do now is lash out at the entire country for being racist.

We’re such a racist country, apparently, that we promote morons like this to high-level positions in the DOJ, and then put them on TV to say extremely dumb things for money. That’s how terrible we are.

And of course, I can’t talk about dumb people saying inane things on television for money without bringing up “The View,” which had a full-on meltdown yesterday. Watch as Sunny Hostin explains that Kamala Harris’ defeat had nothing to do with policy whatsoever.

Instead, Kamala lost because — well, you know. Watch:

Sunny Hostin: “I was so hopeful a mixed race woman married to a Jewish guy could win the presidency. This had nothing to do with policy.”

How dumb is she and viewers of “The View?”

Kamala lost because she had no policy to run on.

She somehow manages to contradict herself as soon as she begins talking. “I’m surprised at the result, but I’m not surprised.” Well, that doesn’t work. You can either be surprised or unsurprised, but you don’t get to be both at the same time. And then she goes on to explain that “cultural resentment” is the reason Kamala Harris lost the election. Somehow none of this “cultural resentment” prevented Barack Obama from winning two terms in office, but it’s shown up now to crush Kamala Harris’ presidential ambitions.

What’s funny about this, other than the fact it makes no sense, is that Sonny Hostin is the last person on the planet who should be lecturing anyone else about the evils of “cultural resentment.” A couple of years ago she compared white women to roaches, and said they want to live in The Handmaid’s Tale (which is, by law, the one book that liberals are capable of referencing. The other one was Harry Potter, until JK Rowling was excommunicated from the Leftist church for saying that men can’t get pregnant.) Anyway, watch:

Sounds a lot like cultural resentment to me. But maybe “roaches” is a term of endearment. She meant the good kind of roaches, I guess. Who’s to say? 

What we can say is that, even on the supposedly more intelligent cable news shows, the analysis isn’t much better. Here’s former Obama campaign guru David Axelrod, offering his nuanced assessment of the race:

The media has learned absolutely nothing. CNN’s David Axelrod argues that Trump won because Americans are racist and hate women. pic.twitter.com/cQPqebKkwX

— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) November 6, 2024

“There is racial bias in this country and there is sexism,” says David Axelrod. But he says it’s not “the main reason” Kamala Harris lost. So he’s just going to throw it out there, I guess. Did you know that some Americans are racist? Did you know that America has not completely and totally eradicated all traces of racism, something that is quite literally impossible for any country to ever do? Well, now you know.

Of course, what Axelrod won’t do, at any point, is talk about the racial bias in this country against white men like Donald Trump, which CNN and other major corporations perpetuate at every opportunity. To give just one example, yesterday Nicole Hannah Jones — the fraudster behind the fake history of the 1619 project — declared that white Americans (including Latinos apparently) are bent on enforcing a white ethnostate. And that’s supposedly why Kamala Harris lost.

Since this nation’s inception large swaths of white Americans — including white women — have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. … Anti-Blackness continues to be a powerful force in this country. And anti-Blackness cannot just be attributed to white Americans. The shock about the significant increase in Latinos choosing Trump, with his anti-immigrant rhetoric, family separation policy, and insults of Latin countries, over a Black woman tells me too many people fail to understand that anti-Blackness is deeply embedded in Latino cultures as well.

I wanted to read all of that just because it’s amazing to hear anyone still talking about the “family separation policy” like this. We’re supposed to still be amazed that, when adults commit federal crimes, they’re sometimes separated from their families — even though that happens literally every day in this country to American citizens. And it’s especially incredible given that, as The Daily Wire reported earlier this year, the Biden-Harris administration has made the situation far worse. They did away with DNA testing that the Trump administration implemented, to make sure that adults who took custody of minors at the border were actually related to them. As a result, tens of thousands of children are unaccounted for, and many are suspected to have been taken by human traffickers.

But let’s just ignore all of that and say that Latinos hate black people, says Nicole Hannah Jones. So how’s this for a new rule: As long as the corporate press is pretending that race hustlers like Jones are really profound intellectuals worth respecting, they don’t get to lecture anyone else about racial bias. That would be an interesting change. 

But that’ll never happen, of course, because the next generation of Barack Obama impersonators won’t know how to attract attention to themselves anymore. Consider this video from Tennessee state representative Justin Jones, where he informs us that Kamala Harris lost because we’re a white supremacist country that can’t tolerate “multi-racial democracy.” Watch:

Accepting the election results does not mean we will passively accept fascism.

Like many, I woke up feeling despair. Our nation is broken and sick, but it is in times like these we must remain unbowed.

To District 52, thank you for re-electing me to fight this MAGA extremism. pic.twitter.com/IMZqBlbPyH

— Rep. Justin Jones (@brotherjones_) November 6, 2024

Again, this alleged backlash to “multiracial democracy” didn’t prevent Barack Obama from winning two consecutive terms. So why would it prevent Kamala Harris from becoming the president? Could it be that everyone understood — as Joe Biden admitted — that she was selected for the job solely because of her skin color and gender? Could it be that, in everything she did, she reaffirmed that she’s unqualified for the job?

California congresswoman Maxine Waters doesn’t think so. She also came out and accused half the country of being racist, although there’s a twist this time.

In this instance, the host pushed back. Watch what happened next:

Maxine Waters says we are all racist. I’m glad to see they’ve learned their lesson. What do you all have to say to Maxine?

So she begins by saying that whites want to “take the country back” from minorities who are “succeeding.” She clarifies that “it’s not about the economy, it’s about white versus others.” It’s about as explicit as you can be, in terms of accusing people of racism. And then when the host offers some minor pushback, she clarifies that actually, half the country just wants to improve its position — which seems like a normal thing to want. It’s all very confusing.

Fortunately there’s a self-described Democrat strategist named Ally Sammarco to rescue us from this confusion. This was her assessment on X:

If Kamala Harris had done EVERYTHING the same, but she was a white man, she would’ve won. It’s that simple.

Well, that clears it up. If, instead of Kamala Harris, we had Pete Buttigieg, then Democrats would have swept the Blue Wall. They would’ve dominated in the Rio Grande Valley. Texas would go blue. Or, more likely, Democrats would have lost just as badly, and we’d all be hearing how much we all hate homosexuals.

Over in The Atlantic, to their credit, they’re hinting at another possible explanation for Democrats’ blowout loss. All over the country, it looks like people who have direct and long-standing exposure to Democrat Party rule are now turning against the party. Philadelphia County went five points to the right, while Detroit moved nine points to the right. Cook County in Illinois moved more than 10 points right. Manhattan moved nearly ten points towards the Republican. Brooklyn went 12 points to the right. Queens and Bronx county shifted more than 20 points to the right each. Miami-Dade in Florida went nearly 20 points to the right. Harris County and Bexar County in Texas went 8 points to the right. Dallas County went 10 points to the right. And on and on it goes.

These are such consistent and staggering declines that, very clearly, Democrats aren’t governing well. Americans are tired of being ruled by these people. But wherever you look — from cable news to social media to Democrat politicians at all levels of government — they all agree that fundamentally, the blame for this election falls on the American people for being racist and sexist. The Democrat Party is so firmly grounded in identity politics that they are incapable of seeing this loss any other way. It’s becoming clear that they will ride the identity politics train over the cliff and into the ground.

For Republicans, from a purely political perspective, that’s probably great news. It means we can look forward to many more Kamala Harris-style implosions in the future. For people living in the many cities and towns that Democrats are ruining, though, it means that the suffering is probably going to continue for quite a while, until these people are removed from power for good. They either need to go, or there needs to be a moment of massive transformation in the Democrat Party.

On Tuesday, whether Democrats want to acknowledge it or not, tens of millions of Americans sent a clear signal that a moment like that can’t come soon enough.
