Over 40% percent of Hispanics (up from 30% last time) and about 15% of black men. God only knows how many women and other marginalized people. The Republicans knew they couldn’t sustain their party with angry white males and their drunk wives so during the George W. bush years they began to recruit Hispanics. There’s nothing an immigrant loves more than pulling the ladder up behind them. They already had those south Florida Cubans that vote Republican because that party continues to punish Castro’s Cuba even though the bastard has been dead for years. They literally chant “send those sp-cs back” at the Trump rallies. Not to mention just about every single Republican for office campaigns on no reparations or welfare for people who didn’t earn it. That’s what they call DEI, didn’t earn it. Want to guess who they’re talking about there.
In Massachusetts there were five candidates for president on the ballot. Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Socialist, and Jill Stein’s Green Party (aka Russian agents). Jill Stein fucked us again. In many races it was slim and that few percent drawn off by these covertly funded third parties could have turned the tables. Never vote third party they gave us the Bush/Cheney nightmare for two terms thanks to Ralph Nader and now two terms of Trump.
Now let’s look at the Muslims and the Jews. The Muslims and the pro-Palestinian protest voters drew off even more. Republican operatives started that whole “Genocide Joe” bullshit and all the radical assholes bought into it like rabid Bernie Bros. They were staging demonstrations at Harris events right up until the day before the election. Well now the Palestinians are really fucked because as we all know Trump and the Republicans really despise Muslims/Palestinians and have a love affair with Israel. Fucking war criminal Netanyahu was the first foreign leader to call and congratulate Trump. The Jewish lobby has always supported the Republicans because of the latter’s hatred of Muslims. Both sides in the Middle East tanked Harris.
While we’re throwing stones let’s look at the affluent Asian groups who voted their pocket book instead of for democracy. And when it comes to voting one’s pocket book there’s the Log Cabin Republicans, the affluent lesbian and gay community. Texas and several other state level Republican conventions won’t even let them attend let alone participate but they continue to throw money at the GOP. Let’s not forget one of the largest groups, the seniors who believe Republican scary lies and think everyone younger than them doesn’t deserve a penny or damn.
So we’ve got a Democratic Party that’s based around protecting marginalized people who largely don’t vote or vote Republican in increasingly large numbers.
Who’s left in the Democratic Party? Northeast and West Coast educated liberals. An ever shrinking union base in those same regions. And older African-American women who seem to be the only marginalized people with the brains to solidly back the party that doesn’t want to kill them. Thank god for mature African-American women and the spouses they drag to the polls. And last but not least we have urban dwellers who know Republicans despise them and want to cut off virtually all programs that help them.
So in summation we lose about 3% to 3rd party assholes, about 1-2% to the Israeli crowd, another 1-2% to the Muslim-American crowd (if the news figures are to be believed). Add to that 40% of registered Hispanic voters who should know better, 15% of African-American men who must be as delusional as Kanye, a few percent to Log Cabin Republicans who are risking being outlawed, and an indeterminate number of affluent Asians. That alone is more than enough to change a tight race but let’s add in possibly tens of millions of women who are voting away their rights to control their own bodies and have full citizenship.
The cherry on top is the 100,000,000 plus non-voters that common knowledge tells us would vote overwhelmingly Democratic. If the “conservative” Hispanics alone abandoned their delusion it would instantly flip Texas and Florida and we would never lose again. If all the Republican women woke up and realized that party was at war with them and their rights as full citizens we would win with ease across the board. If all those other smaller groups realized they were voting against their own interests we wouldn’t have to sweat unpredictable swing states.
The north east and the west coast are the only solidly blue states left. The upper mid-west is on the verge of being lost and so is the less populous south west. I’ve been saying for over two decades we can’t survive without the Florida and Texas Hispanics. I’ve said this a million times and I’ll repeat it, the Democrats, their donors, their spokespeople, and their celebrities need to flood those two states with outreach programs. Every single Spanish speaking Democratic elected office holder, regardless of where there constituency is, needs to be working those to states tirelessly. All the Spanish speaking celebrities on our side should be doing likewise. These voters need to be educated about the threat posed to them by the Republicans. Indeed it already may be too late for some as Trump wants to revoke birthright citizenship. If that happens I personally will lose 75% of my family, friends, and neighbors.
This has been my unsolicited autopsy. Welcome Hispanics into the party and we’ll be saved in the short term. Get all the others on board and we can end the Republican Party and create a progressive welcoming society. With the Republicans off the board we will finally have the luxury of moving to a multi-party system. As it is now the minor parties only contribute to Republican victories. This is not prejudicial as these demographic facts are on many news sites that covered the election in detail.
“Oh but I have the right to vote 3rd party or to protest vote and not voting isn’t against the law.” Well many of you are going to learn hard lessons in the next few years as you are stripped of rights, citizenship, worker protections, rounded up, persecuted by right-wing fascists and their militias or possibly be “eradicated” to use the current Republican term. We’re all going to suffer hardships, even Trump voters are going to suffer monetarily. We may never have the right to vote again as we slide into a fascist dystopian nightmare.
There’s a big fucking difference between what you can do and what you should do. And for fuck’s sake stop spending money at Walmart, they write all the policies you protest and fund every Republican for state and federal office. Same for Koch Industries. If you don’t like my rant then fuck off and get blocked when you retort.
