Liberals Envisioned a Multiracial Coalition. Voters of Color Had Other Ideas.

18. My only guess is

that a significant number of Latinx and Asian voters in California are conservative. Neither of these groups represents a homogeneous bloc of voters, and we should not assume they are, nor count on them to be on our side just because of their origins or “race.”

My sister lives in Southern California, and has several friends from South America. They are very liberal, but they’d been horrifiedly telling her all year that so many of their of their friends/acquaintances were Trump supporters. It’s no surprise that many in the varied and diverse (both economically and geographically) Asian community are quite conservative.

These results don’t surprise me one bit.
