Fascist GOP Manipulating Hispanic Voters Because They are Scared of Socialism [View all]

[LetMyPeopleVote]

TFG got a significant amount of support from Hispanic voters in 2020 due to concerns about socialism and crappy ideas like "defund the police."

I know that the Texas Democratic Party is concerned and there have been some CLE events on this. TFG did very well in the Rio Grande Valley in 2020 and the state party is working to improve outreach

Democratic Party strategist and MSNBC contributor Paola Ramos said Saturday that Republicans are making substantial gains with Hispanic voters because they have become more afraid of socialism than fascism.

Ramos, the former deputy director of Hispanic media for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, joined The Cross Connection with host Tiffany Cross to talk about Hispanic voter outreach following reporting this week which purported to show that the Hispanic vote is now essentially up for grabs.

A poll from The Wall Street Journal released a week ago showed Hispanic voters who were surveyed said they were almost evenly split in their preference between Democrats and Republicans, meaning the country’s second largest voting bloc is now a swing vote.

Cross asked both Ramos and Northwestern University professor Geraldo Cadava about the potential ramifications of the polling. Ramos initially assigned blame to Cuban-American Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) for engaging in what she said was a misinformation campaign based on fear-mongering.
