We lost (some of) the black men, the Hispanics, the youth and the first time voters.

56. The irony here is, most of these immigrants (Latinos, Asians, etc.)

Leave their countries because of oppression, lack of personal freedom, lack of financial opportunities, to come to America to gain those things. Yet they turn around and vote for politicians who will make this country similar to the ones they left. Also, many Latinos consider themselves to be white. And sadly, many share the same racists opinions as their white American counterparts. I don't know how we reach this type of racism that we've yet to reach with white Americans born here. Additionally, when we speak about Asians being conservative socially and politically, what we failed to flush out is many of them also have racists beliefs which we normalize by saying that they are politically and socially conservatives. How do we appeal to those racists beliefs when we can't appeal to American born whites?
