Hispanics are going to want good jobs too. Down the line....this issue has to be fixed somehow or it will bite the Democrats down the line.

You can't expect to win every election through sexism, racism, and identity politics. Voters are not stupid. Eventually they are going to want results regardless of the demographics. People are somewhat finding ways to get by now. It's not really that bad out there yet. But if unemployment creeps up, or we start seeing big jumps of inflation, there is going to be a serious problem. And there may not even be a GOP around to blame.
