This article is quite interesting. It is from the Atlantic. Cannot get much further left than that. Worth a read.

"This is precisely what the 2020 election results revealed. Most notable were shifts away from Democrats in Latino communities, especially in Mexican American precincts in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Congressional candidates Mike Garcia in Los Angeles County, Michelle Steel and Young Kim in Orange County, and David Valadao in the Central Valley played up traditional Republican messaging on economic opportunity, taxes, and jobs while deftly mediating their relationship to the Trump brand according to how partisan their voters were. Garcia and Steel embraced a brash pro-Trump message; Kim and Valadao veered toward the center. They all pushed hard to reopen businesses and lift pandemic restrictions; made appeals to social conservatives, including Catholic and evangelical Latinos; and toed a careful line on immigration, relying on their own immigrant heritage to appear more inclusive than the national party."

The border emergency will fuck the Dems bigly, they just seem incapable of doing anything sensible. As for Kackling Kammy she's a total liability.

That was a good read and very on point. The state is almost half Hispanic and if Republicans are ever going to be competitive again it has to make inroads with these voters. The article also succinctly lays out the lingering problem of Prop 187 and why Hispanics will not vote Republican. And while people may not want to hear this the Trump style rhetoric will not win Hispanic voters in the state over to the Republican side.

The old adage of all politics are local applies here. Republicans have to take a different tack to win in this state. The opportunity is there to do so however.
