What do you mean no one predicted this before trump ran for office? Bush the Younger made it a party plank and benefitted from that known quantity..in florida, where his presidency was decided.
It's been a thing for a long time, the dems made inroads peaking in 2012(iirc - may have that wrong, may be 2016)....but in the longer view it's clear that they, like the shrubs admin, have failed to live up to those promises they either made, or the cohort believes they make. Same thing happening in that demo too, in the end, millennial latinos (overwhelmingly birthright citizens who are primary english rather than primary spanish and far less religious) are more likely than non latino millennials, even, to identify as liberals. The most persistent split before this was whether someone was an immigrant or first gen.
It's a two party system, you have to do something pretty extraordinary for it to end up with anything other than a generally even split. In context, the republicans are massively fucking the pooch on this one, as the present reality of the catholic church combined with the recent past of many immigrants countries gives them a massive advantage to squander. The us is a center right country, and recent polling about millennial voters as well as the bush slump aside, you see that in the last few cycles of latino americans as well..because they are, after all, american. Bubbling around in the same melting pot as the rest of us.
White christian dominionism made common cause with papists and refuges from totalitarian regimes. If you want to see blatant tokenism in action, watch south florida politics.
