Concern trolling is precious.
Latino voters with core republican values will, ofc, vote for a republican candidate - as that demographic always has. Fine people on both sides, holding their noses, and all that. The GOP, however, abandoned their outreach to this subset...slowly in a trickle over the obama years, and completely as trumpian nativism subsumed core republican values.
It is a fact that trumpian nativism plays better in demographics that have previously shown susceptibility to nativist propaganda - just as it's a fact that specific subsets within the hispanic demographic invest political and cultural energy into being white adjacent. This is pointing out the effects of racism. It is, similarly, a fact that communities with a strong catholic representation are more likely to support a specific plank of the gop..or that the democratic platform in this regard turns them off. Abortion bad, gay bad, cuz jesus.... got it?
The abortion bad gay bad core republican values camp has never been, nor is it being pushed out of the democratic fold. They are part of the republican base. The trumpian nativists will never...ever...vote for immigrant loving communists™, and that's no coincidence..when you look at the distribution of political opinions an ethnic fault lines by subset. The hispanic vote is not homogenous, or an entitled portion of the democratic plantation (lol).
More obliquely, the reason that rightwing trolls are generaly bad at culture warring is because hey have no fucking clue what they're talking about. This and that and the other thing -always- looks like racism to them..even as racism doesn't look like racism to them.
