There was never a Racial Realignment
We're witnessing a Latino "Dealignment" and that's why the experts keep missing it

I'm breaking down all the numbers and data from the polls and making sense of the election with data nerd @mikemadrid.bsky.social and we'll explain why trump lost all of his Latino support from 2024. In addition to losing independents and youth.

We have a new swing voter population, it appears. It will be interesting to see how Dems adjust their campaign rhetoric accordingly.

(@mikemadrid.bsky.social is one expert on this issue.)
No one has figured out the exact scale of the Hispanic vote collapse yet, but I tried to get my arms around it. Read the rest here: www.thebulwark.com/p/2025-elect...

As old systems wither and die the ancient knowledge reminds us that reality has always existed between the living and the dead.

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

Listen to Molly 👇🏽
When liberal pundits say “working class” they mean poor straight white men. They do not mean poor women, POC, or queer people, etc.

The latter group is larger than the former so what are we even doing playing footsie with guys with Nazi tattoos to appeal to white men who will never vote for us?
“The conceit at the heart of that belief is that poor white people are too racist, and too uniquely ignorant of their racism, to vote in their best interests. Therefore, Democrats have to accept a little racism to win the working class.”

Again, Latino politics don’t work the way people think. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, both immigration hawks, performed well with Latinos. Obama, the “deporter-in-chief,” did better with Latinos in 2012 than in 2008.
Eric is right. Latinos began turning on Trump because of tariffs and the economy SIX WEEKS BEFORE the ICE raids in Los Angeles
Is immigration playing a role? Yes. But as @mikemadrid.bsky.social and I have said, it's probably also the tariffs. Guess who works in the port of Los Angeles handling goods that come into the U.S.? Latinos.

Here is another great discussion to check out - this one between @wajali.bsky.social and @mikemadrid.bsky.social

Rescuing the country from oligarchy and fascism is not a tired framing of centrist vs. progressive Democrat.

How do Democrats form a broad working-class coalition?
