yep. Dems are getting absolutely killed in the Spanish language info environment
Yet all this underscores another problem, and it’s a deeply sobering one. It’s now clear that the Democratic Party’s undeniable deficit in the information wars, in which Republicans benefit from a massive media propaganda network while dominating more apolitical cultural information spaces, extends to Latino voters in a very big way. Casar pointed to the right-wing infiltration of Univision, the premier Latino television network, as a key turning point in these info wars. He also noted he had seen a marked uptick in right-wing propaganda via Spanish-language social media that distorts the Democratic Party’s economic plans and, tellingly, in misinformation that’s designed to turn more established Latinos against recent arrivals, dividing Latinos against one another. “Many of the voters most susceptible to right-wing disinformation are Spanish-speaking-only voters who have all sorts of propaganda dumped on them,” Casar told me. “A ton of it is in Spanish.”
