[quote=carli]I read this NY Times article about Trump pushing Asian Americans (who’ve replaced Hispanics as the fastest growing racial group in the U.S.) into “Democratic arms” and thought of flu, AN and my Asian American friends…so true! -http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/02/us/politics/trump-asian-american-voters.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0.[/quote]
The more Trump and his followers blame minorities for all of their economic ills (that were more or less self induced), the more this is going to happen.
It’s just a matter of time before the hate/anger spills over from Muslims and Latinos to anyone else that is of color. It’s even more hysterical that Trump was trying to win the votes of African Americans. Trump and his racist followers won’t just stop at Muslims and Latinos. They’ll move on to Indians and Asians, next. The common theme is. “I’m suffering economically…Rather than the problem being my life choices, it’s (insert minority to blame here) fault”…Very ironic to the GOP mantra of “personal responsibility”. I guess not many people in really believe in it. oh well.
My sibling and her husband are ultra-conservative and never ever voted Democrat for the past 30 years…It will be a first for them when they vote for HRC, reluctantly I might add.
My concern is I hope we don’t have a landslide in senate and house. We need a balanced government. We need a return to something moderate, not something ridiculously extreme at either end of the spectrum.
