It’s Time for the Republican Party to Embrace Identity Politics
It’s not “pandering” nor “identity politics” to reach out to minorities whose social values are more consistent with GOP values. Most minorities never even heard of “Acorn”. Who helped pass prop 8 in California? Not whites, that’s for sure.
But they vote democrat, because that party lends a sympathetic ear to immigration concerns (while silently voting against things like outright amnesty or driver’s license to illegals) and the poorest of the bunch rely big govt programs, notably welfare. But since many minorities are also small business owners who sell imports from their homeland, there’s a limit to their tolerance to high taxes.
When brain dead losers like “Mike W” post nonsense, of course the PJM community will respond. But in reality, the GOP doesn’t. In my almost 20 years living in this country, I’ve never once had local Republican group reach out to my family and countless other immigrants who populate California. There aren’t many PJM equavelant or conservative / libertarian thinktanks available in other languages to cultivate conservatism among 40,50 year old immigrants who can’t speak English. I doubt many of them even realize what the Stimulus really is. The local Korean newsource that I read are certifiable liberal garbage.
If you don’t fight, then most minorities will continue to vote democrat, who parade around as their guardian party, while failing to improve our lives in any significant manner in reality. Blacks are a lost cause, but think about your chances on a swing state if the GOP gained some modest uptick in Latino and Asian voters.
