 In the last election, 23% of Cali Hispanics voted Trump, or 41% did so in Texas. Why did so many Texas Hispanics vote for anti-immigration, immigrant Republicans? Do they just not care about the racism against them? This has been a long-time phenomenon of the fact that in Texas, Hispanics voted Republican in much greater numbers than in California. And this has, you know, I think, pretty deep and obvious roots. In California, the Republican Party has been explicitly antagonistic to the Hispanic community. It has been viciously anti-immigrant. It has been viciously anti-Hispanics. California, which has as a percentage just as many of them are more Hispanics than California has. Sorry, Texas. Republicans in Texas just don't behave in such a horrible way towards Hispanics. They have not made, at least historically have not made immigration as big of an issue as California has. They have not made going after Hispanics a big deal. If you remember George W. when he was governor of Texas, got a significant number of Texans voting for him. Hispanics in Texas voting for him. He was very friendly towards the Hispanic community and indeed as president proposed significant immigration reform, which would allow more legal immigrants to come across the border, a bill that was stopped by the Democrats who were traditionally the anti-immigration party. So Hispanics are very much responding to the attitude of the Republican Party in the particular states to them. They are treated really, really badly in California and they're treated much better in Texas by the Republicans. Still not well, but better. Hispanics both in California and in Texas are conservatives. Certainly when it comes to things like family and when it comes to social issues. But also when it comes to economics, Hispanics are not socialists. They're not typically, you know, big government Democrat type socialists. You don't see a lot of Hispanics going for Bernie Sanders. They voted for Biden, but they're not Bernie Sanders fans. So that would be my explanation for what happened. I also wonder whether the, what do you call it, the turnout rates in California among Hispanics were low because the ones who would have voted for Trump, what's the point if you're going to vote for Trump? What's the point of voting in California? It's obvious California is going to go for Biden. So you stay home. So California numbers, because it votes so late, by the time it votes, everybody knows who's won. And because it's so obviously Democratic, it's hard to break down the results. It's hard to analyze them. Hispanics all over the country, maybe with the exception of California, voted in favor of Trump much more than they did in other places because I think that they, they don't actually like the Democrats. And they know that Democrats deep down anti-immigration to a large extent just like the Republicans. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran book show.
