Good to hear. I think The Log Cabin Republicans (Gay conservatives) is still around.

I need to wear a mask in some stores. I wear a “TRUMP 2020” or “MAGA” mask when I do. Hispanics make up about 30% of the local population, but give me about 2/3s of the Thumbs Up or “Great mask” comments. Don’t know if that is significant or if Hispanics aren’t afraid to express conservative views.
Doesn’t seem to bode well for Biden in Arizona, though.

My wife was a nurse. Most nurses are liberals. Most black nurses....screaming liberals. One she knew well was “a devout Christian” who voted Democrat 100% of the time & saw no disconnect in that!

Used to be most people didn’t make bigass announcements about who/what they were voting for (outside of the obsessed political animals who live & breathe politics). Most folks just “did their civic duty”, went home, had some dinner and watched the returns (or went to bed & waited til the morning paper).

My wife was a nurse. Most nurses are liberals. Same here, she has a lot of relatives who are nurses. With few exceptions they are all liberals, especially the unmarried ones.

I don’t think it’s about government support completely because even self supporting black women think Republicans are bad. I think for some, they have been indoctrinated for forever that Republicans are racist and scary. As well as a distrust of white people. They get taught at church and in school and by the family. It becomes ingrained. I have some white friends just as brainwashed. I wish there was a way to break through it quickly.

There was a poll that stated Trump has almost 50% support among Latinos in Miami-Dade. If true Hiden won't have a chance in FL either.

I’d bet she isn’t surprised at how many blacks are voting for Trump.
To: terart
She said her husband was retired military now working for the government and she quietly, without saying the word "Trump", said she and her husband have to keep quiet concerning their vote and politics because they would have very little friends left if they admitted it. She is from Philly and also thought there would be a lot of upcoming fraud.Black and Hispanic citizens have to be careful who they tell... same with older whites. Lots of hotheads on the democrat left.

If you ain't voting for Biden, you ain't black. Those words will haunt him.

Later posts talk about the increasing Hispanic support. That reminded me of Biden’s comments at some Black & Hispanic conference:
“...NPR’s Lulu Garcia-Navarro pressed the presumptive Democratic nominee if he would “re-engage” with Cuba as president, something she suggested would have an impact on Cuban-American voters in Florida.
“Yes, yes,” Biden responded. “And by the way, what you all know, but most people dont know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.

I work in a hospital too. In southern NJ, specifically in the Emergency Department. Most of the staff know I'm a Trump guy. I've shared here that I've had a number of people, nurses mostly who quietly tell me "I'm voting for Trump''. While that's gratifying on one hand the thing that saddens me is everyone of them, unknown to the others I'm sure, all do this curious side ways look as if to make sure no one is listening in.

An “unmarried woman” is married .... to her government. And she loves anyone who promises her more government security.

a black friend... told me that a surprising number of black men will vote for Trump and... keep it to themselves. He said black women, for the most part, are a lost cause. Is his name Tommy Sotomayor, by any chance? :-)
