Being Texan, I know where they’re getting the wrong notion that hispanics are cultural conservatives and natural allies. More on that in a sec, but as an aside, even if that were true, WHY would the GOPE be jettisoning social conservatism as fast as they can while trying to bring in hispanics?? Hmmmmm? Makes no sense.
Where they’re getting this is from an older, more traditional-minded hispanic culture. Many of these hispanics are long-time natives to Texas. I know hispanics who have no record of who among their ancestors first entered Texas. The oldest ancestor they’re aware of was born in Texas. And those who came from Mexico but many years back, or whose recent ancestor came from there, are more traditional in their values. I know these type of hispanics and they are very real, not imaginary.
But they are a distinct minority now within the new cultural norms among much younger and less culturally traditional hispanics.
Rand has stupidly (or with malice) brought into a notion that simply is not true TODAY.
