We don’t know what the mil operation has for a plan, but until they walk away it’s not over.

Do you have a source for the not being able to vote in 8 years? I was wondering if any kind of amnesty legislation would follow the typical permanent residency to citizenship timeline, or if there'd be some kind of provision that would commute the waiting period according to time already spent here. After a quick Google search, I couldn't find specifics on the timeline from any news articles; I also couldn't find any specifics on the WH website, but I might've missed it.
As far as Texas going blue: I don't disagree with you. As far as I know, it can be entirely accounted for by demographic changes -- Hispanics currently make up roughly 40% of the population there, and the Hispanic population there has seen a roughly 20% increase in the past decade alone. Hispanics there are overwhelmingly Mexican and Central American, which tend to vote Democrat unlike their Venezuelan & Cuban counterparts in Florida.
Interesting fact: Hispanics of Venezuelan and Cuban descent in the U.S. have significantly higher educational attainment and incomes than Hispanics in the U.S. in general. It's almost as if education + first-hand experience of living in a leftist hell hole immunizes against adopting leftist beliefs.
As a whole, compared to the general U.S. population, Hispanics of Mexican & Central American origin might have experience with the latter, while lacking the former. Inversely, native-born U.S. liberals, also as compared to the general U.S. population, overwhelmingly have the former, while lacking experience with the latter.
In case you're wondering: I was born in Venezuela and became a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Thanks for providing a source for that.
Yeah, so, aside from labeling Q as anti-semitic, it seems like we both agree on everything surrounding the second point. At least, I agree with what you said and don't see it as conflicting with anything I said.
I don't doubt that you're a person of good will, so I'd really like to implore you to examine this message board with the aim of reconsidering the anti-semitic charge. Of course, you may have found anti-semitism on 4chan, 8chan, or Voat (sometimes even at TDW), but I'm hoping that you can draw a distinction between the vastly diverse communities that all simultaneously operated on those platforms.
Just to be clear, I brought up educational attainment and income as it pertains to political views specifically because the overall trend within the U.S. (education positively correlated with liberal views) often gets brought up to lend credibility to the liberal world view. But it's interesting to see the trend kind of reversed when examining only first and second generation Hispanics grouped by country of origin or heritage.
I think it highlights something that's missed entirely by looking purely at the overall trend -- namely, that we may get a different picture when also controlling for lived experience alongside education.
I haven't looked into it, but I'd also be interested in examining the trend restricted to other ethnic or country-of-heritage groups e.g. Eastern Europeans.
