    I’m 2nd generation and I disagree. My family tends to vote Republican because of their strong Catholic beliefs. My grandparents are good people, they’ve lived here for almost their entire lives (came from Mexico when they were young) and have always voted Republican because they believe the Republicans do more to protect religion. They’re not “uneducated” or “easily manipulated.” They simply think that the Left wants to take away things they have always felt very strong about, which is family and religion.

        Democrats are no better. I mean, I grew up being told I’m deprived because I’m a minority, and that I should vote Democrat because of this reason. I remember literally being told by a teacher in 5th grade that I HAVE to vote Democrat because I’m Mexican. Democrats have done an excellent job manipulating minorities into thinking that they can only vote one way…

            The teacher said, “I HAVE to vote democrat”, so that means I have to go the rest of my life not voting for democrats, even if it’s in my best interest, or else the teacher wins.

            Really shows how petty and illogical humans can be.

          none of that has anything to do with what I said, go seethe about democrats on your blog, I don’t care what your 5th grade teacher said because it has nothing to do with democratic policies

          The argument isn’t as vague as it seems. The only way America is ever truly going to be great again is if we reduce military spending, strengthen education /social programs and tax the rich. It really is a war of the have and have nots, at the end of the day.
