This is actually terrible for so many reasons. Firstly it justifies the ludicrous GOP project of bringing minorities on board while completely ignoring their White base. Secondly it will reassure most normal conservatives and act like a sedative that again lulls them into the dream of a multicultural, utopian, constitutionally based and small government Republican future. This will be the headline now at every CPAC conference and if in the 2022 midterms the GOP gets a good Hispanic turnout then that will be the thing they dine out on until the next Presidential election. 'Hispanics save the GOP!'.

The GOP needs to be gutted and completely reworked or replaced and this is the type of news that keeps that horrific monster on life support.

I know. I'm just astounded at the Democrats' insanity. Why are they doing this?

I don't know either. There's a element to their ideology which sort of means they can't help themselves I guess. They have to double and triple down on these exotic and off putting social obsessions otherwise they look positively reactionary to the people whose opinion they really care about which is other urban, well educated professionals.

I also don't think there's enough of a compelling narrative -- outside of a big bad Republican enforcing borders and making kiddies cry -- around Hispanics to set them apart in the victimhood narrative.

Take film as an example. I mean outside of made for and by Hispanic stuff you don't see heaps of representation on film or TV. When you do they're usually extremely Castilian in ancestry -- like that lovely Cuban from BR 2049.

I love the scene where she looks like a 1950s housewife serving dinner. It's 100% reactionary.
