Hispanics explain how Dems lost their vote

 Fox News:

Three Hispanic Americans weigh in on why minority voters could be abandoning the Democratic Party.

"The Democrats really lost working-class people," Chris Formoso, a first-generation Cuban, and father of four, told Fox News. "These people have absolutely lost their minds. There is no way we could vote for them, especially when Republicans have been more focused on the issues that matter."

A Puerto Rican man, Hector Olmo, who is now a retired cop living in New Jersey, said Democrats use handouts and rhetoric to appease minority voters while keeping them from achieving real success.

A Cuban immigrant, Maria Lorenzo, who came to the U.S. more than 50 years ago said the Democratic Party embracing socialism and ignoring its policy failures has caused them to lose support among Hispanics.

"I can’t talk about all the Hispanics, but most of the ones I know, they are fed up with the Democratic Party," said Lorenzo, who came to the U.S. as a child from Havana and became an American citizen on her 18th birthday.


"People here have a lot of misconceptions. They studied communism in school, but I lived it," Lorenzo told Fox News.

"Most of the Hispanics, especially the ones that came from Cuba and Venezuela, they came running from communism. And they see that this country, the Democratic Party, is leaning towards that- toward socialism, towards division."

Lorenzo’s parents instilled in her and her sister a strong work ethic. In his pursuit of the "American Dream," Lorenzo says her father refused to accept any government handouts.

Her top priorities as a voter are maintaining small government and defending the first and second amendments.

Data shows that Democrats are "statistically tied" with Republicans in congressional ballots when it comes to the Hispanic vote. A surprise when compared to 2018, when the Democratic Party held a 47-point advantage with Hispanics in the midterms.

Hector Olmo, a Puerto Rican retired police officer living in New Jersey also believes Democrats are embracing socialist ideas and turning away Hispanic voters.

"We moved here to be independent and to be our own thinkers and be as successful as we want," Olmo told Fox News. "With socialism, where everybody’s on an equal table--it's a nice idea, but it doesn't work."

Chris Formoso, a Cuban-American living in Florida said Democrats have lost touch with the working class, including Hispanics.

"They focus on the wrong topics," Formoso told Fox News. "I keep hearing about January 6th, I keep hearing about gender identity and the importance of that, and of oppression and racism. I'm a minority-- I don't feel any of that," he said.

"What I care about is keeping things affordable for me and my family," the father of four said.

There is more.

I think some Democrats have further alienated Hispanics by responding to the election of a Hispanic woman in South Texas to Congress with insults.  What Democrats think is important is inconsistent with the values of many Hispanics.
