The swing to Trump in Houston in Mexican-American neighborhoods, while not as large as in the RGV, was very large. In my mind, Democrats have much further to fall in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio. You shouldn't view us as being "safe", you shouldn't write us off and treat us like your possession. There's no special issue that Democrats can use to appeal to Hispanics these days and, frankly, the way Democrats talk about race today actively alienates Hispanics!
Goodnight and good luck! P.S. you should be scared of diverse suburbs because those are suburbs that are lower middle class and poorer - this is ultimately a class issue.
Nobody is doing that? This is quite literally a made up concept that people use against Democrats when no one is treating Latinos/Hispanics as such?
Also, to the latter point in what you said, so the "way" Democrats talk about race is alienating but the way that the GOP has talked about race and in particular Latinos over the last 5-10 years isn't alienating? Come on now.
Jamaal Bowman's tweet is kind of an example of this. While it is true that the GOP is an implicitly Caucasian identitarian party at this point, attempting to tie every R electoral victory to "white supremacy" is a bit reductive and can come across as patronizing to many POC voters (ADOS or otherwise). I wouldn't be surprised if the more doctrinaire and Buzzfeed-y Ferguson97's, GP270watch's, jimmie's, and BRTD's of the Twitterverse have contributed to the rising "hatred of whites" AMB1996 mentioned lmao

Not every POC group in America has the exact same relationship with whiteness and with White America. Lumping Black, Latino, Asian, mixed-race, indigenous, etc. voter blocs together as if we have some inherent solidarity with each other due to not being white doesn't make sense in an area that's dominated by one particular group, or where there are barely any non-Hispanic white people.
