Here's Why Asian Americans Shifted Right​

When asked, neither APIAVote nor Asian Americans Advancing Justice were able to provide an explanation. But several Republican-leaning Asian American voters I spoke with were not surprised by the shift.
“I had so many [South] Asians, who are registered Democrats, let me know specifically that they voted for TRUMP this year,” South Asian Coalition Chairwoman for New Jersey’s Republican Party Priti Pandya-Patel said. “I believe most were always ‘closet Republicans’ and now they are starting to come out.”

The voters I spoke with repeatedly mentioned a few key reasons why they and others they knew voted for Trump this election. The first was a dissatisfaction with the Democrats’ handling of the economy, particularly inflation.

“Many of us expressed discontent towards Biden’s energy policies that skyrocketed the costs of grocery prices and gas prices,” Nevada voter Lisa Noeth said. “Las Vegas specifically is like an island in the middle of the desert, the increase of fuel costs trickled down to the pockets of consumers at the grocery stores with goods being transported from California to Las Vegas.”

Tldr;

Nobody's actually shifting right. They're just not shifting left as fast as the democrat leaders, so they're recognizing "bat shit crazy" when they read it.

So, despite Trump's flaws, they're like "I'll take 2am mean tweets over full on Caligula any day".

They'd better hold on, because the Trump Train is running full steam ahead, and it has no brakes. Woo Hoo!

More like it's a steam train on a steep incline covered in wet leaves. The wheels are spinning at a furious rate but the train isn't actually going anywhere.

Still waiting for arrests.
Still waiting for relief and a restoration of my Rights.
Still waiting for SOMETHING other than boasting about how much "winning" they think they are doing.

Granted, hollow boasting is WAY better than the corruption, oppression, and disgusting behavior of the other side...

So instead of a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich we are left with a choice between a giant nothingburger and a turd sandwich.

You talk as if President Trump has done nothing good for our country. I'll start with him securing the border and making the left lose their minds.

Trump pressured US Attorney Siebert to resign and fired others for determining there wasn't enough evidence to indict Jumbo James when there clearly was. Trump replaced Siebert with Halligan, and Jumbo James was ultimately indicted. That was all Trump, I'm just saying.

There's more, but I just don't have the time to list all of Trump's achievements right now.
I'll do so later on today.

Personally, I think the DEI/Affirmative action policies didn't do the Dems any favors. Asians typically do well academically and get into Ivy League colleges more so than other races. But Obama and Biden both implemented and pushed policies to make sure that other races (read: black and brown folks) got in even if their test scores weren't up to par. I can see why every Asian Tiger Mom would be pissed about that.

This is it 100%.
Asians are successful and drag down the data or up depending on how you want to look at it for minorities. Democrats abandoned them because of their success and now they are following suit. They were democrats because the democrats claimed to care about them but then they dumped them for other minority groups. I will happily take the Asians on into our fold. Heck even some of the blacks and Hispanics are coming into our group because the dems abandoned the o es who are legal and successful. I welcome them as well.
The dems like failures so they can control that group and make them reliant on them. How many times have you heard he’s not black enough now because they are successful and well spoken. Sad that failure is a democrat benchmark.

Interesting.

On one hand there is a great deal of concern regarding the millions of recent US Citizens, born in China or Anchor Babies, and how they will vote.

On the other hand, is it possible they may be the next generation of Conservatives?

Elon Musk is one of a number of examples. Musk was considered to be on the left, then the left moved so far left that it put someone like Musk to the center/right.

The Democrat Party has been hijacked, the hijackers just kept the same Party name for reasons.
Nobody should be fooled by that. The modern-day so-called Democrat Party is not the traditional Democrats.

At this point, they're Democrats in name only. They're actually insurrectionists and are a threat to freedom, and all that is good... For the time being anyway... :evil:

Traditionally, at least in the 62 years I've been alive. The Republican Party and the Democrat Party in the end had sort of the same goals, wanted more or less the same thing, give or take. But they had different ideas of how to get there.

What I'm saying is that during that time, the Democrats didn't hate America; they were just retarded about things. IMHO. YMMV.

The times have changed, and commies still aren't people, that never changes.

The Right has not really shifted. Same as it was many years ago.

The Left has been shifting further and further Left for about 20 years.

The right has actually shifted quite a bit left since the 90s.

Half of the policies that Trump holds and gets demonized for were mainstream democrat policies just a few years ago.

Look at Clinton on immigration, or the LGB stuff for instance.

I tell this to people all the time and I get met with blank stares.

Them, "How can you support Trump, he's such a hardcore conservative ___________"

Me, "no he's not. Did you approve of Bill Clintons presidency? Oh, you did? Well if you look and compare, Trump is essentially running on the same policies that Clinton did 30 years ago, Trump isn't an extreme conservative he's actually pretty moderate, he's more aligned with traditional patriotic populist mid 90s Democrat policies than he is a modern conservative".

Them, lots of blank stress and confusion.


If Trump is considered an extreme conservative, then the entire political spectrum has shifted leftward and people are too stupid to realize anything other than what MSNBC or CNN spews to them.

Centrist politics has been moving left since the fifties in my observations, even decades earlier when I include my readings. The infiltration of big media and institutional education with communists and their useful idiots has the biggest roll in this movement.
