TODD: There\u2019s a problem for the Democrats, and it has to do with the Hispanic vote. According to exit polls, 36% of Latino men voted for Donald Trump in 2020, which is up from 32%. They also helped the Republicans win some key House races, several of them, particularly in Texas and Florida, which Democrats thought they had this safely in their grip, in their grasp, in their claws.<\/p>\n

In an interview, the New York Times talked to a gentleman named Cortez, Mr. Cortez. He said he voted for Trump, in large part, because he believed Trump was handling the economy better. This is another sign of hope, another sign that the rationality of the American people is strongly in place. It is our job as one of our responsibilities in this time frame to help remind them of the irrationality of the left, particularly on fiscal matters.<\/p>\n

So Rush always said… He always said we\u2019re a country of individuals, not monolithic groups<\/a>. Well, the left is caught up with racial injustice and equality issues, issues many of these groups that they\u2019ve purportedly been fighting for like Hispanics, they just want to get back on message, their message, which is the economy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: …the idea that the Hispanic vote is monolithic. The left looks at every group as monolithic in their thinking: women, Hispanics, gays, you name it, that\u2019s how they look at them. We don\u2019t look at people — well, the Republican Party does. But I\u2019m talking about you and me, American citizens, “citizens of the founding,” if I can put it that way, we don\u2019t look at people as members of groups and then determine what they think.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019re conditioned to do that, but within the political realm, we believe that human beings are human beings. If you can reach \u2019em, the right message, persuasive, infectious way that you can get them to join us. It doesn\u2019t matter if they\u2019re gay, straight, male, female, bi-, doesn\u2019t matter, doesn\u2019t matter. I don\u2019t look at anybody as impossible. A lot of people have been propagandized.<\/p>\n

A lot of people do identify as members of groups, and the one characteristic those who do that is they all look at themselves as victims. And we\u2019re not about victims. We\u2019re about people reaching their potential. We\u2019re about people being the best they can be. That\u2019s what we want for the country. It\u2019s what we want for our neighborhoods and cities, communities, and so forth.<\/p>\n

Speaking for myself, I blanch at this grouping of people by virtue of skin color and sexual orientation and gender and all this. But I guess it\u2019s the name of the game in politics. The fact remains that there are Hispanics that vote Republican. There are conservative Hispanics. It\u2019s also true — and we don\u2019t need a poll to see it. Just look at the election returns in California, the election returns in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

The one state that is an exception is Texas. The majority of Hispanics vote Republican in Texas. I wonder why that is, by the way? There\u2019s no income tax there. It\u2019s a rugged-individualist state, as you well know by reputation. I mean there are all kinds of reasons to figure it out and understand it. But welfare states are gonna attract welfare staters.<\/p>\n
