Some Arizona Latinos Find New Home Within *********** Party

“When I was a Democrat the wall signified white supremacy. Now it signifies security. This is the first year I switched completely and became a registered ***********. After the Trump ************** attempt, I decided to drop all my classes, my fall semester classes, and focus completely for this campaign because I knew that the *********** Party had a home for me. I am a proud Latino, both ********* and ******** citizen. The Democratic Party has a problem with young men, specifically men of ******. After the elections, they forget us. It does not understand men’s pain, the loneliness in men. It cares about everyone but men. In 2016, I registered to vote to contribute to the Bernie Sanders campaign as a Democrat. I was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. I was a Bernie Victory Captain. When he lost, I did vote for Donald Trump. I did the same thing in 2020. I’d say that I felt pushed out. In this election, there wasn’t even a single primary. We didn’t get our voice heard. They chose a candidate for us and they told us, ‘If you don’t vote for her, you’re a sexist.’ I felt like it had no place for a young Latino like me.” “We, as older Republicans, we welcome them.” “This ******** ********* woman gave me a little pamphlet for a prayer group. Blanca, she’s the wife of Gerry Navarro, who ran as a *********** in Santa Cruz. And she just was very nice treating me like a human being. And I saw this kindness.” “The younger Latino males want values that represent them, No. 1.” “I started to realize that Republicans aren’t anti-immigration. They’re anti-******** immigration. And the Democratic Party, they just kept telling me, ‘You are *******.’” “No. 2, they’re looking at the economy. They want to have a house. They want to be able to afford things.” “I just want to have a family. How can I do that when the Democratic Party is not focusing on the economy and making sure I have the ability to take care of my family?” “The Democrats are seeing Latinos as: You follow me because I’m telling you to. And they’re not going to fall for that anymore. There’s a definite bridge that we have started, and we hope to continue that bridge.”
