Your mistake is seeing them as Democrat voters. Maybe if the Republicans had a brown candidate they would vote for them instead.

That's hilarious, you think Republicans would try that? It's been mask off for the open racists since Obama, they understand their base just fine.

The fact that Republicans wouldn't do that doesn't change the fact that there are undecided voters that would do that. If you think non-whites aren't capable of being as conservative as republicans, you're going to be disappointed time and time again.

Sure, we are all capable of the whole gamut of political opinions, it's foolish to gauge race as the only deciding factor. On that we agree. There is also a whole messaging thing that would need to shift for Republicans to appeal to a wider variety of people, which is what I was trying to point out. How many times has JD Vance spoke in narrow terms about "the white working class" , that's probably not a message that appeals much to a diverse electorate. I don't think the current Republican party would even tolerate Michael Steele at this point.
