rural Hispanics and whites voting and why

A couple of interesting reads I think will shed some light on the subject

One quote from the Rollcall article stood out to me

“When they do show up, it’s 22-year-old kids from the Ivy League,” Sadler said. “And they’re telling you what do, as opposed to stopping and listening.”


It reminded me of a You Tube video by a classical liberal German that I subscribe to.
