In reply to Koch brothers reach out to Hispanics

This is a phenomenon that has always interested me. The Koch brothers are not doing it because there is no there there. They have the best market analysis that money can buy.

Lefties look at the socialist impulses that dominate cultures of many Latin American countries and mistakenly presume that should be the same here with people originally from those countries. They forget that what they may be dealing with here is immigrants who left and came to the U.S. because they wanted something different from "the old country, "and their children who were taught an "American dream" vs. "the old country" narrative by their parents.

Personally, I think that "third way" and Democratic Leadership Council politics was partly knowingly addressing this demographic.

And I also think this phenomenon can be connected in some ways with the instances of animosity between Latino-American culture and Afro-American culture.
