I guess there's some truth in it, but I woder why it just happened now. The same with conservative Hispanics. It's not like Democrats embrace social liberalism since yesterday. Even if they base their voting patterns on economic policy, not much has changed between the parties in a few short years.
What might also be a factor that some Arab Americans and Hispanics (especially Cubans) actually like Trump's strongman attitidude and would prefer an autocratic ruler. It's not a popular thing to admit in public or even discuss it, but in my view that's at least part of the explanation.
Nah, A lot of it is as time passes by memories of the 1990s fade so conservative Hispanics/Asians/Arabs have no reason to vote democratic. Clinton’s second term in particular made many immigrants like the democrats at first and Bush’s second term made many of them become democratic voters in the first election many were were eligible
So really I think much of this was inevitable rather than anything else
I doubt this has much to with Clinton and Dubya, whose presidencies are many years in the past. Especially in today's world, 15, 20 or 25 years is many, many, many lifetimes in politics. When it comes to immigrants, I guess it's a missconception all of them are in favor of increased immigration. Some are even more opposed to illegal immigration because they followed the rules and think others should as well.
Well many of them first started voting GOP in 2020 which is when memories of both their presidencies began to fade .
2008 which was the first election when many immigrants who moved in the 1990s could vote was obviously effected by the Bush factor given he was the incumbent
2012 was just 4 years after Bush and Obama along with making Romney seem like this super elitist also pushed how he was the 3rd term of Bush
2016 the democratic nominee was the wife of Bill Clinton
So 2020 really was the first election where a Bush or Clinton hasn’t been a factor in decades
