Embracing Change: Arizona Latinos Forge New Path in Republican Party

Embracing Change: Arizona Latinos Forge New Path in Republican Party


As a former Democrat, I used ‍to view the wall as a symbol of white supremacy. Now, it ​represents ⁤security to me. This year,⁢ I made the switch to become a registered Republican after the ‌attempt on Trump’s life. I ⁢decided to focus entirely on​ this campaign and dropped all my fall semester classes because I found a home in the Republican Party.‍ Proudly Latino‌ with dual ​citizenship,⁣ both American and Mexican, I felt overlooked⁤ by ​the Democratic Party⁢ as a young man of color. They seem to forget about men like me after elections⁣ and fail ⁣to understand ​our struggles and loneliness. In‍ 2016, I initially registered as a Democrat ⁣to support ​Bernie Sanders but ended up voting for Donald Trump when he lost. The Democratic Party seemed to push people like me ​out by not listening ⁤to our voices or concerns.
