[BREITBART] Sen. Marco Rubio
 ...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida...
(R-FL) told Breitbart News he believes a profound shift seen in the 2020 election in the Hispanic community toward Republicans and away from Democrats will continue to intensify as long as the GOP sticks to what former President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
taught the party.

"These are communities made up of people who value common sense wisdom and working class values," Rubio said when asked why Hispanic voters in Miami swung significantly Trump’s and Republicans’ way in 2020, a trend also seen in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.
The Cubans are still closely acquainted with Communism. People (including Dems) tend to forget that Texas is part of the USA because Texians (including Tejanos) didn't want to be part of Mexico. Juan Seguin was chosen to carry the Alamo message through enemy lines, that the Texans "shall never surrender or retreat." Seguín got that message through to the other soldiers on the Texian side. He then returned with men to reinforce the Alamo -- too late; it had already fallen.
"That’s what their life is built on. Those are two things the left has abandoned. You hear lots of people talk about whether it’s socialism. Socialism is a part of it. Socialism is a part of the common sense part of it. In their mind, if I were to step in the shoes of someone who maybe voted for Obama in 2012, then voted for Donald Trump in 2020, they would say to you, ’Look, I came from a socialist country. I fled it. Why the hell would we do that here?’ It makes no sense to them. So you see Democrats stand up and say, ’I’m not a socialist,’ and no you’re not. You don’t brand yourself as a socialist, but you support socialist things, and you support socialist leaders and socialist politics. It just makes no sense to them."
Rubio added that this shift will be "permanent" as long as Republicans remain focused on common sense values that Trump championed for the GOP moving forward. He noted that most people in the Hispanic community do not spend all day on Twitter following establishment media figures’ orders, but, instead, "they just live life based on common sense."
"The left has abandoned that," Rubio said. "I think President Trump was doing a lot of things based on common sense. In their mind, it made all the sense in the world. They don’t understand why their side is against it. And then working class values. Most of these people here don’t care what you do with your life. They don’t want to tell you how to live your life, who to marry, who to love, and so forth—but you’re asking them to abandon three or four thousand years of accumulated human wisdom because a handful of crazy professors have convinced people everything we knew was true is no longer true on things like gender, on this or that. These guys just got turned off by all that, and I think it accelerated through the summer on the pandemic and the rioting and all of that. I think that shift is permanent unless we as Republicans go back to being who we used to be—then we give these people no political home."
Rubio’s comment came as part of a lengthy exclusive interview with Breitbart News as part of Breitbart’s new On the Hill in-depth video series. Rubio joined Breitbart News for more than an hour here in Miami before Memorial Day for an interview at the Kendall location of Sergio’s, a local family-owned Cuban restaurant chain in business for three generations, since the mid-1970s—and discussed everything from that shift in Hispanic political support towards Trump-like Republicans to what Republicans need to do moving forward. Later in the interview, too, Rubio noted that average Americans—and people who fled socialist countries—can see that run-of-the-mill Democrats, even if they claim they are not socialists, are pushing socialist policies. He said he respects Sen. Bernie Sanders
 ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
(I-VT) because he at least publicly admits he is a socialist, unlike many other Democrats who try to hide it.
"It’s very funny you have a lot of Democrats say, ’I’m not a socialist. Bernie might be, but I’m not,’" Rubio said. "Well, actually, Bernie is honest about it. I actually like Bernie Sanders. I don’t like his politics, but he’s an honest, straight guy. He’s legitimate about what he believes in, and he’s not trying to hide it. These other people are like, ’Oh, I’m not a socialist.’ But you vote for all the socialist stuff? They’re all interlinked—if you’re there, you also happen to be anti-Israel. You also happen to believe America has a history of 240 years of horrible things and that this is the worst country in history. They’re all part of the same club."
