One thing that's striking terror into the hearts of Lefties is word that all those groups they allowed in illegally (or imported) are doing something horrible.
They're assimilating.
If they'd been paying attention, or had a real grip on American history, instead of trying to rewrite it, they'd know the trend was coming. Pew noted some years ago that Moslems, to the tune of about 1/3, most of them young, were leaving the faith. Why, you ask (I know you asked, I heard you). Because of the freedom here.
Same with Hispanics. Michael Barone noted that, some years ago Hispanics were already settling in to being Americans (I believe I've retold the story of the young, obviously Hispanic, mom with 2 little boys in tow looking at the diorama of the assault on the Alamo at its height, asked who the guys coming over the walls were and she says, "The bad guys"). Give it a generation or 2. No sweat.
Orientals, fresh from Inja, Singapore, Korea, and both Chinas, are doing the same. It's better here. No poverty (if you're willing to work), no castes, no ruling class, no party chairman. Hell, Hop Sing's great grandsons are partners in Ponderosa LLC. Land of Plenty. What's not to like?
In America, if they ask about your ancestry, as often as not when you tell them, the answer you get is, "Cool". Everybody came from somewhere else, even the (American) Indians, who proudly call themselves American Indians.
All the race baiting and class warfare stuff is falling on deaf ears. What all the newcomers see is the focacta Lefties trying the same stuff that never worked at home and caused them to seek greener pastures and they want no part of it.
They like America.
Which brings us to the other 2 constituencies the Demos are losing. White women and blacks. Actually, I think they lost white women a long time ago. the Kavanaugh inquisition seems to have been the final straw, but there have been articles for years about women leaving their career ro take the Mommy track (this isn't the women who have a job because the wonderful welfare state has ensured a man can't support his family on his paycheck alone). The feminuts may clutch their pearls and reach for the smelling salts, but denigrating those women and suppressing what the newly minted housewives may like about life without Gloria Steinbrenner doesn't seem to be doing it.
The Demos have thought screaming about Clarence Thomas and abortion will save the day, but that train has also sailed. Ultrasound has been the worst thing to happen to the Left since the suburbs, The lie of feminism and the clump of cells was there for all to see. The drop in support for abortion may not have been all that noticeable, but the number of abortion mills closing has been.
We're not told about how many women suffered remorse and guilt after an abortion, but it seems to be a lot higher than the daughters of Margaret Sanger and Heinrich Himmler are willing to admit.
Which brings us to blexit, a phenomenon ongoing for at least a decade. Van Jones, one of the very few cool heads in DC back when Zippy was checking out all the mirrors in the Rainbow House, said if the Demos lost 10% of the black vote, they were finished. Now pollsters (I know) say it looks more like 20%.
You may well ask why now.
Like everything else, it's about the younger generation which in itself is enough to scare the Left (they loused up the schools to create masses of indoctrinated yoots).This leans on several things. First, 2 generations passed since Lynnon said he'd have them niggers voting D for 200 years and things are worse instead of better. This was aggravated by the George Floyd nonsense which, as always, destroyed black areas almost exclusively. Second, Zippy was supposed to be on their side. 8 years of the whitest black man ever made things miserable, but 4 years of a white guy who'd worked with blacks all his life showed how good things could be. Third, the race baiting appears to be getting old; no nightriders in Detroit, but the city turns a blind eye to black on black crime.
And that is the dirty little secret. Only whites want law enforcement, and that's only to oppress blacks, but the latest round of white Democrat-induced urban violence made blacks quit worrying about being Soul Brother Number 1 and come out with the fact they wanted the cops better funded. Only white guys and their house slaves wanted the cops pulled back.
Same with Brandon's 3 letter word JOBS. Demos have been talking a good fight for a half century. In 4 years, Donald Trump produced the lowest black (and Hispanic) unemployment in history (or at least since Appomattox). Times were good and, for once, they had their fair share. You notice things like that.
Especially when the faculty lounge crowd fronted by a leaden-tongued hack and racist brings it all down in a year.
Where this all goes is anybody's guess, but it would appear that stealing the election of '20 was the worst thing the Democrats could have done, or let the Davos crowd and Winnie the Foo talk them into doing, but I do think the American people are going to come out of this better and stronger. And much prouder to be American than we've seen in a half century.
I could be wrong.
We shall see.

I see it all the time. I have friends of mine from Muslim backgrounds that know their wines, microbrews, and bourbon and scotches down cold. They make no pretense of being Muslim.
Where the GOPe gets it wrong--don't pander and don't assume Hispanics want more immigration. They do not want things screwed up. They want opportunity, low taxes and the government leaving them alone.
Secular Moslems are much more common than the crazies, it would seem. They mere much in evidence until the Shah fell and then the Looney Tunes made it wise for secular Moslems to keep a low profile. We may be seeing an end to that.
As for assimilated Hispanics not liking the immigration policies of the Demos, this has been the real eye-opener of the last few years. They have not been at all shy to challenge the Demos in this regard and it's a big reason for their exit.
Also, don't discount the wokesters' use of white Hispanic as an epithet in accounting for Hispanic animosity to the Left. A great many Hispanics are light complected, if not Caucasian. Trying to divide Hispanics along color lines has been a bigger flop than the whole Latinx thing.
