(a non-American comment, discount as needed) I wouldn't go directly to "I got mine" but there is a trend in the Australian migrant experience that having benefited from the grace of welcome as refugees and migrants in times past, these communities become sufficiently integrated that their views reflect the majority: They include people who start complaining about migration waves subsequent to their own. I experienced this directly, with a Greek Cypriot (dehomed by the Turkish invasion of Cyprus) neighbour who was really down on the Vietnamese wave which came 10 years after.<p>There is also a huge component of Catholicism underpinning LatinX and Asian migration. We assume people are glad to get out from a hierarchy, but sometimes it becomes important glue to bind them to their culture. Having an election run along DEI, Abortion, Trans-right talking points was always going to alienate SOME of the community.<p>In times past I have assumed it was a mistake to imagine ALL the Cuban migrants to florida hated the Castro regime, and the blockade. I now realize that probably even the neutral state of mind erodes over time.<p>I still believe the Democrats lost this election. I don't go to Republicans "won" because the degree of passivity and 'not this time, sit it out' on the left is part of the erosion of vote, alongside the underlying shifts D to R in migrant and post-migrant communities. But the numbers don't lie to me: R and Trump got more votes than D and Harris. The numbers didn't work out. The get-out-the-vote didn't get the votes.<p>I also think SOME of these people may come to regret their choice, but far MORE will find signals of validation. The economic effects for them, as late stage mover-uppers may well be positive. They aren't post-steeltown workers facing the decay of the US manufacturing sector. They aren't hillbilly elegy, and they aren't in the fentanyl crisis. They're going to realise the benefits of becoming established Americans, and the pain on new migrants isn't really causing them any grief. Yet.
