They won't return, he thinks, because they've learned a lesson the Jewish community has long had to learn:

"Jews have many generations’ worth of experience with right-wing antisemitism. Many of us understand, I believe, that whenever bigotry of any kind is given free rein, we’re always next in line.

And sure enough, rabid antisemitism is surging within MAGA, which should surprise absolutely nobody."

"As I see it, Hispanic voters are now learning a similar lesson. Until this year many of them could brush off evidence of right-wing racism, including Trump’s tirades about Mexican rapists, as unlikely to affect their lives. Now they’re seeing friends and family grabbed on the street by masked government thugs. Many will never trust the right again."

Paul Krugman notes the sharp turn back to the Democratic fold that many Latino voters who went for Trump in 2024 made in the recent elections. He thinks the 2024 turn had to do with anger at rising prices blamed on Biden, and a refusal of many Latinos to take Trump at his word that he'd begin rounding up and deporting immigrants.

Krugman thinks Latinos won't be coming back to the GOP fold.
