It New York TimesAnother false claim is made about the GOP base. This time, they claim that the “Republicans of color” distort the American Dream. These claims are not new. TimesAs they keep repeating their story that there is little diversity in the GOP, it looks like they may be under threat now from people like Congresswoman Mayra Flower (R-Texas), Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer-Ruth Green and Lieutenant Governor Winsome sears (R-VA), which have all recently won their races and represent the GOP. As they make gains with minorities, the GOP has seen its diversity grow in Congress.
It New York Times is in the camp that thinks “Republicans of color” should not be Republican. The majority of them believe minorities supporting the GOP shouldn’t think for themselves or choose the party that suits them best. They should instead switch to the Democratic Party. We have witnessed that minorities flock to the Democratic party, particularly in recent months, because of the economic failures, debacles at the border and Afghanistan, as well as other flaws, of the Biden administration.

New York TimesJazmine Ulloa, reporter:
“For decades, politicians have used the phrase ‘the American dream’ to describe a promise of economic opportunity and upward mobility, of prosperity through hard work.”
“Now, a new crop of Republican candidates and elected officials are using the phrase in a different way, invoking the same promise but arguing in speeches, ads and mailings that the American dream is dying or in danger, threatened by what they see as rampant crime, unchecked illegal immigration, burdensome government regulations and liberal social policies.”
Elle continued:
“But historians and other scholars warn that some Republicans are distorting a defining American idea and turning it into an exclusionary political message … The Republican Party is using it as a dog whistle. They are saying here is the potential of what you can have, if we can exclude others from ‘stealing it’ from you.”
In conclusion, she tries playing the “both parties are at fault” tune, saying:
“Yet even Democrats find themselves speaking of the dream as pessimistically as Republicans. Just as Republicans blame Democrats for destroying the American dream, Democrats believe the fault lies with Republicans.”
Despite the fact that the United States faces difficult times, America’s Dream remains strong. Ulloa could downplay this all she wishes, but Ulloa has been a beneficiary of the American Dream since she wrote for one the most popular newspapers in the United States.
