Urban Conservative Shift: Why Cities Like Miami and Brooklyn Are Turning Red

Are cities turning to the right? For decades, urban areas have been the epicenter for the rise of leftwing politics both here and abroad, but stunningly, all that is changing. Cities are becoming more conservative! – Urban areas like Portland, San Francisco, and Southside Chicago face rising crime, violence, and depopulation.

– ore urban populations, domestically and globally, are shifting to the political right.

– Latinos, particularly in cities like Miami, Houston, and San Antonio, are defecting from the Democrat party due to conservative values.

Urban America is socially and culturally imploding. Cities like Portland, San Francisco, and Southside Chicago have been described as open sewers, cesspools of murder, violence, theft, drug addiction, and homelessness. Over the years, the murder rate has skyrocketed in cities across the nation, and 50% of those cities are experiencing a mass exodus in depopulation.

Baltimore, once one of the 10th most populous cities in the country, has seen its population drop by over 300% since 1980. There is a rather simple explanation for this dramatic social degeneration:

The blame for this urban deterioration rests entirely with the leftwing politics that have dominated our nation’s cities for the last several decades. For the last 60 years, the vast majority of urban America has been governed almost exclusively by Democrats. Now something extraordinary is happening in our cities. Researchers are finding that more urban populations, both here and abroad, are turning to the political right.

Brooklyn, New York in 2012, voted for Barack Obama by an astonishing 82% of the vote, a 65% margin. 8 years later, that margin shrank for Biden by 10 points. Two years later, in 2022, the Republicans broke through and swept southern Brooklyn, winning 3 of the 4 state legislature seats. This wasn’t just seen in Brooklyn. The boroughs of Queens and Staten Island also showed significant shifts to the right in the same time period.

In the last New York gubernatorial election, which was in 2022, the Republican vote increased in all but 1% of the city’s more than 4,000 precincts. The most dramatic turn to the right in the entire nation is the city of Miami, Florida. In 2022, Democrats were stunned to see Miami-Dade County, which historically voted 2 to 1 Democrat, flip red. Miami is now becoming a powerful Republican stronghold that signals a growing trend among a number of other cities as well, including some of the biggest.

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson recently switched parties. This is the ninth largest city in the nation that officially became red. Why are our cities turning to the right? One of the major reasons is the increasing defection of Latinos from the Democrat party. It’s being widely recognized that Latinos, who are inordinately more traditionalist, religious, and pro-life, are finding themselves more attracted to conservative politics.

This has been especially the case in Miami, where Cuban and Venezuelan voters have abandoned the Democrat party that they see as increasingly resembling the progressive socialism that has taken over their native lands from which they fled. In Texas cities like Houston and San Antonio, the Democrat margin among Latinos dropped by nearly 20 points since 2016.

Another trend involves non-white working class voters as a whole. As a new populist-driven Republican Party becomes more of the party of the working class, increasingly black and Latino voters in particular are naturally turning to class politics as opposed to identity politics and as result, President Trump now enjoys a higher approval rating and support among non-white working class voters than any Republican candidate in the last half century.

Another major reason for this shift to the right among urban populations promises to be even more enduring is that our nation’s cities are experiencing a dynamic known as religious and ethnic fragmentation. Similar individuals are increasingly clustered within distinct geographies, institutions, and subcultures. Our nation’s cities are actually becoming highly segmented around racial and religious identities, and these more traditionalist identities are increasingly rejecting the ideological wokeness of the progressive left.

For example, New York’s Asian neighborhoods have shifted 23 points to the right since 2018. One of the key reasons for this is that religious and ethnic urban enclaves find woke ideology increasingly repulsive to their far more traditionalist values and beliefs. They are together seeing the Republican Party as a bulwark against the rise of radical progressivism and its failed social policies. As our cities continue to become more segmented along religious and racial lines, ironically, they are becoming less Democrat.

Traditionalist populations are significantly far more fertile and pro-natal than their secular liberal counterparts. The conservative values that undergird these communities are only going to continue to grow! Of the 600,000 Jews that live in Brooklyn, more than half are now Orthodox. Twenty years ago, 59,000 students were enrolled in Orthodox schools. Today, that number has risen to 85,000, a 42% increase. If current trends continue, our nation’s cities, once a bastion of Democrat liberalism, may indeed become the most conservative strongholds of them all!
