Hello and I thought it would be very interesting to this premium podcast of the Lotus Eaters that's hosted by me Harry and I'm joined by Josh.

Hello. And I thought it would be very interesting to go over some demographic information about the voting patterns and policy preferences of different demographics in America,

because I have often seen this idea put out there, mostly in regards to Cuban Americans who come over to Florida and vote for Republican,

that the progressives that we get coming over in the West at the moment could be stemmed,

we could prevent it from taking quite a hold in our institutions and across our culture

if we simply imported a lot of based foreigners from Catholic or otherwise socially conservative countries to come over to our countries and they will

somehow shift the culture in a more conservative direction and defeat the progressives in some sense.

Now the most recent example I can think of and the thing that

really inspired me to talk about this was a debate that happened I think a month or two ago between

Dave the distributist you're aware of him correct?

Of course.

And a centrist twitch streamer called Counterpoint's I think is his name.

I've heard of them as well.

And it was a very amusing debate and got far more heated, Dave got far more heated than I've ever seen him in any debate before.

But counterpoints made the point that, oh well if we have more immigration coming into the country from Catholic countries and places like Cuba,

that's fine because they all vote Republican anyway. And I thought it would be interesting to look into this

because Dave counted it at the time with some information that made me want to examine it further.

I thought I'd examine it further with you and with you our faithful audience.

Because I haven't actually looked at the data yet, but I do have a background of looking at

data in academia so I would like to think I know what I'm doing but my sort of

initial thoughts on it before you've actually gone through and show me it because I'm sure my thinking will develop because I'm not really looked into it would be that it's sort of sugar for the bitter pill of mass immigration, isn't it? It's saying, oh, well, it's not all bad, right? It's a cope. But then if you had no immigration,

then you know the Republicans would win every time. Yes, that's my main thesis I think going forward and
