Latinos Are Walking Away: Why Democrat Socialism Is Losing the Hispanic Vote

Talk Show Host/Author Chris Salcedo Heralds The Left’s Worst Nightmare In His New Book

Newsmax host and “proud Latino conservative” Chris Salcedo joins Gary Binford to unpack his new book—why an awake (not woke) Latino movement rooted in faith, family, freedom, and the Constitution is reshaping America’s future.

In this episode of United Patriots Uprising, Gary Binford welcomes Chris Salcedo—host of The Chris Salcedo Show on Newsmax TV, The Chris Salcedo Show on radio, and The Salcedo Storm Podcast—to explain how Latino voters are breaking old political molds and why that terrifies the left.

Why This Book, and Why Now

Salcedo’s new book, The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino: A New American Revolution, argues that a growing number of Hispanic Americans are rejecting cultural Marxism and returning to first principles: God-given rights, strong families, the rule of law, and the U.S. Constitution. The “nightmare” for the left, he says, is a broad, multi-ethnic coalition that refuses to be boxed in by identity politics.

From “Liberty-Loving Latino” to a National Message

Chris traces his “liberty-loving Latino” moniker to his early days at TheBlaze—an alliterative statement of identity (Latino) and allegiance (liberty and the Constitution). That framing differentiates him from “loud, leftist Latino” voices and centers an unapologetically American worldview that welcomes anyone who yearns to live free.

Breaking the Plantation Politics Mold

Salcedo pushes back on the idea that minorities must vote one way. He notes the pressure often comes from white liberal gatekeepers who police which Latino or Black voices are “acceptable.” The insults (“coconut,” “Oreo”) only prove the point: freedom, prosperity, safety, and the rule of law are not “white” values—they’re American values that belong to everyone.

Border Reality vs. Leftist Rhetoric

On illegal immigration, Chris makes two practical claims. First, legal immigrants who honored the process feel rightly insulted when the line is ignored. Second, many who flee left-run countries are seduced by “free stuff” at the border—until they realize those same policies reproduce the dysfunction they escaped. The solution: secure borders, lawful immigration, and real assimilation.

Why Many Latinos Bolted: Culture, Not Just Policy

According to Salcedo, Democrats opened the door themselves: from “Latinx” (a linguistic insult to Spanish speakers) to men in women’s sports and the erasure of male/female reality. That cultural overreach prompted millions of Latinos to look for a clear alternative, which they found in an America First coalition that actually contrasts with the left instead of echoing it.

A Candid Look at the GOP

Chris is blunt: without a bold, America First contrast, the GOP underperforms. Voters want conviction and clarity, not “bipartisanship” that means doing it the Democrats’ way. His book lays out how the movement grew under Trump and what it will take to sustain it—beyond one candidate and one cycle.

What Readers Will Learn

The shift: Why more Latinos are aligning with faith, family, freedom, and constitutionalism.
The playbook: How leftist cultural and linguistic engineering (e.g., “Latinx”) backfired.
The roadmap: Practical steps to advance a liberty coalition that welcomes every American.
The stakes: If America falls, there’s nowhere left to run—so now is the time to stand.
