my family are Vietnamese Catholics, and the conservative rhetoric claiming to be on the side of Christianity definitely sways a good number of them. It’s really sad to watch

I think this has to be looked at group-by-group, similar to the "Hispanic vote". For Chinese & Japanese, it appear to be class-related; for Chinese & Viet, also communism-trauma related. And for Viets in particular, I'd also wager right-leaning Viet-language misinformation.

Agreed + there’s a whooooole lot of WeChat misinformation that millennials and zoomera are battling against, without the specific language proficiency to properly dispel misinformation and conservativism. And the filial piety that guilts younger gens from swaying elders

It would be interesting to have this conversation across Asian Am, Latinx, and Jewish studies... different phenomena to be sure!

Different but interesting resonances: emphases on religiousness, grit and resourcefulness, "traditional" gender roles, experiences of communism in home country, educational achievements...
