ROMERO: This Cinco de Mayo, I anticipate that it will be Democratic Party operatives experiencing a hangover after the celebrations are over. What is needed is for the Party to examine its own stereotypes of Latinos as second-class Democrats who would remain submissive to the Party elders. Not so. And all the branding of Republicans as 'racist' has not built back our lives better. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, in which a smaller, poorly equipped Mexican force defeated the larger and better-armed French army. The victory represented a significant morale boost to the Mexican people in kicking out a would-be oppressor and helped establish a sense of national unity and patriotism. It has long been acknowledged as the 'ganas' - the will - to courageously stand up to the power of a Goliath without fear. Undoubtedly, Latinos are waking up to wokeism and understand that the political coyotes in the form of Democratic Party elites have abandoned what the Democratic Party once proudly stood for.
