This study employs a qualitative content analysis of 159 media texts produced in the first two weeks after Election Day. We find that the contradictions inherent in the construction of Latina/o/x voters—such as class, racial, and regional differences—are reconciled through revising old media narratives, like the "sleeping giant" metaphor, and the inclusion of Latina/o/x voters into other metaphors, like the "blue wall." In addition, a host of rationales drawn from racialized aspects of Latina/o/x history and culture, like religion, machismo, and anti-socialism, are used to explain voting behavior. Finally, new narratives emerged around Latina/o/x voters not being owned by the Democratic Party, which we view as disciplining. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
