He won the Latino male vote. People are stupid.
there are gay Republican voters
Peter Thiel who is financially sowing the seeds to all this is gay... Imagine paying for the people who will inevitably want to destroy you.
Some of the most hateful racists are quite often the first (or even zeroth) generation immigrants. They have experienced enough racism that they decide they want to be on the winning side and "prove" themselves to be One Of The Good Ones. Its why a LOT of AAPI "kids" semi-jokingly say "My mother is an asian white supremacist...". And... why so many of us have gone low, if not no, contact as adults.
And its worth remembering. You know how it feels like EVERY Irish American family have like twenty cops in them? That was a conscious effort in the late 19th/early 20th century with many of the Irish gangs effectively becoming the police unions we still know today. People often don't realize that the Irish are "the n-words of the whites" in the US. A "good" comparison is how the Romani and Travelers are... still treated in large parts of Europe.
But if you are the child of immigrants? You learn that real fast because your parents use that as an example of "fitting in".
All of which is to say: There is a reason only the most privileged of white folk were shocked when Male Hispanic voters made up such a large part of fuckface's base.
... I don't think you understand what "gatekeeping" means...
Unless your point is that you are angry your socioeconomic group isn't getting credit for being an even bigger part of fuckface's reelection? Or that you aren't viewed as privileged enough to be THAT naive?
Aside from that: I think there is a lot of value in understanding the demographics and the reason behind our christofacist regime. Because... only the most privileged of white folk THINK they can ignore it.
Especially when said demographics and understanding explain why two of the most famous murderers in the country AREN'T white.
that reason is that latinos are not a monolith and that they could be from one of 20 different countries.
Of course, he tried to make Mexico pay for a wall to block themselves off, now he's trying to make Mexicans deport Mexicans. It's a power thing for him, not even about money.
Don't be racist. /S
I don't this racism is the authentic reason for what's happening. It's just the tool being used by them to achieve their goal.
