Political Discussion and Commentary

highly religious

Religious, macho, hatred of other-Latin (Mexicans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Domincans etc. have a lot of interrelational hatred), and I-got-mine-ing (pulling up the ladder once they got their citizenship).

I remember 2016 analysis. Texas promised a lot of wall construction jobs. Florida threatened Castro's ghost was going be donated Miami by commie HRC and Biden in 2020. Latinos may be made to hate each other, by country of origin, or ladder being pulled out for those not here yet, for all I know.

By far the biggest indicator of Trump support/voting intentions is how much they consume "trans normalization outrage porn". Trump's baseless confidence that giving all of America to oligarchs will create more jobs can influence low information/analytical people as well.

In 1998 Clinton's secretary of state stent a SWAT team in to the house of some Cuban immigrants to kidnap a child who's mother died getting him out of Cuba but because his dad was still in Cuba they figured the best way to solve the problem involved point guns at people. Since that event Latinos have voted almost exclusively for Republicans.
My only hope is if there is ever another election they will finally find someone else to hate more than Janet Reno.

I might have the wrong attribution, but I think it was Regan who said “Latino voters are Republicans who don’t know it yet.”

As an American who didn't vote for fascism, I wish I could argue with you.

You think that it’s all just guesswork? Lmao good Satan please help me.

Its a shitpost that makes pearl-clutching liberals feel good.

Man = bad

White man = badder

🤷🏽‍♂️

This. There is no shot that around 85% of white men votes Trump. Not a chance in hell.

I’m not convinced he has cares about anyone. Looks like black Americans are the smartest men here.

I'm barely keeping my sanity from fraying, the last thing I need is to make it worse by surrounding myself with people I hate.

Or we could give their votes more power. Something like... each of their votes counts for 5/3 votes. I think that would be a fair compromise.

Blacks/Asians - Harris wins

Latino - Trump wins

Largest Minority hurt by Trump - Latinos

The sad thing is I find it hard to believe many would vote any different today.

Propaganda works.

(Happy cake day)

They failed and blamed BIPOC for their loss while white men and women are why Trump won. And I'm a white dude who voted for Harris.

And then they claimed they support Black Lives Matter. Brown people matter if they win, they don't care and will blame you if they lose.

Latinos, especially first generation immigrants, trend strongly toward being staunchly religious and socially conservative. As such, they tend to think Republicans, who are also religious conservatives, will be on their side. There's also a subset of legal immigrants who hate illegal immigrants. Add in that first generation immigrants often aren't fluent in English yet and that creates a layer of information exchange that conservative news outlets can exploit; if you don't translate the overtly racist crap the politicians say, you can make your audience rely on your white-washed commentary.

As for the folks who's families have been in the US for generations and who grew up fully bilingual in English and Spanish, I'm honestly not sure.

Pop culture didn't do that, billionaires who own all media did that.
