I'm sorry but, what the fuck is wrong with Latino men? Please explain this so my smooth ass European brain can understand!
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.
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).
highly religious
Highly patriarchal
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.
I might have the wrong attribution, but I think it was Regan who said “Latino voters are Republicans who don’t know it yet.”
All I see is one of the dumbest nations on the planet and a clear indication that things will continue to decline regardless of whether Donald Trump is wasting oxygen or not.
Dark future.
As an American who didn't vote for fascism, I wish I could argue with you.
Really guys
This is lemmy cmon, at least put in the effort to question the data source
How many of you even had an option to fill in your race on your voter registration form? My state doesn't even collect this info.
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
🤷🏽♂️
Idk to me this is just “you’re all fucked except the west coast”
Your comment is hilarious because you think you’re being facetious but you are accurately observing reality. “Pearl clutching liberals” lmao I love traitor lunatic babbling nonsense.
Updoots to the left
If you're white and on the left its time you started infiltrating these conservative spaces. I do, and as soon as they see you are white all you have to do is ignore 1 racist comment and these people open all the folds for you. Its time to get dirty with the people spreading the dirt. The right wanted a revolution? They'll get it.
Buy guns, learn to use them safely and effectively, stock up on supplies to defend your family and community if the worst happens.
You will inevitably interact with plenty of racists in that process.

I'll pass
Change has to come from inside
Believe me I have tried.
They're so scared of what they think is socialism, but what they describe is actually communism.
They don't know why either is bad, just that China has it and they don't want it.
Yup, you back them into a logical corner which should cause critical thinking and doubt. Just turns into "what about this unrelated thing?" Five minutes into the discussion you realize you can't convince them because they see politics as a team sport.
So the reality that was spoken/written during the road to the elections all over Lemmy, were Biden and later Kamala were supposed to win by a large margin, was a false and utter lie? A fabrication?
Okay good
Now what's to say this isn't another fabrication as well?
A lot of people aren't on either the left wing internet OR the right wing internet. They're just not on the internet. They don't even watch Fox News. The sum total of what they know about party policy is "Republicans = Christians, Democrats = Atheists".
this is what a lot of people don't understand. lots of churches during election season theres a lot of "apolitcal" messaging about "worldly evils" that just so happens to echo and complement GOP posturing, and then they encourage you to vote. and among the congregation if it's spoken about at all the understanding is that the GOP candidate is the "Christian" and the Dem is a tool of Satan. and then these people go home and avoid news because it's "worldly" or "i don't care about politics" or whatever, and come election time they vote for the "Christian" candidate like they were told to because they literally don't know better.
I'm a white dude, apparently one of the relatively few left ones. It's probably because of AuDHD, I grew up knowing what it was like to be in the out group. I lived full time in Honduras for a few years, and not with the military, so I kinda know what it's like to be an immigrant. I had to deal with their visa/immigration system there. It's not the same, I'm not saying that it is, but I've lived the experience of making community and friends and being reminded by the government that you don't belong here. I also got to see the immigration issue from the perspective of the people that are subject to it. A lot of these Trump fucks have enjoyed the luxury of never questioning anything, just cruise, watch your hunting shows, live in your bubble and recite your fox news/ tim pool bullshit. I know the type, and it is utterly inconceivable to them that the could ever end up in the out group, and it's a fucking interesting ride to be along for when they do end up there. Unfortunately, too few of them realize that they weren't just being singled out by the deep state or Satan because life is a show about them, and that that's just life for people in the out group.
White men I can understand (if not agree with). But come on Latinos, you should be fucking better than this.
"Immigrants are poisoning the blood of America"
"Yeah, ese. You tell 'em."
At least the ones in California appeared to know what was up.
Sorry but the sheer amount of black trump supporters I've met in the south would call this BS, and even setting aside Maga, there are plenty of black Christians that are conservative enough to still vote for Taco Orange. On the flip side I've met more people who are white or Latino that hate this dude's guts to never vote for the asscunt.
Latino men... You know he fucking hates you, right? Or at least, the base he panders to does.
I’m not convinced he has cares about anyone. Looks like black Americans are the smartest men here.
By random coincidence, eliminating women's suffrage is within the overton window of the Republican party.
I'm a white man in a rural area in the south. Black folks who don't really know me often seem surprised when they hear me say something anti-Trump. And honestly, I understand completely.
In 2020 black males had 80 Biden - 20 Trump and black females 90 Biden - 10 Trump. I'm generally color blind but it's hard not to see how american black culture is so much more attentive to contemporary issues and somehow pop culture managed to twist "woke" as a bad word. crazy.
Would be interesting if in elections only the most disenfranchised populations could vote
That's wild
