Why gee, 8 months later, the latinos who inexplicably voted for the guy who spat right in their face finally realize he's not their friend?
MAGA voters of all stripes ain't too bright I guess...
I think a lot of it comes down to news and education. Every bit of media they consume assured them that Trump was a no-nonsense tough guy who would tackle head on some of the issues that were of genuine concern to them. There are billions of dollars that go into manipulating the landscape in all kinds of ways to make sure that is all they were presented with. And so, that's the basis they decided on. What else could they do?
Sure, you and me exist in a media landscape where that's a laughable joke, but I don't think you can necessarily blame them for not having lucked their way into the same places that we exist on. The white people, who were waving around signs saying "Mass Deportations Now" and then got all upset when it turned around on them, I think you can blame, but I think a lot of people of a lot of different ethnicities and backgrounds just got fooled by all the propaganda that is so polished and professional at this point.
But this was the first Trump presidency. They had gone through it before. They knew what was going to happen.
Attention spans are short.
You see how fast everyone totally forgot about COVID-19?
Attention spans are short is a valid explanation, but not a valid excuse to escape blame.
Oh, well, that's OK then?
Forgot about what, now?
Attention and political memory are very short, especially if you don't closely follow and understand the things being done in the legislature.
What else could they do?
Have memories that go back to 2016-2020
That is the thing that bothers me. EVERYONE that could have voted in 2024 was old enough to remember the first Trump term.
I realized how stupid people were when I was younger (late teens). I always figured that I had to out think a handful of people to accomplish whatever it was I wanted to do.
Mind you that there are a lot of people smarter than me (IQ) or that have more "common sense" but the combination of the two is rare.
Anyone with eyes should be able yo see how shit Trump is but they don't and it hurts my brain.
If you have any sense at all please run for local office and please push democratic socialist views.
They won't be able to vote, so it doesn't matter.
2028 will only be white, cis, land-owning men voting.
And even their votes won't count. The numbers will be mostly made up.
I was gonna say, I'm of the demographic and they'd still find a way to take my vote because of living in a blue city.
Take your vote because of (not voting the right way)
For the life of me, I have no idea how he ever managed to convince Latino voters to support him in the 1st place.
Latino culture is just very conservative by nature. There's a lot of factors, religion, (family) education, traditions and just how their communities operate. It's more telling that Trump literally has to threaten deportation or extermination to get them to break ranks than his rhetoric for the past decade, let alone prior to that. If Latinos didn't have brown skin they'd be the model republican. And somehow that drives the power center of the party up a fucking wall thanks to their racist views.
Latino guys in trucks working blue collar jobs feel more like white Republican guys to them than liberal democrats. Only problem is that the gop doesn't think that.
Chickens for McNuggets. The first rule of immigration is shit all over other immigrants.
Trump didn't win the Latino vote, Biden lost it. The same goes for the 2024 election. It was a rejection of Democratic Party establishment, not a Trump victory.
Any Latino who voted for Trump fucking deserves anything they're getting now. It's not like he didn't tell them exactly how he feels about them for the past decade of American politics.
I told my Mexican brother and wife that I'm going to laugh so hard at them when they eventually get deported, despite both being second generation Americans.
I love my brother but he married a racist piece of shit and is being influenced by her loud, obnoxious ass; I hope they both get what they voted for. Personally I'm not worried about myself because I'm light-skinned, have a white last name, and was raised white by my Polish dad, so I look and act white (brother and sister-in-law are very brown). Only other Mexicans can recognize my mixed race I've noticed.
I remember I would tell my dad over and over again "I hope you get everything your voting for, I hope you get the tarriffs, I hope you get the mass deportations, I hope Trump cuts interest rates to 0% causing inflation to skyrocket, I hope Trump cleans out the federal govt, I hope he does everything he says he's going do cause America needs to learn its fucking lesson"
I stand by everything I said.
America will learn nothing and millions of underprivileged will suffer enormously.
But hey, he promised: if you vote for me you'll never have to vote again!
And this is why Trump is going to create an emergency or declare war before the 2026 elections.
Does this demographic also have to be supervised at meal times lest they try to eat the cutlery?
It never should have been high, if they had only paid attention. Goes for anyone really, but Latino support was an oddity. This guy was going to help you? Really?
To all you Latino voters that voted for this pile of shit, especially you Cuban Americans in Florida that should 100% know better..
Fuck you and feed the leopard.
This just tells us they are just as stupid as whites. They could have seen this coming as easily as whites.
50% of both groups have below average intelligence.
Too little too late
Only -11 points? Thats all?
...now that it doesn't matter what is approval is.
Ya think
The leopards be feasting
But what about his love for jesus? I thought he loves jesus?
Just supply side Jesus.
Little late now, assholes.
As though "voters" matter any more.
womp womp
1.This soon won't matter since the plan is to purge the country of anyone vaguely looking latino. Remember the "homebrew" comment on El Salvador's prison expansion?
2.What kinds of latinos were supporting Trump? You can speculate. At least we know what kind was not supporting him: "Smart people don't like me!".
Crocodile tears.
Until he and his entire administration is dead and gone, this really doesn't matter.
Like sheep voting for a wolf. I mean he told them to their face " I hate you, you are not human, you are lower than dirt, and I will come after all of you"
I dunno, I probably wouldn't have voted for the guy.
