How can Latinos not realize how much Trump hates them? It's his main topic, how the dirty immigrants are pouring across the border bringing crime and taking American jobs. He and his cronies say it over and over with every speech.
Because they're not immigrants anymore, he's not talking about them, you see, they're white now.
Irish and Italians did something similar for a while.
Because they got there legally, he's not talking about them. Except they don't realise that they're voting for a world where border patrol will still harass them based on how they look.
And by their names and associations in a database somewhere. I bet there are even some cowards that think voting for him will somehow save them. (Spoiler: It won't, and he's laughing at these fools helping exterminate them.)
Kris Kobach removed Kansas voters from the voters’ roll because they had foreign-sounding names (many hispanic). Sure, he got in trouble for it in court, but it was too late to affect the election results. And Trump later appointed him to his election interference commission.
They have the database already. Minorities will be targeted regardless of citizenship.
I've met two immigrants who came in illegally then got citizenship who support Trump, too 😒
Their Spanish channels are ridiculously overrun with right wing propaganda. My wife is Venezuelan, and it's crazy the crap her parents believe. And they are sweet, non-hateful people. But they live in a little bubble where all the news fed to them is through a right wing filter, and they don't believe it because it's not like they're watching Fox News or something.
@Gerudo summarized it best. Fuck you, got mine.
