Just a reminder. Male Latinos are literally the reason Trump is in office right now. Kamala had the black and white support to win, but make Latinos swung like 40 pts hard right.
Indeed and racism played a heavy role while voting.
White racism yeah. If we removed the right to vote from white people and only let hispanics, asians, and black people vote then Harris would have won by a large margin.
So we're all in on not letting whites vote, right? https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2024
There should be a basic test of "are these actual problems" for voting, i.e. do immigrants actually hurt the economy, and most white people(who voted) would fail that test.
That's supposed to be the journalists work. But you have Fox News employees instead..
This is some bullshit, on several levels.
White people voted 42%Harris, 57%Trump.
Hispanics voted 51% Harris, 46% Trump.
https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2024 Does that look like a hispanic voting problem or a white problem?
Secondly, It gets complicated fast and I dont think can be easily reduced to "swung hard right". The "latino" vote is diverse and encompasses a lot of peoples: Mexico, central, south America, and Cuba (All pretty different folks with different political pressures, history, and biases) Immigration, economic opportunity, skepticism of the democratic party caring about them, anger about gaza and disapproval of Bidens justice policies broadly, and a general rejection of the economic status quo all factored in. By how much? Hard to get great polling data on that. But Biden and then Harris's message was literally that "nothing will fundamentally change", at a time when his approval rates were very low.
This whole comment thread is angry people shitting on Latinos as if they were the problem instead of white voters.
ZERO SYMPATHY!!! Those f'n idiots voted for it.
Unfortunately they're also a lot of Hispanic ICE employees. Like Jewish Nazis, they think they're "safe".
Morons
So they're fucking stupid then? He's been anti-immigrant since long before he was elected. What did they think was going to happen?
Deport the "bad ones." Not realizing that bad is having a skin colour away from mayo.
WHOMP
fucking
WHOMP
you were all warned and didn't listen. You thought it was okay for him to subjugate "those illegals" because you thought you were the "good ones" so therefore it was okay to harm those groups.
Fuck you and enjoy not having a face
Met a Cuban last year who was a "Fuck your feelings" Trump supporter.
I think about him a lot whenever Trump threatens Cuba.
If they were getting rich from this they would have ice on speed dial.
The real quote " thanks to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the shaky economy."
It's the shaky economy that is their problem. They didn't profit from the hollowing out of their community. They support the deportations. They got theirs. That's why support is flagging.
And they're all voting Republican again, because the Right To Work will make them rich.
Voting for things then getting mad at them is a Texas tradition. I had to stop talking to people because hearing people say "God damn [insert politician] rabble rabble rabble. I mean, I voted for him and will again, but fuck that guy." Somewhere in their brain files is a line that says politicians are untrustworthy bastards and instead of fixing it they make it a self fulfilling prophecy.
Catholisism is the dominant cult among them. Them falling for obvious lies is kind of par for the course
My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2016 because Biden was going to outlaw Catholicism, of all things.
to be fair how would they know? he only insulted Latinos every time he talked about them, called them rapists and murderers, and promised he would deport all of them... like are they supposed to be mind readers???
He repeatedly called immigrants (dogwhistle for Latinos) rapists.
i thought I'd already said that and realized it was corrected to "trailers and murderers". how is trailer even remotely similar idk. anyway fixed my comment.
Didn’t intend to contradict you. More yes-anding.
i know i just realized my comment had a ridiculous typo
All the people that can be convinced they are temporary embarrassed millionaires have been suckered by Republicans, Trump most of all. Unfortunately that includes people from all identity groups, although he really convinced poor and middle class whites the most.
Wow, what a bunch of fucking idiots.
Los morons
"We wanted you to deport the OTHER illegal immigrants from countries we don't like. Not us!"
Climbed the stairs.
Voted to have the stairs pulled up behind them.
Turned out they also voted to get kicked down from the platform themselves.
Frankly, such immigrant rightwingers are the only bunch that actually deserve the tender mercies of the likes of ICE.
(And for any knee-jerking "identity warriors" out there, never forget that immigrants are like everybody else and thus amongst them, plenty of people when they think they themselves are safe from it ("I'm alright Jack") are just as nasty hearthless and selfish "conservative" and even fascist as the Republicans)
...in my experience, first-generation-citizen demographics tend to skew hardest against undocumented immigrants; not sure whether that's because they put in the time, effort, + cost to secure their own citizenship and thus resent those who haven't done so in kind, or because they emmigrated to expressly to get away from their native demographic who comprise undocumented immigrants...
Yeah, my experience is somewhere in between.
First/Second Gens are anti-immigration. They're used to political corruption keeping them from advancing. They see the right as creators of business opportunity. There are plenty of ways to exploit cheap labor and they can move up the food chain pretty quickly compared to home.
They don't care at all about others in their situation; they'll step on whom they have to in the move up.
Honestly, it's the same view as a lot of the poor whites.
wtf did they expect?
They expected to become rich. They was the sum total of the thought.
What Texas media and social pressure told them to. That's why we shouldn't let billionaires and liars run the media
It's Christianity. A ton of immigrant Hispanics are extremely Christian and Republicans are historically the Christian party
i was gonna say that he can't even quote one verse from the bible but that tracks with the average christian., or at least conservatives. I'm not christian but i can cite multiple verses from the bible that i could reasonably say i like for one reason or another.
I've found that Matthew 6:5-8 is annoying to especially loud christians.
I am baffled someone actually didn't understand when a far-right white male politician says "illegals" they've always meant "people of color"
It's sort of like Springfield versus Shelbyville. To the people that live there, the difference is distinct and vast. To anyone on the outside, they might as well be the same place.
Hold on, let me check my stack of fucks....
Nope, I have no fucks to give to these idiots.
just goes to show some people will believe anything theyre told
