It never should have gotten here... I'm incredibly disappointed in Hispanic voters, especially males, SMH.
Many were folks who came here via some "legal" means who looked at those crossing during Biden and resented them. That hatred of folks just trying to find a better life now has an entire gestapo ready to arrest and deport anyone who looks too brown to be in American.
They thought that all that paperwork made them whole in the Republican eyes. They thought those words saying they were a citizen was enough to made confessed racist look the other way. But an administration that doesn't care about the law, doesn't care about what status a sheet of paper says.
That's what's so crazy about letting your hate get to you. That hate comes back to bite you.
Yes, they let themselves get deluded by a strong man with an ego the size of Jupiter. All of this was painfully obvious to those that barely paid attention. This is what hate gets you, only more hate.
The majority of then grew up in a cult and would never vote for a woman. They have spent their lives in a fantasy world and only react now that reality rudely bumps into them.
blacks, asians, muslims men went for trump. via roegan, jordan peterson and other right wing grifters that assisted them into the manosphere.
STOP. LUMPING. BLACK. MEN. IN. WITH. THESE. SELLOUTS.
Black men were the LARGEST male group to vote for Harris. Im sick of ppl trying to claim otherwise.
Edit; also dont act like men only sold out the country. Trump's second largest voting block was WHITE WOMEN
A majority of White people voted for Trump (men and women) three elections in a row. Its unusual to treat the largest demographic in the county as a foregone conclusion and direct all ire at minority groups as a whole.
By all means, ire towards anyone that voted for Trump is acceptable but perhaps we should talk about who keeps voting for him over and over again.
or perhaps making generalizations about people based on race and sex is the inherent logical flaw of racism and sexism even if you feel you have the moral high ground.
trying to find who to point the finger at is the conservative solution. the problem lies deeper. it's in our social media, our news, our socio-economic struggles, and our culture of "rugged individualism".
like yes, the racism was always there but it was waning before billionaires got their claws into our social media feeds. and that issue goes WAAAAAY beyond America.
just like when Trump was crazy for saying covid was a hoax aimed at him even though it affected the whole world, it would be crazy to blame this GLOBAL shift to right wing authoritarianism on any one race. are white people responsible for modi?
blaming white people or men could only possibly serve to Make people angry. it's not a solution oriented approach unless you're willing to go full genocide.
-a white male who despises Trump among others and has worked hard to fight against him and is tried of somehow still getting blamed.
I've been seeing more "this minority demographic is to blame" from so called white liberals so I feel its important to challenge that notion and make it clear that the majority demographic has put their support behind Trump for three consecutive elections. In fact the majority of the majority demographic has voted for the Republican candidate since the civil rights act passed in 1964. Minorities are the only reason we've had any Democrats in the White House since then.
I agree with you generally. Pointing fingers is not a productive long term strategy. The only complicating factor here is that there are a sizable number of Trump supporters that are also Christian nationalists. Its hard to counter a racial supremacist ideology while ignoring race.
My philosophy is that looking at such data and recognizing trends is important in understanding how/why we got here but applying generalizations to an individual based on data is unproductive and reductive. I don't think all Hispanic people are responsible for Trump's election, nor are all White people.
like yes, the racism was always there but it was waning before billionaires got their claws into our social media feeds
I stopped reading after this. Racism was waning my ASS. White America voted OVER 50% for that jackass while being the largest voting block in the country. It's white ppls fault.
How the hell do you fix anything when you ignore with whom the problem lies? White ppl are the ones who are overwhelmingly conservative regardless of class and education. Everyone else has this shit figured out except for a few dumbass latinos who thought they were white and are QUICKLY realizing they're not
you don't have to ignore with whom the problem lies, you have to keep going.
that's not the end of the puzzle. that's not a solution. it's only anger and blame. demographics aren't a goal or an answer. they are a guidepost with which we can do further research.
pointing fingers does nothing. we need ACTIONABLE solutions. otherwise you're just spreading hate and division. the who is useful to figure out the how and why. but if you stop there all you're going to do is incite blood feuds.
COVID-19-driven inflation under Biden. Inflation is very unpopular.
BS, if they cared about inflation they shouldn't have voted for Trump. Every news org and political correspondent was adamant in letting folks know he'd have a negative effect on the economy. "Tax breaks for the rich" were hammered over and over. At the end of the day we deserve this though. Unfortunately now it needs to be painful for the public to wake up, and that sucks for us all.
Citizens are getting harassed and brutalized by ICE. Prices are skyrocketing and unemployment is surging. The approval rating should be much lower.
Trump is doing what was promised. A lot of scumbags are very happy.
Right? Like it's weird so many people are saying "This isn't what I voted for." Yes, it is exactly what you voted for.
That's a lot of scumbags.
25% is on the low end of the Hopeless Dipshit Constant(TM), i.e. 25 to 33%.
Ugh, this is like the whole tipping thing. Used to be that it was 10%, now it’s 25-33%?
There has always been a big undertow of awful anti-intellectualism/conservatism in this country. Only twenty-five percent is probably being optimist.
Don't get it twisted, white Latinos voted for exactly that, delusionally thinking that the only ones who would be harassed and deported were Latinos less white than them. They're only opposed more because they found out that the WASPs didn't consider them white the hard way.
Huh... Would you look at that
Stupid is as stupid votes
That headline implies they supported him before. So... Meh. Have the day you losers voted for.
Leading up to the election:
Frantically trying to explain that if you put your hand in the fire, you're going to get burnt.
The election:
"Stupid snowflake librul cuk! Would it trigger you if I do... this!?" puts hand in fire
Since election:
"Ow! My hand!!" 😢
25% of Hispanics still approve of Trump? Holy hell, I thought 2020 showed us how stupid humans can be, but this is on a whole other level!
I tried so hard to convince some of my fellow Mexicans the repercussions of voting for Trump, I even passed them a copy of the Project 2025 playbook. They still voted for him and are dumbfounded that ICE is dragging them away. Fuck 'em is all I can say.
I mean, in 2016 he literally campaigned on a platform of keeping Mexicans out of the US. It’s wild that any Mexicans in the US can see that and go “he’ll be the person to do what’s best for me!”
In the first term he just was terrible to those trying to cross the border. If you were already in, his first term was largely nothing if you don't care about others.
This term has been going after people already here, and rounding up and us citizens and looking to remove legal status for those that have it.
Eh, fuck em.
Fuck who? An entire category of people? Seriously?
Nazis are a category.
Evil/cruel people who continue to support trump are a categpry.
Idiots who were continuously told/warned/pleaded with about the catastrophic, cruel, and evil results of another trump term but either thought that they were exempt (but were still OK with the plan) or thought they were super smart pudding brained geniuses and bought into the rw propaganda despite all evidence to the contrary are also a category of people.
Anyone dumb enough to vote against their own interests because the candidate hates the same way they do.
Every single racial minority that supported Trump should be forced to donate their bodies to science whenever they die.
That way we can find out what type of brain tumor causes someone to become the ultimate, unceasingly submissive bitch/cuck.
It’s lead. I’m sure it’s lead. Decades of lead poisoning from gasoline is the reason.
The one I know definitely has Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam. Then again, he bragged about his war crimes to me as a kid, so we was always a cruel person.
I mean. I have no idea why the fuck any of them, no matter how "conservatives values" they might have been, would have supported this dumbass. Did they not even see Stephen Miller in his first term?
It's still 25%? What. The. Fuck.
Bro Spanish language radio in South Florida is absolutely wild with the propaganda. I wasn't in the least bit surprised when I saw the polling numbers.
Is that aimed primarily at Cubans? What is an example of some of the propaganda?
Not just Cubans, but the Hispanic culture by and large in South Florida is that of machismo. So having any amount of empathy is seen largely as a weakness. And I wasn't a regular consumer of the Spanish radio but every time i was scanning stations I would inevitably come across an Español tucker Carlson, or sometimes tucker himself. Talking about how we need to close the "open border", and Democrats want to turn everyone gay. You know the typical red meat for chuds.
Democrats want to turn everyone gay
🤣
I don't even know how that would work in practice if Democrats (or someone else) even wanted that to happen, which they don't.
No shit Sherlock. The death camps tend to upset people who get targeted by the secret police.
The question is why the broad community didn't see this coming, to such a large degree.
Especially when he openly said it was coming, over and over again.
I know Trump lies a lot, but when he says he's going to do something that causes pain to everyone but himself, he's generally telling the truth about that.
Anecdotal from the Mexicans I know that voted for him, I think a lot of people convinced themselves that he was only going to go after the “illegal” by THEIR definition Hispanics; Guatemalans and Venezuelans that are bad at “working hard” and it was going to free up resources for their hard working, attempting access via legal means, family members to enter. I tried to explain why this wouldn’t be the case but it fell upon too many deaf ears. Your anecdotal evidence might vary from mine though!
My sister in law worked among a lot of Latinos for various jobs, and one of the first culture shock moments was when she realized how many slurs were casually thrown around, between the various groups, depending on who was a first-wave immigrant, and where they came from, etc.
She speaks Spanish fairly fluently, and knows a bit of Portuguese, but looks like a typical suburban white lady, so many things were said within earshot when she was first on the job, LOL.
So what you are saying seems like something that definitely tracks. People probably just thought that "other group" is going to be targeted, but not us, we're from the right country, we voted Republican, or we've been here first, etc...when the truth of the matter is that someone like Stephen Miller just sees brown people speaking a foreign language, in "his" country, and wants them ALL gone. Even the citizens.
