    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.

          You remember we are talking about conservatives, who are conditioned to shut off their brain, avoid any critical thinking and take what ever “good” people tell them as though it were gospel.

          Conservative politics, as John Staurt Mills pointed out, attracts.stupid people. Not.all conservatives are stupid.of course, many are just grifters etc.

          “I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative” h . John Stuart Mill

          And Cipllola defines a stupid person as someone who hurts others even if they hurt themselves.

          You have the perfect intersection here of conservative and stupid.

      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.

          If you don’t offer voters a good candidate, then you will lose the election. Saying “I’m less evil than the other guy” won’t be enough.

      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.

    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.

    And this is why Trump is going to create an emergency or declare war before the 2026 elections.

    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?

    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!”.
