The fact that any of them voted for him is astounding. Did they not listen to a single word from his mouth about hordes of immigrants watering down the blood of America? Did they not see him drag a Hispanic celebrity (Nicky Jam) on stage, only to reveal, before the entire audience that he had no idea who they were, and in fact thought they were a hot woman?

Like a bunch of turkeys counting down the days to Christmas.

Doesn't really matter what they think of him now, they'll be in an El Salvador concentration camp by the time the next election comes round.

"Latinos" learning that thinking you're "white" isn't the same as having white privilege.

The question is, will voters learn from this? Will they understand that when the president and his crew are straight up Nazis -- and congressional republicans do nothing to stop them because they support a Nazi agenda -- that the whole Republican party is now a Nazi party?

There won't be any "reasonable" Republicans to vote for going foreword; they are all Nazis now.

More faces are needed to feed the machine

I feel great sympathy for everyone affected by unjust imprisonment and deportation.

That said, what the fuck did the Latinx people who voted for/approved of Shitler think was going to happen? He told you what his plan was. It isn't like he hid it.

"His whole life has consisted of nothing but lying, backstabbing, betrayal and treason. Who could have ever imagined he'd keep doing that?"

"I just don't understand why he betrayed Us, I mean.. he did nothing but campaign on open contempt for our people, but surely he cant be held accountable for that! This is just so unexpected and blindsiding us!"

I love my Latino brothers and sisters in the world but I will never understand why a single one of them support Donald trump. it makes no fucking sense at all.

No fucking way! I don't feel sorry for any Latinos or Hispanics that voted for Trump. Ya'll are traitors to democracy and our constitution for installing a dictator. You think people would learn from the dictatorship countries they fled.

Something something about leopards eating faces…..

Not betrayed. Victims of their own stupidity. A bunch of ladder pullers.

If only someone had told them ...

After all this still 28% approves? Guess I need to call the White House and ask to tighten the knot a bit more then? /s

Latino here, these people are morons

just like military vets,"suckers and losers, whats in it for them"-donald trump.

What's the word for leopard in uh.. Spanish?

If you voted Trump as a Latino, that's a special sort of stupid.

Fucking duh. Latinos here in Canada have been laughing at you.

LOL? Betrayed?

This is the fucking party, chuckleheads. They want you gone. Doesn't matter if you were born here.

Stop voting for these motherfuckers. Not one Republican should ever be allowed into office.

In 2020 the democrats were calling the border wall racist and they won, then in 2024 it was "we're the ones who are actually gonna build the wall, Trump's all talk." They literally tried to position themselves to the right of Republicans on the issue in order to win over the mythical centrists, and predictably what happened was that their support among Latinos broke down.

A lot of these people are religious and conservative, but were willing to vote for Democrats as long as there was substantial differences on race/immigration. But even if they were the "lesser evil" on immigration from a pro-immigrant perspective - something which they denied as hard as they could, by the way - if the difference didn't appear substantial any more, if it was framed in technical arguments about how to do it rather than moral arguments about what to do, then many of them no longer saw it as damning and voted based on other issues where they're more aligned with Republicans.

This is often what swing voters actually look like, by the way, and why pivoting to the right to capture them is often counterproductive. It turns out pivoting right on an issue where doing so directly harms millions of people so you can appeal to the dozen or so people who like Dick Cheney loses elections. Swing voters are a lot more complex than the idiotic "conventional wisdom" that just has everyone at a different point on a one dimensional left-right scale.

he was always going to betray hispanic people, the gop never liked them.

The thing is RELIGION. Most Latinx people are religious and more specifically Catholics. Abrahamic religions are extremely misogynistic and homophobic. All Trump had to do was show how much he hates women and the LGBTQ+ community and a lot of Latinx were willing to ignore his racism because they thought Trump would help them punch down on women and gay people. They thought they would avoid getting their faces eaten by the leopard by offing the faces of others in sacrifice to the leopard.

As a fellow Latino, I feel nothing for them.

I mean, what did they expect?

It sure sucks when a leopard eats your face.

Dumb fucks. It was obvious.

"Man says 'ow!' after shooting self in liver - more at 11."

What in the actual fuck did they think was going to happen? He spent his entire campaign specifically saying he was going to do this.

Oh darn! If only somebody had warned them about what would happen...

Barf. You guys were on the chopping block and you stuck your neck out for trump. I forgive you but how can you be so niave??

I’m just so entirely unsympathetic to absolutely any minority who voted for the overt racist. Like, genuinely, holy fuck, you are genuinely not allowed to be surprised by his racism. It is now, and always was, one of his primary features.

And I have a special tier of bafflement towards the handful of Arab-American communities in the upper Midwest that apparently voted for him, and are now shocked that his policies are way worse than the absolutely horrible and myopic policies of Biden. Genuinely: How in the ever loving fuck are you surprised by that? He tried to ban any non-Saudi Muslims from coming into the country in his first term. How are you possibly surprised. HOW.

Whomp whooomp.

Trump could not have been clearer than he was.

fucking morons

I told them. Not racist totally legit all the Mexicans loved him, every other Hispanic I work with already hated him.

How did they not see this coming?
