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.
I remember some footage of a Latino Trump supporter giving a black woman shit in Trump's name, and wondering what the ever loving fuck. A variation on Hitler's rise to power is how many figurative Jews threw their full support behind him this time. I don't get it. I'll never get it. I'm sick of his stupid fucking face.
I live in Colombia. People here self-identify as "white," and they're surprised that white people in the US think of them as a different race.
Then double their shock - a significant amount of those white people in the US will think your race is "Mexican." Never mind that you're not Mexican, have never been to Mexico, and that "Mexican" isn't even a race.
Logic doesn't matter in their argument. You speak Spanish? You must be Mexican. End of story.

They were hoping Trump would just hurt trans people. There's, unfortunately, a not small amount of bigotry in the USA's minority groups.
But the leopard promised so many great things. I mean, sure, the leopard DID say outright that he would eat my face, but I thought surely he'd never eat MY face.
The capacity of humanity to act against themselves is sometimes a wonder.
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??
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?
gop smokescreen :blinded by fear of communism, and christianity. even vietnamese people down south are like this, actually viet people in most places.
Whole lotta people suddenly surprised that Project 2025 wasn't just some "conspiracy theory", too....
It's hard to see without head in the sand.
"¡Nunca pensé que los leopardos se comerían MI cara!"
My Spanish is near non-existent but I was still able to read this perfectly.
Every one of these people is an idiot.
There are not nearly enough leopards to handle this amount of face eating.
in the USA there are pumas and the occasional rare jaguar. plus wolves, and coyotes, and the house cats. maybe some peccaries can join in too, and some imported tigers.
Yeah, sorry...but I find it hard to have sympathy for people who shoot themselves in the foot.
“This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”
Huh. This is exactly what I thought it was going to be.
And also what he literally said every time.
Latinos who voted for Trump deserve everything they get: Trump's "comedian* openly spat in their faces with Trump's full support and they still voted for him.
Pendejos...

Gusanos and Malinches: What the hell did you expect?
How could I know that the guy saying he would deport every fucking immigrant would start deporting every fucking immigrant? It was so unexpected!
You can say a lot of things about Trump but you can't say he betrayed anyone about his intentions on immigration. Whoever feels betrayed by that simply wanted to be betrayed.
The first sighting of a true leopard in Latin America? or did the Jaguars eat their faces?
jaguars and pumas, domestic cats once you pass away
los pumas me comieron la cara
No shit. Like, come on. They’re white supremacists, they aren’t even quiet about that anymore, and we already had Trump run 1, we already saw what fucking happens, how the fuck people didn’t think it would be part 2, and worse than before, is beyond me
My people, if you believed them I hope you get deported.
You voted to have families torn apart, fuckin traitors. You will never have my respect and I hope you hide in shame.

He’s literally just doing what he said he would do. Did they not believe him, or were they too busy watching fake news to bother listening to what he said? I have no sympathy for the ones who voted for him, but unfortunately this affects the majority who didn’t.

“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they're going to come take me somewhere I won't be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”
This is what wilful stupidity gets you.
Don't even pretend that no one warned you.

I still don't get it, why would you, as a Latino, support trump? What the hell were you expecting to happen?
You're that meme of sheep looking at a sign of a wolf saying "I'm going to eat you" and go "I like him, he says it how it is!"
Idiots
