Oh yeah absolutely, and the white Latinos often voted for Trump because they wanted the Latinos of color gone. I'm just saying this isn't "leopards eating faces" and is "the right finally got the tool they wanted to make Brown people disappear in places that aren't conservative/white enough."

    Yeah and the state has more than 20 million people lol, the islands of blue that didn't do that are the size of small countries.

    I feel like the "they're targeting liberal areas" part of what I said is going over your head. The whole point is that the communities getting hit the hardest with this are the ones that didn't back Trump.

    I didn't say he was avoiding red Latinos, I'm correctly saying that the operations are disproportionately targeting areas that lean Democratic.

    What? I'm not saying Latinos are disproportionately in Democratic areas, I'm saying that the areas being targeted disproportionately lean farther toward Democrats regardless of whether they are more or less Latino. I'm saying this is being used as a tool to punish less conservative areas, I'm not trying to argue that Latinos in Florida are concentrated in Democratic-leaning places.

    Okay, or you could just try basic reading comprehension. I feel like this isn't hard. Authoritarians siccing their goon squad on areas that aren't supportive isn't exactly a difficult concept to grasp and it's one of the oldest tricks in the dictators' book.
