Saved you a click: it's Latinos, and it's because of immigration.

I fucking wish these people didn't have to learn the hard way... "We" were telling them he'd do this, he was telling them he'd do this, but who know what they were thinking to believe it wasn't going to go down like this...

He...doesn't...care....

He only needed to get voted in once (well...twice...the first was a trial run). He used the time to take control of every single lever of power through cronyism or outright criminality. Votes don't matter because no matter what the votes say, the people controlling the election will simply say "Trump won", and when the legal argument against the obvious election rigging gets to the supreme court, they'l affirm it. This is by design.

Or, also possible, Trump will simply not have an election using an excuse of "we're at war" or whatever.

He doesn't need you. He doesn't want you. You can all die for all he gives a shit, so long as he and his rich friends keep making money off the presidency.

There is no "voting" your way out of this bullshit.

That'll teach my fellow Latinos to not vote Republican for this and only this election cycle!

Who could have predicted betraying the voting base that handed you the last election would go poorly?

I still can't believe people were this fucking stupid.

I find it hard to feel any sympathy for Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024. This guy's whole platform in 2016 was being racist towards Latinos and he stops saying overtly racist shit for just a bit during the election and people fall for that? It kind of stretches my imagination to think of how someone could be that stupid.

I hate reporting these days, reporter phrases it like a giant unsolvable mystery.

“Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office, in the minds of Latinos it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers,” said CNN data chief Harry Enten

"I mean" as I broadly gestured towards everything

I just don't understand people at all. How any more than 0% Latinos supported him is a real mystery, but I'm supposing of the ones that did support him and did know that he is affiliated with the likes of Stephen Miller and lots and lots of his white supporters want to deport them - of that number, those people probably thought they are one of the "good ones", he doesn't really mean it other than getting really bad criminals, etc..

No, he and his ilk want to kidnap and deport you. Yes, this means YOU. Even if you have citizenship, even if you supported him, even if you are registered Republican. Republicans like Stephen Miller and the groypers and so on want this to be a white America for white Americans.

So they went from 50% support to 30% support. That's a pretty hefty change, but given that they're the regimes primary victims I have to wonder what those remaining 30% are thinking.

PS: In the current stage of American politics, voting blocs are meaningless.

“Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office, in the minds of Latinos it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers,” said CNN data chief Harry Enten on Monday.

It sure would be nICE to know why. I guess we’ll never know.

Gee, I wonder why Latinos would dislike Trump…

If only that block where the Congress then we could end this nightmare.

Probably see Deported Latinos for Trump signs soon /s

Ha

Raping children?

He is doing everything absolutely wrong.

Through some combination of malice and incompetence he seems to have the ability to do the worst thing possible on every occation.

What is that concept called about society having a collective short term memory?

He is just being himself.

Everybody in this thread going like, "It was so obvious he was going to do this, how could they be so stupid?"

I'll tell you why: it's because the Democrats ran as border hawks. Remember when they were saying, "We're the ones who actually tried to pass a bill to crack down on immigration, but Trump blocked it." The Democrats actively downplayed the threat that Trump posed by trying to claim that he was all talk. They completely abandoned any argument like, "Trump wants to build a wall because he's racist," in favor of "We're the ones who actually want to build the wall." If you're saying that Latinos were "stupid" or whatever, what you're saying is that the Democrats were lying and it should've been obvious to Latinos that they were lying, and because it was so obvious they were lying, they should've voted for them. Which is an absolutely insane thing to say.

When you have two candidates fighting over who's going to be tougher on immigration, it's really not that surprising that people who might be affected by that issue don't vote based on that issue. And many Latinos have conservative cultural values. Absent a clear argument for vote against Trump, like that he's racist, that his talk about cracking down on "illegals" won't stop there, they voted based on other shit.

Of course, this reality is utterly unimaginable to the DNC, because it's taken as unquestionable dogma that the way to win votes is by moving to the right and appealing to the mythical centrist swing voter. The reality is that if you can draw this hard moral line, and stand by it, then you can convince people that you're actually going to protect their rights and that they should put aside other, less important concerns for the sake of defending this moral line. Even if that requires going out on a limb and adopting a more "extreme" position. Even now, there's a lot of silence coming from the centrist Dems when they ought to be shouting from the rooftops about this shit, because oh no, what if we alienate the three people in the country who actually liked Dick Cheney.

I fucking hate anybody who tries to pull this "leopards ate their face" bit about vulnerable minorities who were abandoned by both parties. Go fuck yourself. Legitimately, go fuck yourself. You don't get to stan a party that says, "Fuck you, vote for me," and then act all smug when people don't vote for them and get screwed over by the other side. Yeah, it was obvious they'd get screwed over by the other side, but your side was also promising to screw them over. Christ.

What about the Cubans that want another Batista?

People deserve the leaders they get.
