What's the word for leopard in uh.. Spanish?
El Opardo!
Source: i don’t know Spanish at all
in this case it would jaguars and pumas.
he was always going to betray hispanic people, the gop never liked them.
Fucking duh. Latinos here in Canada have been laughing at you.
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.
If you voted Trump as a Latino, that's a special sort of stupid.
latinos down south have been brainwashed and indoctrinated since thier parents immigrated here decades ago,.
They'll vote for whoever replaces him too. Nobody had learned any real lesson.
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.
As a fellow Latino, I feel nothing for 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.
Latinx
Don’t say this, just say Latin if you don’t want to gender or people from the Americas if you want to refer to Central/South Americans
Abrahamic religions are extremely misogynistic and homophobic.
I agree but you’re ignoring the “i’m one of the good ones” mentality
Trump says he’s only going after criminals, that couldn’t be me.
It’s like when he says legal immigrants cheating the system and legal immigrants love it because they know they didn’t cheat so it must be other ones
But you do highlight why PR isn’t a state. Democrats don’t want another Republican state and Republicans don’t like white people speaking Spanish
Dumb fucks. It was obvious.
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??
Whomp whooomp.
Trump could not have been clearer than he was.
and emphasized many times.
"i dont care about you, just your votes" " i dont care if you die, just your votes", "i love the poorly educated"
Every one of these people is an idiot.
"Man says 'ow!' after shooting self in liver - more at 11."
I mean, what did they expect?
Don't worry. There is room in the gas chamber for people in wheel chairs too, you fucking freeloading fat strain on the economy.
"I expected to be the exception! I'm one of the good ones! It wasn't supposed to happen to me."
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.
It sure sucks when a leopard eats your face.
But why didn't anyone warn me that they were going to eat -my- face?! I'm a good !!
Dumbasses
Gusanos and Malinches: What the hell did you expect?
fucking morons
I told them. Not racist totally legit all the Mexicans loved him, every other Hispanic I work with already hated him.
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.
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.
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.
Oh darn! If only somebody had warned them about what would happen...
Duh and/or hello
