Leopards Ate My Face

What Texas media and social pressure told them to. That's why we shouldn't let billionaires and liars run the media

They expected deportations of only the "bad mexicans", not understanding thst every mexican is bad to this admin.

The destruction of the left:

“We’re pissed off at the current administration. Everybody’s pissed off down here in south Texas,” the construction executive said, noting that most Hispanics in the area are Catholic. “Remember, we’re conservative, we’re not far left. We’re in the middle, conservative Latinos in south Texas. It doesn’t make sense.”

They expected a scenario that would work out well for themselves. They didn't put any effort into thinking about whether or not any given scenario would work out well for themselves, but the Republican media assured them it would work out, so why would they doubt that?

They did what daddy told them too and as mad as they are they will continue to vote red.

Probably not concentration camps

he even did it before!

strange, they can't seem to find that person anymore to conduct a follow-up with.

History is filled with people who were promised that we would pretend they were white if they just sold out everyone they cared about. Hasn't actually paid off yet.

Deport the "bad ones." Not realizing that bad is having a skin colour away from mayo.

Met a Cuban last year who was a "Fuck your feelings" Trump supporter.

I think about him a lot whenever Trump threatens Cuba.

Legally documented immigrants are often considerably more strict and harsh in their views on undocumented immigrants. A very "I did it right and so should you have too" mentality. This is particularly strong among refugee immigrants (Cuban and Venezuela, for example). The problem here is the perception that undocumented immigrants are all members of roving street gangs selling drugs and murdering an raping. Farm hands and construction workers can get documentation that passes the checks required of employers. So they weren't expecting their own employees to be swept up in it.

They're not stupid, just heavily propagandized to where they need to experience personal consequence to reconsider. It a perfect chance to have the conversation with them to win them over.

This is some bullshit, on several levels.

White people voted 42%Harris, 57%Trump Hispanics voted 51% Harris, 46% Trump. https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2024 Does that look like a hispanic voting problem or a white problem?

Secondly, It gets complicated fast and I dont think can be easily reduced to "swung hard right". The "latino" vote is diverse and encompasses a lot of peoples: Mexico, central, south America, and Cuba (All pretty different folks with different political pressures, history, and biases) Immigration, economic opportunity, skepticism of the democratic party caring about them, anger about gaza and disapproval of Bidens justice policies broadly, and a general rejection of the economic status quo all factored in. By how much? Hard to get great polling data on that. But Biden and then Harris's message was literally that "nothing will fundamentally change", at a time when his approval rates were very low.

The article specifies Texas Hispanic voters in particular, but broadly speaking the hispanic vote still favors Dems in aggregate. They just didnt support dems as much as they used to. Harris got more of the latino vote, but Republicans acheived almost an equal share.

Its easiest to blame the voters, sure, but the DNC went well beyond shitting the bed in that election. Diarhea'ed the bed in horse-like quanitites is more like it, so there plenty of shit to smear around. And the DNC has learned nothing at all from their loss, and just blames their voters, so they will pull the same nonsense next time, and risk losing. again. If we even have a country left at that point for them to sell-out on.

Indeed and racism played a heavy role while voting.

i was gonna say that he can't even quote one verse from the bible but that tracks with the average christian., or at least conservatives. I'm not christian but i can cite multiple verses from the bible that i could reasonably say i like for one reason or another.
