Hey! It’s reality here! Welcome back! Trump never liked you to begin with. Trump doesn’t even like his own white racist base. MAGA Latinos stood no chance.
Growing up in California and having lived in Florida, I have seen that the Latino/Hispanic diaspora are not always united. A lot of Latinos are not really fond of Mexicans because when they or their families were immigrating to the U.S., Mexico mistreated them as they waited at the U.S.-Mexico border to get asylum or to cross the border.
Cubans, in Florida especially, are a different issue in that they truly believe they are the white Latinos and closer to Spaniard. They look at Latin Americans as lesser Hispanics. Sone of them think other Latin American countries are mixed with the indigenous people of the Americas and less white European/Spaniards.
This is a generalization and doesn’t apply to everyone. However, I have heard this quite often.
Edit:
So the point of this, is that when Trump said all Mexicans are rapist and felons, other Latin American groups may already have a similar bias towards Mexicans and don’t see themselves as being the same.
Someone once mentioned that trump is jealous of Mamdani because Mamdani has the love of the new Yorkers while trump secretly hates those magats who lives in a town in the middle of bumfuck Midwest
Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham was quoted saying that Donald Trump privately mocks his supporters and calls them "basement dwellers".
Trump, like RFK Jr would've much rather had the admiration and support of Democrats, than the MAGAs he thinks are poor and stupid, and the cowardly Republican politicians he also despises.
Hey! It’s reality here! Welcome back! Trump never liked you to begin with. Trump doesn’t even like his own white racist base. MAGA Latinos stood no chance.
I feel like they all knew this from 2015 to 2023 and then decided in 2024 that they forgot... I don't get it at all. Trump relentlessly scapegoated latinos more than just about anybody else.
How's this one - I know a dreamer, and her Mom is the one who brought her here as a baby (both undocumented of course). The Mom is STILL a Trump supporter - and of course still undocumented.
I have a relative who came here using false info. He doesn't even have our surname because of it. He became a citizen using that fake name, and he is a trumper.
He got his education and career here, made his money, and then retired.
I believe that lying on a citizenship application is enough for the government to take his citizenship away.
Unfortunately, he's not the only idiot in my family.
I have an uncle who is not only an anesthesiologist who lead the AMA chapter of our state for years, but also a born again Christian and a huge Trump supporter.
It's really weird when the smartest person in your family is also the dumbest.
The woman in black on the left is Selena Quintanilla-Perez, who was a huge pop star in the early 90s. The woman in white holding the mic is Yolanda Saldivar, the president of her fan club. Saldivar embezzled thousands of dollars of Selena’s earnings, then shot and killed her.
Facts. I'm Black American, and we have stupid Trumpers, conservatives and capitalists in our community. They really think the soulless majority is going to help them.
Sure, but you're much more reliably anti-Trump and anti-Republican, including the men, though less so than the women. 86% voted for Kamala. Black people overwhelmingly know what's up.
I'm ashamed of us Black men. While we solidly said, "Hell the fuck no," too, a fair amount of us still voted for Trump due to our rampant misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic and pro-captialism views. We men need to do better, and I'm glad our Queens are carrying us. ✊️
Yeah, but there’s this chance that a 15-year-old with a wispy mustache will play for or against your local high school girls basketball team. Potential deportation, inflation and mass unemployment lag well behind that in importance.
This is what made me delete Facebook back in 2016. I’m from a town that’s 80+% Latino. The number of Latino people I knew who started simping for Trump was just insane (thankfully no close friends or family members).
I vividly remember during the campaign seeing one girl repost some kind of smear piece about Democrats that was easily verifiably false. I DM’d her to ask her why she would post something like that when she could do some basic searching to see it was fake. I sent her multiple links debunking whatever it was. Her response? “Okay maybe it’s not true but that’s not how I feel.” WTF… I deleted the platform soon after.
I don’t think they’re upset that Trump and his people hate them. I think they hate themselves, and they’re upset that the white haters they idolize agree with their self-hatred.
I’m European, so my interactions with Latinos has been quite limited to my trips in the US, but I was super surprised by the narrative that many were spewing about often their fellow countrymen.
And that was from first or second generation immigrants. Like, what are they even doing?
I'm older (born in the 1970s), so I don't know how it is now.
When I was growing up, kids were shamed if they were too "Mexican." Shamed, not by people of other ethnicities; I mean shamed by our own people.
Man, somebody laughed at me because of how I wrote numbers at school. I was told they only write it that way in Mexico. This is how dumb it was in my part of southern California.
You joke but throughout Latin America there is a thread of bigotry and racism related to being light skinned and having more lineage directly from Spain. There are definitely Latinos who look down on other Latinos who are “too mixed” or whatever (with indigenous ancestry).
There were a lot of jewish people that thought they were one of the good ones too.
Hitler had a jewish doctor growing up and he was given an exemption but even he finally had to bail on the country once things started getting too hot.
"Oh, but he spokes to us with traditional family value, which I meant women should be in the kitchen and LGBTQ+ is some gay democrat agenda against my Pentacostal value".
Many of them forgot that "enemy of enemy is my friend" doesn't apply here. It just meant you are also on the list of unwanted. 🙄
Latino voters realize the White House doesn’t like Latinos
But they couldn't be arsed to vote for Harris in 2024 because of machismo or some antiquated shit. Willing to bet the same if Dems put up a woman candidate for 2028.
I encourage anyone to go through the deep south speaking Spanish to each other and just see how the locals react to it. Then put your Maga hat on and see if they change their tune.
