Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No shit, why do you think MAGA is speedrunning authoritarianism?
That and minority voters will become the majority voting block and overwhelmingly swing liberal.
That just isn't true. There are plenty of dumb non-whites as there are dumb white people.
The data begs to differ
In what world do you think our country is going to overwhelming swing liberal.
I think after similarly bad situations like the great depression it could happen again, like it did then.
All i can say is, i sure hope you're right.
You were saying?
A majority of Latinos still voted for Harris. And that was in a bad year for Democrats. I'm sick of people blaming them when it's us white people, especially men, who mostly voted for Trump.
I'm not "blaming" anybody. The original comment said minorities will hate Trump and swing their votes blue when there are plenty of minorities who still somehow support him.
"Plenty of minorites" it's like 3% higher than it was in 2020 my dude. Your comment came off to me like it was very flippant and deflective.
The amount of support Latinos should have for Trump is 0%. But people don't "vote rationally".
The original idea i was replying to was the idea that "minorities will see how bad Trump is and vote blue overwhelmingly". The fact there was even a group called "Latinos for Trump" when he was loudly advocating for deportations shows that wasn't the case.
There were many reasons Trump won unfortunately. I didn't mean to come off like i was blaming minorities for Trump. But thinking "oh Trump is bad for minorities so they won't vote for him anymore and swing blue so its ok" seems like a complete misread of the situation, and part of how Trump won both times. Stop underestimating how irrational people can be.
See my response to the other guy who said the same thing. Sure you can always find an exception to the rule, but this is an exception, not the norm.
Alright fair enough, suppose we'll see soon enough.
Immigrants tend to lean right as they are usually more conservative.
Not in the US. Almost every immigrant group except for Vietnamese and Cuban people vote by large majorities for Democrats. That's why the GOP manufactured the bullshit lie that Democrats bring in immigrants to vote for them.
