I'm sorry but, what the fuck is wrong with Latino men? Please explain this so my smooth ass European brain can understand!

highly religious
Highly patriarchal
Religious, macho, hatred of other-Latin (Mexicans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Domincans etc. have a lot of interrelational hatred), and I-got-mine-ing (pulling up the ladder once they got their citizenship).
I remember 2016 analysis. Texas promised a lot of wall construction jobs. Florida threatened Castro's ghost was going be donated Miami by commie HRC and Biden in 2020. Latinos may be made to hate each other, by country of origin, or ladder being pulled out for those not here yet, for all I know.
By far the biggest indicator of Trump support/voting intentions is how much they consume "trans normalization outrage porn". Trump's baseless confidence that giving all of America to oligarchs will create more jobs can influence low information/analytical people as well.
In 1998 Clinton's secretary of state stent a SWAT team in to the house of some Cuban immigrants to kidnap a child who's mother died getting him out of Cuba but because his dad was still in Cuba they figured the best way to solve the problem involved point guns at people. Since that event Latinos have voted almost exclusively for Republicans.
My only hope is if there is ever another election they will finally find someone else to hate more than Janet Reno.
I might have the wrong attribution, but I think it was Regan who said “Latino voters are Republicans who don’t know it yet.”
All I see is one of the dumbest nations on the planet and a clear indication that things will continue to decline regardless of whether Donald Trump is wasting oxygen or not.
Dark future.
As an American who didn't vote for fascism, I wish I could argue with you.

Really guys
This is lemmy cmon, at least put in the effort to question the data source
How many of you even had an option to fill in your race on your voter registration form? My state doesn't even collect this info.
You think that it’s all just guesswork? Lmao good Satan please help me.
Its a shitpost that makes pearl-clutching liberals feel good.
Man = bad
White man = badder
🤷🏽♂️
Latino men... You know he fucking hates you, right? Or at least, the base he panders to does.
I’m not convinced he has cares about anyone. Looks like black Americans are the smartest men here.
No fucking way this is real data. Dont believe everything you see on the internet people this is clearly bullshit. Trump won yes but no fucking way is this data legit. Its just hate spewing this post should be fucking dropped for false information. No way blue states had all white men voting Trump lol fuck off OP.
Imagine being in this much denial about the reality of racist usa.
But on the other hand I would like to see a source. Edit: source fwiw.
I'm a white man in a rural area in the south. Black folks who don't really know me often seem surprised when they hear me say something anti-Trump. And honestly, I understand completely.
That's wild
Non-black folk in the US—your reality has been propagandised
If you're white and on the left its time you started infiltrating these conservative spaces. I do, and as soon as they see you are white all you have to do is ignore 1 racist comment and these people open all the folds for you. Its time to get dirty with the people spreading the dirt. The right wanted a revolution? They'll get it.
I'm barely keeping my sanity from fraying, the last thing I need is to make it worse by surrounding myself with people I hate.
Buy guns, learn to use them safely and effectively, stock up on supplies to defend your family and community if the worst happens.
You will inevitably interact with plenty of racists in that process.
Believe me I have tried.
They're so scared of what they think is socialism, but what they describe is actually communism.
They don't know why either is bad, just that China has it and they don't want it.
Remember when Democrats came away from 2024 trying to blame black men?
Pepperidge Farms remembers..
They failed and blamed BIPOC for their loss while white men and women are why Trump won. And I'm a white dude who voted for Harris.
And then they claimed they support Black Lives Matter. Brown people matter if they win, they don't care and will blame you if they lose.
Maybe the answer is only letting black men vote next time.
Or we could give their votes more power. Something like... each of their votes counts for 5/3 votes. I think that would be a fair compromise.
