Wondering how the 45 % of Hispanic males feel about their vote for Trump?

[Chasstev365]

WE TOLD YOU! But moreover, HE TOLD YOU WHAT HE WOULD DO!

How about LGBTQ, Arabs, Ukrainians, and poor rural Americans? Happy with your votes for Trump?


Honest to God: It's like German Jews, Jehova Witnesses, LGBTQ, and immigrants living in Germany in 1933 who voted for Hitler.

How can people be so stupid?

1. A lot are fine with it

Many are part of families who have been here for generations, their ties to their ancestral homelands are basically non existent, many don't really identify as anything other an American, and many dislike the undocumented as much, if not more, then other gop. Some of the most pro deportation people I know are either naturalized citizens themselves, or have parents or grandparents who immigrated years ago.

2. I hate to be a contrarian, BUT

we don’t know how many Angelinos who’ve been arrested or wounded thus far are US citizens. Other Latinos with US citizenship might well shrug their shoulders and say “Oh, it’s just undocumented” or “Oh, it’s just those people out in California.”

It’s not until this ICE cr@p is more widespread and brown-skinned Americans whose forebears have been in the US longer than half of Donald John’s inderlings start feeling nervous that there’s going to be a sea-change.

Sorry, I’m from Texas, and I lost hope for things getting better here a decade ago. I don’t like it. I HATE it. But I have to acknowledge reality.

3. Never underestimate the capacity of the trump regime to fuck things up.

And I say that as a Texan, myself.

Democratic leadership needs to get off its dead ass as take advantage of trump's non-stop blunders and missteps, because Orange Julius is in the process of handing this nation back to us on a platter. We just need to be angry enough and brave enough and smart enough to take advantage of it.

4. Many Hispanics I know are Trump cultists. They want the newcomers deported.

5. Jehovah's witnesses don't vote. Lol. Nt

6. Good Point!

7. What I wonder the most...

Those Cuban Americans who were Batista supporters in the day...do you now understand how these things develop? Batista was bad, Fidel Castro was worse. But Castro came into power because of Batista's autocratic governing style. So, try to dream a little harder and picture a world where the leader is trying to find a balance between people who have different financial needs. It might not be perfect, but it's not what we're dealing with today.

8. Nobody voted for Hitler in 1933

In 1932, he had lost the election for President in a landslide running against Hindenburg.

[Chasstev365]

9. OK: The Nazi Party won a majority in the 1933 election, but not enough to rule outright

They had to form a collation parliament and they made Hitler the Chancellor. After the Reichstag fire, civil rights were suspended and later in 1934, President Von Hindenburg died in office. This made Hitler President and Chancellor, thus dictator.

Are you satisfied now?

[Kaleva]

10. It was Hindenburg that appointed Hitler to be Chancellor

Not the Reichstag.

[Chasstev365]

11. Because von Hindenburg was forced to by the Nazi majority in Parliament. He didn't want to.

BTW It's von Hindenburg; get it right!

Do you live for hair splitting? We're done here!

[Celerity]

13. von Hindenburg, the 'v' is not capitalised

[Chasstev365]

14. You're right. Thanks!

[Kaleva]

18. Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution gave Hindenburg all the power

Hindenburg was popular with the German people as shown by his landslide win over Hitler in the 1932 presidential election. Furthermore, Hindenburg had the complete backing of the German Army.

19. Thanks Skippy!

You are so smart! Now get a life!

15. They may not care

I have seen this with other minorities who voted for Trump. They want to pretend like they’re better and that they’ll be let into Mar-a-lago.

[Jspur]

16. I would say self hatred and desperately wanting to be accepted

by White America is why they voted for Trump. I have a good friend who lived in Dallas, Texas for several years. He moved away from Dallas a few years ago but I remember him telling me for years that the Democrats would never win Texas and he's actually a Democrat. His reasoning was that they are so many Hispanics he had interactions with whether it was at work or at other places that really believed they were white and were down with GOP policies. They really believed they were part of the white community and actually had hatred for illegal immigrants because they felt they were not like them and didn't want whites to look down on them. He also said a lot of them whether it's first generation or second generation tended to shun their culture and usually eventually end up marrying white partners which in his eyes was another sign that they desperately wanted white acceptance.

17. This right here

A large portion of Hispanic's do not consider themselves any different then white middle class Americans. This is partially why our voting share of them has gotten worse election after election. Our perceived focus on Hispanic=immigration issues has alienated them. They don't care about undocumented, they welcome deportations, and the thought of "maybe they will care when a family member is deported" makes no sense to them because they don't have any family who are immigrants. By 2nd/3rd generation basically their entire known family are citizens.

20. Also...

there are descendants of Spanish land grant families that have been in the US longer than many of the rest of our ancestral families.

21. I work with a Puerto Rican Trump voter

He still has zero regrets, probably because he can't be deported.

22. Many of them feel that since their parents or grandparents

Came over legally, working hard and "taking the time to do it right", undocumented Immigrants are trying to short cut the system.
That if you aren't doing it the same way they, dad, or grand dad did, you're basically a lesser criminal who is disrespecting and cheating them.
Even though most of them or their parents came over under the Braceros program or under working visas that were much easier to get, or received amnesty under various 1980's and 1990's programs.
These "criminals" include undocumented spouses with US citizen children, people overstaying visas for medical or economic reasons, the flood of asylum seekers...
According to many Hispanic citizens, immigrants need to go back to the "shithole" they came from and if they want to work in the US, they need to wait the 3 to 7 years to "do it the right way" and become citizens .
Oh, and DOGE found over 2 million undocumented people with Social Security accounts...
