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.
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.
You were saying?

“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.

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.
