    “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.
