Summary

Trump’s support among Latinos has plummeted as he nears his first 100 days in office, with many saying they feel betrayed by the scope of his policies, particularly immigration enforcement.

Almost three in four Latinos (72%) now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.

Many Venezuelans, for example, have been impacted by the decision to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they’re going to come take me somewhere I won’t be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”

    The fact that any of them voted for him is astounding. Did they not listen to a single word from his mouth about hordes of immigrants watering down the blood of America? Did they not see him drag a Hispanic celebrity (Nicky Jam) on stage, only to reveal, before the entire audience that he had no idea who they were, and in fact thought they were a hot woman?

    Like a bunch of turkeys counting down the days to Christmas.

    Doesn’t really matter what they think of him now, they’ll be in an El Salvador concentration camp by the time the next election comes round.

    On a different note there’s a new NGO called “Watch for diabetic Leopards” it seems leopards have been overfeeding in the last months and some are getting diabetes due to being overweight

    The question is, will voters learn from this? Will they understand that when the president and his crew are straight up Nazis – and congressional republicans do nothing to stop them because they support a Nazi agenda – that the whole Republican party is now a Nazi party?

    There won’t be any “reasonable” Republicans to vote for going forword; they are all Nazis now.

      It would help if the other side wasn’t “vote for us or we’ll let the nazis destroy the country to spite you.”

        I used to live in a heavily Hispanic area, and I can tell you there absolutely will be nothing learned from any of it.

        Cause any Republican attacks against Hispanics were always hand-waved away with some variant of “Of course, they’re talking about (insert Hispanic group the speaker hates), not about the good ones like (insert Hispanic group the speaker belongs to). If it wasnt for (hated group) fucking it all up things would be better for all of us!”

        Republicans don’t make such distinctions, to Republicans all Hispanics are just Mexicans.

        Which is how the leopards facial feast was laid out.

          They’re not unique in that regard. All his supporters will hand-wave away anything that affects them negatively.

    “His whole life has consisted of nothing but lying, backstabbing, betrayal and treason. Who could have ever imagined he’d keep doing that?”

    “I just don’t understand why he betrayed Us, I mean… he did nothing but campaign on open contempt for our people, but surely he cant be held accountable for that! This is just so unexpected and blindsiding us!”

    No fucking way! I don’t feel sorry for any Latinos or Hispanics that voted for Trump. Ya’ll are traitors to democracy and our constitution for installing a dictator. You think people would learn from the dictatorship countries they fled.

      Even worse, these are people that voted for the leopards that explicitly said they’d eat YOUR faces party, thought they must surely just be joking, or something!
