Support for Trump among Latinos plummets as many feel betrayed over scope of immigration crackdown

"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!"

I love my Latino brothers and sisters in the world but I will never understand why a single one of them support Donald trump. it makes no fucking sense at all.

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.

Something something about leopards eating faces…..

Not betrayed. Victims of their own stupidity. A bunch of ladder pullers.

If only someone had told them ...

After all this still 28% approves? Guess I need to call the White House and ask to tighten the knot a bit more then? /s

just like military vets,"suckers and losers, whats in it for them"-donald trump.

What's the word for leopard in uh.. Spanish?

If you voted Trump as a Latino, that's a special sort of stupid.

In 2020 the democrats were calling the border wall racist and they won, then in 2024 it was "we're the ones who are actually gonna build the wall, Trump's all talk." They literally tried to position themselves to the right of Republicans on the issue in order to win over the mythical centrists, and predictably what happened was that their support among Latinos broke down.

A lot of these people are religious and conservative, but were willing to vote for Democrats as long as there was substantial differences on race/immigration. But even if they were the "lesser evil" on immigration from a pro-immigrant perspective - something which they denied as hard as they could, by the way - if the difference didn't appear substantial any more, if it was framed in technical arguments about how to do it rather than moral arguments about what to do, then many of them no longer saw it as damning and voted based on other issues where they're more aligned with Republicans.

This is often what swing voters actually look like, by the way, and why pivoting to the right to capture them is often counterproductive. It turns out pivoting right on an issue where doing so directly harms millions of people so you can appeal to the dozen or so people who like Dick Cheney loses elections. Swing voters are a lot more complex than the idiotic "conventional wisdom" that just has everyone at a different point on a one dimensional left-right scale.

he was always going to betray hispanic people, the gop never liked them.

LOL? Betrayed?

This is the fucking party, chuckleheads. They want you gone. Doesn't matter if you were born here.

Stop voting for these motherfuckers. Not one Republican should ever be allowed into office.

The thing is RELIGION. Most Latinx people are religious and more specifically Catholics. Abrahamic religions are extremely misogynistic and homophobic. All Trump had to do was show how much he hates women and the LGBTQ+ community and a lot of Latinx were willing to ignore his racism because they thought Trump would help them punch down on women and gay people. They thought they would avoid getting their faces eaten by the leopard by offing the faces of others in sacrifice to the leopard.

As a fellow Latino, I feel nothing for them.

I mean, what did they expect?

"Man says 'ow!' after shooting self in liver - more at 11."

What in the actual fuck did they think was going to happen? He spent his entire campaign specifically saying he was going to do this.

Whomp whooomp.

Trump could not have been clearer than he was.

Oh darn! If only somebody had warned them about what would happen...

I’m just so entirely unsympathetic to absolutely any minority who voted for the overt racist. Like, genuinely, holy fuck, you are genuinely not allowed to be surprised by his racism. It is now, and always was, one of his primary features.

And I have a special tier of bafflement towards the handful of Arab-American communities in the upper Midwest that apparently voted for him, and are now shocked that his policies are way worse than the absolutely horrible and myopic policies of Biden. Genuinely: How in the ever loving fuck are you surprised by that? He tried to ban any non-Saudi Muslims from coming into the country in his first term. How are you possibly surprised. HOW.

fucking morons

I told them. Not racist totally legit all the Mexicans loved him, every other Hispanic I work with already hated him.

Every one of these people is an idiot.

How did they not see this coming?

"¡Nunca pensé que los leopardos se comerían MI cara!"

Yeah, sorry...but I find it hard to have sympathy for people who shoot themselves in the foot.

“This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”

Huh. This is exactly what I thought it was going to be.

Gusanos and Malinches: What the hell did you expect?

Latinos who voted for Trump deserve everything they get: Trump's "comedian* openly spat in their faces with Trump's full support and they still voted for him.
Pendejos...

How could I know that the guy saying he would deport every fucking immigrant would start deporting every fucking immigrant? It was so unexpected!

Dumbasses

You can say a lot of things about Trump but you can't say he betrayed anyone about his intentions on immigration. Whoever feels betrayed by that simply wanted to be betrayed.

No shit. Like, come on. They’re white supremacists, they aren’t even quiet about that anymore, and we already had Trump run 1, we already saw what fucking happens, how the fuck people didn’t think it would be part 2, and worse than before, is beyond me

The first sighting of a true leopard in Latin America? or did the Jaguars eat their faces?

He’s literally just doing what he said he would do. Did they not believe him, or were they too busy watching fake news to bother listening to what he said? I have no sympathy for the ones who voted for him, but unfortunately this affects the majority who didn’t.

My people, if you believed them I hope you get deported.

You voted to have families torn apart, fuckin traitors. You will never have my respect and I hope you hide in shame.

Dumb fucks.

“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.”

This is what wilful stupidity gets you.

Don't even pretend that no one warned you.

Who could have predicted the man who opened his first presidential run by calling latino immigrants rapists would do this? /s

Almost three in four 😐

I’m sure that if they could go back in time, they’d still vote for that man over a woman.

I'm sure the Latin community are still having the day they voted for.

Any Latino who voted for trump deserves what’s coming to them. We tried to warn you all.

Fucking morons.

Duh and/or hello

this is absolutely a leopards ate my face moment but let’s not forget that Latine people are not trump’s base. lots of people make it seem like he won because Latine people voted for him when that’s just not the case.

his base is, remains and always has been white racists.

Now calm down, Ned-dily-diddly-diddly-diddly... they did their best, shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly... gotta be nice, hostily-iddly-diddly-iddly...Ah hell diddly-ding-dong-crap! Can't you morons do anything right?

¡Los leopardos han venido por nosotros!

Well, well, well .... LOL.
