Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

For the life of me, I have no idea how he ever managed to convince Latino voters to support him in the 1st place.
Latino culture is just very conservative by nature. There's a lot of factors, religion, (family) education, traditions and just how their communities operate. It's more telling that Trump literally has to threaten deportation or extermination to get them to break ranks than his rhetoric for the past decade, let alone prior to that. If Latinos didn't have brown skin they'd be the model republican. And somehow that drives the power center of the party up a fucking wall thanks to their racist views.
None of that should matter if you have and use a brain.
You remember we are talking about conservatives, who are conditioned to shut off their brain, avoid any critical thinking and take what ever "good" people tell them as though it were gospel.
Conservative politics, as John Staurt Mills pointed out, attracts.stupid people. Not.all conservatives are stupid.of course, many are just grifters etc.
"I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative" h . John Stuart Mill
And Cipllola defines a stupid person as someone who hurts others even if they hurt themselves.
You have the perfect intersection here of conservative and stupid.
Latino guys in trucks working blue collar jobs feel more like white Republican guys to them than liberal democrats. Only problem is that the gop doesn't think that.
Chickens for McNuggets. The first rule of immigration is shit all over other immigrants.
Trump didn't win the Latino vote, Biden lost it. The same goes for the 2024 election. It was a rejection of Democratic Party establishment, not a Trump victory.
Fair enoigh but image being so disillusioned by Biden or Harris you'd vote for Trump ...as a latino. You'd have to be a either a fool... or a phsycopath. I mean i can see u being so upset you vote for neither but Trump ?
If you don't offer voters a good candidate, then you will lose the election. Saying "I'm less evil than the other guy" won't be enough.
