No shit sherlocks
I have respect for Puerto Ricans who saw this coming a mile away. As to the rest of the latinos, womp womp.
I mean have the day you voted for.
There is really just a lot of people in the world who are incredibly self loathing
No smoke for Latinos, my strongest coworkers but goddamn they walked right into this thinking Maga was going to recognize them as "The good ones". Shout out to any of you who caught on faster.
Unfortunately a lot of us suffer from “pulling the ladder up syndrome” and have grown up believing if we assimilate, we will be equal to white people. I have a family full of these idiots.
Don't I know it. It's also a directive that's very compatible with Abrahamic faith which most of everyone in the Americas are only two or three generations removed from if at all.
Now its legal for ice to harass them all day if they speak spanish
They left a authoritarian state to vote for an authoritarian state.
Also as a Hispanic, fuck Cubans acting like they are better than any other Hispanics in the US.
The available polls show that the majority of voters in the last presidential election would vote the same way if the election were held today,” he points out
I'm sure ICE will get around to them eventually, then they won't be able to fuck themselves over again. Not that they'd be able to anyway, if Trump lives up to his promise. If he doesn't, then I'm sure the election will just be rigged again, anyway.
It is shocking to remember sometimes, but hypocritical self-centered ass gaskets are represented in every racial grouping. The white people voting for Trump are fucking themselves just as are the Cuban people voting for Trump, and they all got hoodwinked into it via pretty much the same methods.
49% of voters would vote the same way->
All dems=~49%
Therefore ~100% of Trump supporters are questioning their choice
As someone once part of that community, my fellow Cubans are the most idiotic voting block in the country. They actively vote against their best interests because they're convinced falsely that JFK, a Democrat, had betrayed them.
So, Cubans over a certain age all vote Republican. They're all brainwashed to believe a Democrat is going to bring Soviet style socialism to the country.
What this article fails to express is that my idiotic former ethnic group don't have the capacity to self reflect beyond their bullshit South Florida selfish needs.
I honestly laugh when they get deported or detained because they voted for this. My only real fear is for my 71 year old mom who, despite being enlightened above her fellow Cubans, still happens to live there. At least she has sense to vote against the GOP.
...your former ethnic group? How does that work, exactly? 🤔😄
Ethnic groups are not a race, it's a culture. You can leave it by leaving and not taking the culture with you, you can join one by showing up consistently
