      Religious, macho, hatred of other-Latin (Mexicans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Domincans etc. have a lot of interrelational hatred), and I-got-mine-ing (pulling up the ladder once they got their citizenship).

      I remember 2016 analysis. Texas promised a lot of wall construction jobs. Florida threatened Castro’s ghost was going be donated Miami by commie HRC and Biden in 2020. Latinos may be made to hate each other, by country of origin, or ladder being pulled out for those not here yet, for all I know.

      By far the biggest indicator of Trump support/voting intentions is how much they consume “trans normalization outrage porn”. Trump’s baseless confidence that giving all of America to oligarchs will create more jobs can influence low information/analytical people as well.

      In 1998 Clinton’s secretary of state stent a SWAT team in to the house of some Cuban immigrants to kidnap a child who’s mother died getting him out of Cuba but because his dad was still in Cuba they figured the best way to solve the problem involved point guns at people. Since that event Latinos have voted almost exclusively for Republicans.
      My only hope is if there is ever another election they will finally find someone else to hate more than Janet Reno.

      I might have the wrong attribution, but I think it was Regan who said “Latino voters are Republicans who don’t know it yet.”
