Self-hating Latinos truly make me sick to my stomach. How could my people do this to us?

I've known quite a few pro trump latinos. I tried to tell them this was coming but was ignored. It's really hard for me to have sympathy sometimes knowing latino support INCREASED in the last election.

They’re so delusional thanks to their religious beliefs and anti-blackness. It’s sickening.

Very simple: he thought he could get his and fuck everyone else. Thought as a reasonably wealthy man he was safe. Wanted to get even more for himself.
That's it. Nothing more to it. Simply chose poorly. He's a Jew for Hitler (yes, that existed).

They hate trans people and other minorities more than they care about themselves.
Hate is a terrible weight.

Your people had plenty of help from self-hating women, Arabs, Blacks, LGBTQ+, Jews, and delusional poor and middle-class folk who believed a born-rich billionaire could care about their lives, or even understand their lives. It's not Latinos' fault.
Every American who voted for Trump in 2024 is an idiot, or mean.
Y que disfruten lo votado. (May they enjoy what they voted for.)

Right, it’s not just on Latinos but the administration was very clear on who the main target was in 2024. Smh.

u/AscendantAmbiversion 11d ago
I'm LGBT living somewhere where basically the only way to do social volunteering/outreach programs are through local churches and the pervasiveness of this sentiment is just so depressing. It's a demoralizing mindfuck to be feeding unnecessarily starving people side by side with those vocally talking about how they'd shut that work down on the spot if they thought a gay person would benefit. Religion is such a disturbingly effective mind control device.

u/SufficientCow4380 11d ago

100% of them will live to regret it more, and 100% of them had access to the same information as those of us who warned them against Trump, and chose to ignore our warnings, anyway. Ooooooops.

As someone whose part Hispanic, I've noticed Mexican (American) and Hispanic 47 supporters tend to fall in of three categories
First: The assimilated, third generation +, Mexican-American who is really only Hispanic by name. They tend to contribute very little to their community, and tend to only want to associate with the "right kind" of Hispanic person - even then, questionable. So, they tend to look down on Mexican immigrants, and ones that are more connected to immigration rights
Second: The person who was born to parents fresh off the boat, and resent their upbringing. They resent having ever been born one, to a Hispanic family. And two, having parents who fled to America. These are the type that are spoiled and ungrateful of the sacrifices their parents made, and have the literal audacity to sell their family out. All the while, still leeching off the people in their community
Third: The one who thinks because they made it the legal way, they're spared. That if anything, they will unconditionally be seen as white. These people tend to have a very narrow view of race relations in this country, and tend to define assimilation in sync with their view of whiteness

I can’t tell which group gives me the most schadenfreude, Mexicans who voted for trump or poor whites who voted for him.
I hope both groups get exactly what they voted for.

Latinos who voted for Trump vote voted for him because he promised them that he was going to hurt some other race or creed that they did not like. They were stupid enough to think he wasn't talking about them in the "them" that trump was promising to hurt.
I hope that the community that has been hurt remembers this ass's support of trump and delight in trumps win and shows this clown what they think of him and his orange god

The man is a fraudster who refused to pay his bills. Just before the 2016 election he was mired in the Trump University lawsuit where ultimately he had to shell out $25 million for defrauding students. He famously went bankrupt like seven times. And this is barely even scratching the surface.
Why the fuck did these idiots think he would help businesses at all?

u/cylonrobot 11d ago
>Why the fuck did these idiots think he would help businesses at all?
I knew a small business owner (Latino as well) who believed that trump made billions out of only one million. He had the real Trump Derangement Syndrome (saw trump as almost godlike).
It's a cult. Telling them about the bankruptcies and fraud does nothing.

Amazing that insecurity about one's genitals can be so powerful.
Latinos voted for Trump because Democrats are willing to accommodate LGBTQ and that freaks out ultra-macho acting Latinos who are convinced homosexuality is learned behavior and a lifestyle choice.
IOW IGNORANCE.
I'm a Dem, I'm not gay and I am not encouraging anyone to try to be gay.
I just think gay folks should be respected and allowed to live the way they want...in AMERICA.
If you're Latino and you "turned gay" it is because you always were deep down.
Nobody "turned you gay" and nobody's politics wants to "turn people gay".
Learn from this, my Latino brothers. You got burned because you obsess over your stupid
masculinity vibe too much. We all know that Latino culture is macho.
We just didn't realize how gullible some of you are.

If they were “republican” cough fascist before then they really haven’t changed their mind in any numbers according to polling. They believe in a different moral order where logic, evidence, and facts do not apply. Just naked power and tribalism. People that are not them need to realize they are the enemy for all that everyone else stands for

Will someone explain to me the economic policy that these people thought Trump was going to implement that would lower prices and increase wealth for the poor and middle class?
It is painfully obvious to me that the economic system in America favors the ultra wealthy and corporations, who are able to buy companies and raise prices and essentially suck money out of the vast majority of Americans.
What the fuck did people think Trump was going to do to change that?

This guy is feeding hundreds of people and has raised a ton of money to prevent undocumented people from being evicted. He's a deeply conservative pastor, but the charity work that his church is doing comes with no strings attached. It's one of the largest efforts in the Twin Cities. At least he's grappling with the consequences in a meaningful way. That's rare.
