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

The fact that any of them voted for him is astounding. Did they not listen to a single word from his mouth about hordes of immigrants watering down the blood of America? Did they not see him drag a Hispanic celebrity (Nicky Jam) on stage, only to reveal, before the entire audience that he had no idea who they were, and in fact thought they were a hot woman?
Like a bunch of turkeys counting down the days to Christmas.
Doesn't really matter what they think of him now, they'll be in an El Salvador concentration camp by the time the next election comes round.

On a different note there's a new NGO called "Watch for diabetic Leopards" it seems leopards have been overfeeding in the last months and some are getting diabetes due to being overweight

"Latinos" learning that thinking you're "white" isn't the same as having white privilege.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/01/election-trump-latino-vote-paola-ramos

The question is, will voters learn from this? Will they understand that when the president and his crew are straight up Nazis -- and congressional republicans do nothing to stop them because they support a Nazi agenda -- that the whole Republican party is now a Nazi party?
There won't be any "reasonable" Republicans to vote for going forword; they are all Nazis now.
- will voters learn from this?
  History says no.
  
  I used to live in a heavily Hispanic area, and I can tell you there absolutely will be nothing learned from any of it.
  Cause any Republican attacks against Hispanics were always hand-waved away with some variant of "Of course, they're talking about (insert Hispanic group the speaker hates), not about the good ones like (insert Hispanic group the speaker belongs to). If it wasnt for (hated group) fucking it all up things would be better for all of us!"
  Republicans don't make such distinctions, to Republicans all Hispanics are just Mexicans.
  Which is how the leopards facial feast was laid out.

More faces are needed to feed the machine

"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.
- Ah, but those were Communist dictatorships. Capitalist dictatorships are a-okay! (or so they thought.)
  
  Scream communist and create a Banana Republic. As long as USA is in charge.

Something something about leopards eating faces…..
- Even worse, these are people that voted for the leopards that explicitly said they'd eat YOUR faces party, thought they must surely just be joking, or something!

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

If only someone had told them ...
- We never could have seen this coming!
  ^/s

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

Latino here, these people are morons
https://youtu.be/3f8SG9wkiFw

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

What's the word for leopard in uh.. Spanish?
- El Opardo!
  Source: i don’t know Spanish at all
- in this case it would jaguars and pumas.

If you voted Trump as a Latino, that's a special sort of stupid.
- They'll vote for whoever replaces him too. Nobody had learned any real lesson.
- latinos down south have been brainwashed and indoctrinated since thier parents immigrated here decades ago,.

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.

Fucking duh. Latinos here in Canada have been laughing at you.

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.

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.
- Latinx
  Don’t say this, just say Latin if you don’t want to gender or people from the Americas if you want to refer to Central/South Americans
  Abrahamic religions are extremely misogynistic and homophobic.
  I agree but you’re ignoring the “i’m one of the good ones” mentality
  Trump says he’s only going after criminals, that couldn’t be me.
  It’s like when he says legal immigrants cheating the system and legal immigrants love it because they know they didn’t cheat so it must be other ones
  But you do highlight why PR isn’t a state. Democrats don’t want another Republican state and Republicans don’t like white people speaking Spanish

he was always going to betray hispanic people, the gop never liked them.
- I see no betrayal here. He said what he was going to do, and the trees voted for the axe.

As a fellow Latino, I feel nothing for them.

I mean, what did they expect?
- "I expected to be the exception! I'm one of the good ones! It wasn't supposed to happen to me."
- Don't worry. There is room in the gas chamber for people in wheel chairs too, you fucking freeloading fat strain on the economy.

It sure sucks when a leopard eats your face.
- But why didn't anyone warn me that they were going to eat -my- face?! I'm a good
  <person with face>
  !!

Oh darn! If only somebody had warned them about what would happen...
- While I upvoted you, and we absolutely did tell them that. Many of them through no fault of their own weren't reached by the message. And that's something we need to figure out how to fix. Because with the consolidation of media and AI, this is only going to get worse.
  Patting ourselves on the back about being right. Will only comfort us so much, when our lack of reach etc. Continues to haunt us
  
  Interesting to see a clear problem at scale and have folks tell you it must just be individual failures
  Ya it’s definitely the fault of those lazy low-information Latinos who simply refuse to subscribe to the Economist and read it after their second eight-hour shift
  Also “why don’t the poor just inherit more coal?“
  
  Sticking your head in the sand and/or choosing to only watch extremely partisan news is indeed “fault of their own”. If they can’t be informed enough to make good decisions, perhaps they should simply refrain from voting altogether.
  
  Many of them through no fault of their own weren't reached by the message.
  That's where we disagree. Media bubbles exist but the internet makes it so easy to find opposing viewpoints that failing to do so should absolutely be considered a personal failure. They'd rather believe a comforting lie than confront the truth and that is how shitty people live their lives.
  
  Are you talking about 5 year olds? Otherwise I’m pretty sure everyone we’re talking about was on the planet during Trump’s last term.
  
  you choose not to engage with the political process
  it’s not anyone else's job to save you from your own choices
- But Trump promised* he wouldn't!
  *Not promised, but strongly implied.^†
  ^†By strongly implied, meaning "at least left open the possibility."^††
  ^††Except for the times he said the opposite thing.^†††
  ^†††This was every time.

"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.

Dumb fucks. It was obvious.

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.
- taps the sign
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews
- I remember some footage of a Latino Trump supporter giving a black woman shit in Trump's name, and wondering what the ever loving fuck. A variation on Hitler's rise to power is how many figurative Jews threw their full support behind him this time. I don't get it. I'll never get it. I'm sick of his stupid fucking face.
  
  I live in Colombia. People here self-identify as "white," and they're surprised that white people in the US think of them as a different race.
- They were hoping Trump would just hurt trans people. There's, unfortunately, a not small amount of bigotry in the USA's minority groups.
- But the leopard promised so many great things. I mean, sure, the leopard DID say outright that he would eat my face, but I thought surely he'd never eat MY face.
- The capacity of humanity to act against themselves is sometimes a wonder.

Barf. You guys were on the chopping block and you stuck your neck out for trump. I forgive you but how can you be so niave??

Whomp whooomp.
Trump could not have been clearer than he was.
- and emphasized many times.
  "i dont care about you, just your votes" " i dont care if you die, just your votes", "i love the poorly educated"

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

How did they not see this coming?
- gop smokescreen :blinded by fear of communism, and christianity. even vietnamese people down south are like this, actually viet people in most places.
- Whole lotta people suddenly surprised that Project 2025 wasn't just some "conspiracy theory", too....
- It's hard to see without head in the sand.

"¡Nunca pensé que los leopardos se comerían MI cara!"
- My Spanish is near non-existent but I was still able to read this perfectly.

Every one of these people is an idiot.

There are not nearly enough leopards to handle this amount of face eating.
- in the USA there are pumas and the occasional rare jaguar. plus wolves, and coyotes, and the house cats. maybe some peccaries can join in too, and some imported tigers.

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.
- And also what he literally said every time.
- Oh Mr. Trump, i wanted you to hurt OTHER people, not meeeeeeeee
  
  This isn't even ironic.
  https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-voter-hes-not-hurting-the-people-he-needs-be-hurting-msna1181316

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...
- Pochos

Gusanos and Malinches: What the hell did you expect?

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

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.

The first sighting of a true leopard in Latin America? or did the Jaguars eat their faces?
- jaguars and pumas, domestic cats once you pass away
- los pumas me comieron la cara

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

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.
- Yep. They wanted SOME families torn apart. Just not their own.
  
  Exactly.

Dumb fucks.
- As a ~~Latnino~~ Latino, I agree. Fucking embarrassing.
  
  Is that slang for a Latin child?

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.
- He tells it like it is.
  Also, he didn’t mean what he said.

“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.
- they fell for that authoritarianism is inherent and exclusive to communism. corporate authoritarianism tricked them into thinking it was their only protection from authoritarianism

I still don't get it, why would you, as a Latino, support trump? What the hell were you expecting to happen?
You're that meme of sheep looking at a sign of a wolf saying "I'm going to eat you" and go "I like him, he says it how it is!"
Idiots

Any Latino who voted for trump deserves what’s coming to them. We tried to warn you all.
- deserves what’s coming to them
  I assume it's at least some level of hyperbole, but nobody deserves the concentration camp.
  
  Trump deserves to be in a concentration camp because he remorselessly did it to other people
