'It's simple, really' - why Latinos flocked to Trump
'It's simple, really' - why Latinos flocked to Trump
As well as winning over Hispanic voters, Trump improved his position in some surprising corners.
Summary
"It's simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago," said Samuel Negron, a Pennsylvania state constable and member of the large Puerto Rican community in the city of Allentown.
Donald Trump achieved a decisive victory over Kamala Harris, capturing key demographics that traditionally supported Democrats. He gained substantial support from white working-class voters, saw a 14-point increase among Latino voters, and performed better than expected with younger voters, especially men.
Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were central to Trump’s appeal, with voters across states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin favoring his promises of lower prices and stricter immigration policies.
Harris struggled to retain support in diverse and working-class areas, as voters blamed Democrats for economic hardships.

It's simple, really. You and your loved ones will be the first to be tossed on buses when they start collecting people. Enjoy 😊
^ no I'm not remotely happy about this. But I guess people gotta find out that hard way.
No you don’t understand, they’re the good ones who came here legally. Nevermind all the rest.
No but realistically, it would be logistically impossible to round up eleven million people.

lol immigrants have guns and border employees are not ready to die for trumps ideology.
Guns don't do shit against drones. Enjoy your future hiding from white supremacists doing "human safari" tactics.
Imagine having a drone knock on your door.
I'm guessing these guys somehow missed the /c/Ukraine posts of the drones absolutely destroying the exact kind of minivans these people drive? And that's Ukraine
They'd be fucked against a modern US military actually hunting them, if they ever left their homes
Who says it needs to be government employees?
I’m sure there’s plenty of militias out there who would be happy to do all this rounding up for Trump, once he gives them a wink and a nod. Wouldn't even need to pay them.
Well citizens and militias would have no legal authority. So yeah. Go to the park, go in nature. Lemmy is really trying hard to out some doom-scape ideals.
Also: THEY ARE NOT READY TO DIE FOR THIS.
How would you know?
Forget about Jan. 6th 2021 already? I don't recall any legal authority there and yet it still happened.
Also, we've had bounty programs in the past for populations of people.
Yeah, perfect example, 1 person shot and the roaches scattered. Also the Capitol police were there so……
Bounty Programs in the past, let’s keep the discussion within the realm of possibility
