Real talk, every time I go home, my parents throw the word around everywhere (In their home. They suck, but aren't stupid). They justify it by saying "it's just a trashy person of any color". So I tell them to go ahead use it in public to see what the response is. I still don't think they've tried it. At least not in any circles that will get them in an ass whooping situation
Sorry, I'm a latino, Mexicano, living in México, so I don't really have the slightest idea of how did this happen. Can someone give it a try?
EDIT: While I appreciate all of your replies, I'm even more confused as I see people mentioning "hispanic americans" as a synonym for "latino". This was an interesting read about the confusion. However, the reasons seem to be addressed against Hispanic Americans, but the meme os against Latinos. It feels a bit artificial or even prejudicial. Sorry for this edit, I'm not really sure about what I'm trying to say.
Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don't see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don't feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.
Why doesn't working class matter? Because such people generally aren't as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.

If only there was a party that had education about policies part of their ideology.
Mexico has been a tidal wave of leftist political energy. Its so funny to hear Mayo Americans complain about electing one of their own, after they turned out in droves for him.
With you on the first line, but sitting down with Rogan would not have changed anything. Especially with Rogans preferential treatment of right wing figures if anyone's been paying attention. But the DNC 100% fucked up.
The Democratic campaign underestimated just how stupid, racist, and misogynistic the average US citzen is. Don't get me wrong, they should've known and definitely could've ran a better campaign, but this is mostly on Americans being too dumb to know what's best for them.
I personally don't blame any minorities, considering white men and women were by far the most prominent Trump voters. The US is a country of racist dumbasses.
She offered nothing for working class and then refused to sit down with Rogan.
One of these is unforgiveable. But also, after liberals went absolutely apeshit over Bernie sitting down with Rogan, I can see why Harris was hesitant.
I also remember when people were very excited about student debt relief and an increased min wage and the Green New Deal jobs program and finally putting an end to Kids In Cages and Gitmo and the ugly foreign wars and... Oops.
So exhausted of the minority bashing on lemmy and other leftist/alternative social media, it was here before but it got way worse after the election. Anybody who thinks its ok to judge an entire population of peoples based on the political associations of some is fucking stupid and can fuck right off.
One of the reasons why I took a break from Lemmy for election week is I stopped being able to tell Hasbera from Democrats. In fact, the Hasbera are still trolling on Lemmy and reddit, blaming Palestinians for Harris's lost.
We have been arguing Democrats are a party without a people for a long time. At this point, I honestly feel anything I type is lost to the void
It's incredibly infuriating. And the worst part is you already see democrat mainstream media types setting their crosshairs on trans people. In 2028, the democratic party will run on the 2024 republican platform, just like they ran on the 2020 republican platform today, and there's nothing we can do to stop it, because of these idiotic shitlibs.
If anyhing, it's fucking hilarious, and they deserve to be laughed at. Maybe you won't do dumb shit next time if you're scared it'll be used to make you look bad
Just the zoomers with brain rot. Black voters went from like 90% to 80% Democrats.
You're probably confused because some headline said Trump doubled his support among black men and it didn't mention the baseline was 15%. Which is, ya know, fucking stupid of them in the first place but it is what it is.
The shift is kind of what's important. Actual black woman Kamala Harris couldn't maintain the same level of support among black voters as Joe "You Ain't Black" Biden. There are some pretty severe flaws in Harris's campaign strategy that we need to study and rectify in the next four years.
Actually my cousin's friend Jeremy gave me a one-time pass as long as I don't tell his mom he threw rocks into Ms. Jones's garden, but aside from that I agree.
This country has got two brown people's, ok three. Nah 4 if you count Peruvians. Ok 5, cuz of the Indian. Anyway! There's the Hispanics and the Latinos....and the Latinos have got to go! WTF! Voting for Trump for?
Just kidding 😂. You know what happened in your gut. They actually did rig the elections.
