Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

This just tells us they are just as stupid as whites. They could have seen this coming as easily as whites.
Crocodile tears.
Too little too late
Only -11 points? Thats all?
And this is why Trump is going to create an emergency or declare war before the 2026 elections.
They won't be able to vote, so it doesn't matter.
2028 will only be white, cis, land-owning men voting.
And even their votes won't count. The numbers will be mostly made up.
I was gonna say, I'm of the demographic and they'd still find a way to take my vote because of living in a blue city.
Take your vote because of (not voting the right way)
Why gee, 8 months later, the latinos who inexplicably voted for the guy who spat right in their face finally realize he's not their friend?
MAGA voters of all stripes ain't too bright I guess...
I think a lot of it comes down to news and education. Every bit of media they consume assured them that Trump was a no-nonsense tough guy who would tackle head on some of the issues that were of genuine concern to them. There are billions of dollars that go into manipulating the landscape in all kinds of ways to make sure that is all they were presented with. And so, that's the basis they decided on. What else could they do?
Sure, you and me exist in a media landscape where that's a laughable joke, but I don't think you can necessarily blame them for not having lucked their way into the same places that we exist on. The white people, who were waving around signs saying "Mass Deportations Now" and then got all upset when it turned around on them, I think you can blame, but I think a lot of people of a lot of different ethnicities and backgrounds just got fooled by all the propaganda that is so polished and professional at this point.
What else could they do?
Have memories that go back to 2016-2020
Oh fuck that, quit letting idiots off the hook for being idiots. There was, and still is, an absurd amount of information readily available about how shitty Trump is. If the people you're talking about cared at all they could have found it easily, but they didn't. That's not anyone else's fault but theirs.
But this was the first Trump presidency. They had gone through it before. They knew what was going to happen.
Attention spans are short.
You see how fast everyone totally forgot about COVID-19?
Attention and political memory are very short, especially if you don't closely follow and understand the things being done in the legislature.
Attention spans are short is a valid explanation, but not a valid excuse to escape blame.
Oh, well, that's OK then?
Forgot about what, now?
I realized how stupid people were when I was younger (late teens). I always figured that I had to out think a handful of people to accomplish whatever it was I wanted to do.
Mind you that their are a lot of people smarter than me (IQ) or that have more "common sense" but the combination of the two I rare.
Anyone with eyes should be able yo see how shit Trump is but they don't and it hurts my brain.
If you have any sense at all please run for local office and please push democratic socialist views.
Does this demographic also have to be supervised at meal times lest they try to eat the cutlery?
It never should have been high, if they had only paid attention. Goes for anyone really, but Latino support was an oddity. This guy was going to help you? Really?
But hey, he promised: if you vote for me you'll never have to vote again!
Proof that Trump can deliver on his promises!
But what about his love for jesus? I thought he loves jesus?
Just supply side Jesus.
As though "voters" matter any more.
