Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. 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.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Trump's support among Latinos has plummeted as he nears his first 100 days in office, with many saying they feel betrayed by the scope of his policies, particularly immigration enforcement.

Almost three in four Latinos (72%) now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.

Many Venezuelans, for example, have been impacted by the decision to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

“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.”

Unfortunately a lot of the latino vote comes from the religious, macho, and anti-liberal attitudes they hold. Lots of them are catholic, and even if the republicans are absolutely full of shit when it comes to being “Christian”, their propaganda claiming they are has been very effective. The latter two are in a way perversely tied together. They like macho “strong man” leaders, but unfortunately there are a lot of latin/hispanic countries run by strong man leaders claiming to be liberal leftists that are nothing more than tyrants and authoritarians that wreck their countries. So they vote anti-liberal, associating liberal with tyrants, while supporting yet another “strong man” fascist that will fuck the country up.

*I am not latin, however I worked in a latin country and have worked with several latin/hispanic people and learned what I could about their country, culture and politics, and this is how it was explained to me.

As a fellow Latino, I feel nothing for them.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago

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

[–] DarkGamer@fedia.io 13 points 3 days ago

Who could have predicted the man who opened his first presidential run by calling latino immigrants rapists would do this? /s

[–] F_OFF_Reddit@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 9 points 3 days ago

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

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 days ago

Dumb fucks. It was obvious.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I’m sure that if they could go back in time, they’d still vote for that man over a woman.

[–] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago

this is absolutely a leopards ate my face moment but let’s not forget that Latine people are not trump’s base. lots of people make it seem like he won because Latine people voted for him when that’s just not the case.

his base is, remains and always has been white racists.

Latino here, these people are morons

Gusanos and Malinches: What the hell did you expect?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

he was always going to betray hispanic people, the gop never liked them.

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I see no betrayal here. He said what he was going to do, and the trees voted for the axe.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Well, well, well .... LOL.
