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.

Research shows 70% disapprove of job US president – who won backing of nearly half of Latino voters in 2024 – is doing

A majority of Latinos disapprove of Donald Trump and his economic and immigration policies, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center.

After receiving support from nearly half of Latino voters in the 2024 election, Trump had lost the backing of a majority surveyed in October. Pew found that 70% of Latinos “disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president”, while 65% disapprove of his administration’s approach to immigration and 61% believe his economic policies have worsened economic conditions.

Trump won 48% of the Latino vote in 2024, up from 28% in 2016. Latinos, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States, account for one in five Americans.

Immigrants that vote for candidate with anti-immigrant and racist policies shocked that said candidate’s policy will impact them and their loved ones.

Film at 11.

From my understanding, Spanish translations broadly sane-washed his speeches.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

So does most English print media and editorial content. They give a synopsis of what he supposedly was trying to say instead of putting his actual babble in it's entirety most of the time.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

...they did, and if you translate actual ads into spanish, people were abhorrent...oh well...

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Don't assume Hispanic means immigrant.

If only ICE could see this

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

And somehow Lemmy thinks illegal immigrants vote.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Cut them some slack! The alternative was a lady, after all. What did you expect them to choose?

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 4 points 1 day ago

But if I vote for the rich boss guy, surely that makes me a rich boss guy too

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm sorry, but.... I don't care who you are, but if you were alive/in the USA for Trump's first term, and you voted for him in 2024, you are vulnerable mentally and seriously need to be made aware of that.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago
  • If you voted for trump in 2016, you made a stupid mistake.
  • If you voted for trump in 2020, you are a stupid person.
  • If you voted for trump in 2024, you are a fascist asshole.
[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 day ago

Majority of Latino voters disapproved him during 2024 election.

It was just that he did get more Latino voters than expected.

100% of people who answer the phone from random strangers and have 30 minutes to spare doing a survey for free are completely normal and representative of average people.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you met average people?

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

i’m haven’t met a statistically significant number of people, high enough to calculate a baseline average for all people, no

also i only meet people from a narrow subset of all people who are in my general caste

They voted for him after he said immigrants are eating dogs and cats, a little slow eh

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They voted for him.

Sure, he will ban abortions which makes the hispanic Catholics happy ... but then he sends out ICE to deport them.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, my thoughts on this are “well they still overwhelmingly voted for him. And they’ll overwhelmingly vote for whoever the next republican is once Trump croaks.” Trump wasn’t keeping his ICE plans secret. He was saying it with his whole chest, and conservative talking heads were screaming it from the rooftops. If they didn’t get the hint, it’s their own fucking fault.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

Immigrants have this strange habit of immediately shitting on other immigrants, this is universal.

Trump support is just about getting rid of any current or future competition. I got my citizenship, fuck you.

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So 35-40% are still on board huh?

Religion is a hell of a drug

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Hopefully they flip some of those Texas seats. Texans are really get fucked hard by their government officials

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago

81% of those who voted for Trump approve of the president’s job

also

After the 2024 election, Latinos, particularly Latino men, credited Trump’s economic proposals and immigration policies – suggesting he was not serious about threats of mass deportations – for winning their vote.

At the time, two-thirds of Latinos said they “do not feel like he is talking about me” when Trump discussed his immigration policies

How ignorant do you have to be to have seen Trump's first term, then heard the rhetoric of him running again twice, and thought "yes his racism is against people like me, but surely he'll know I'm one of the good ones"?

And 81% of those people still believe that after everything that's happened so far!

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

Majority of ~~Latino~~ voters disapprove of Trump

At this point it's a hypothetical (and maybe always was), but if Trump legally won another election I'd recommend euthanasia for large parts of the US population.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Majority of voters apparently couldn't be arsed to stop a pedophile rapist with a shitty presidential track record from taking the presidency. Again.

Majority of voters absolutely deserve the shitstorm they are in.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

...and they couldn't see this BEFORE the election?.. I thank you for the late offensive, but the game is completely different because of this.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

If they had been smart enough to disapprove of him because of his obvious racism, the US probably would not be in this mess.
