Tuesday night’s explosive rout of the Republican party was supercharged by the fury of Hispanic Americans who turned out in record numbers in key battlegrounds to protest the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant assault on their communities.
“Trump went against us,” said Benny Melendez from Weslaco, Texas. “He made us the target of ICE operations, so we decided to punish him by voting against his party. That’s what happened.”
So . . . learned not that much?
Trump didn’t come up with his ICE gestapo, the republican party did. Conservatives are racist. Latino voters for trump were lied to, classic “family values” lies, and it will happen again with the next GOP candidate.
A lot of my fellow Latinos were very fucking stupid for voting in Trump. They were basically told - to their face - that a lot of them would be arrested and deported. After all that they they just went with it either because they thought they’d make more money and a bunch of empowered racists would leave them alone for some reason.
“In a real fourth reich, you’d be the first to go!”
*duped. The word you’re looking for isn’t wooed but duped
Well, they got what they voted for, at least they are trying to do something about it this time. LAMF
