New polling conducted by Somos Votantes and the Global Strategy Group between August 26 and September 4 shows that Trump’s net approval rating among Latino voters has dropped from -11 points in February to -23 points in September.
His favorability rating has seen a similar drop, from -12 points in February to -20 points in September.
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.
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.
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.
“Why don’t they just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get educated about it”
Wikipedia is right there in a number of languages. Not asking people to do academic research, read above a 6th grade level, or leave their house.
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 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.
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?
Does this demographic also have to be supervised at meal times lest they try to eat the cutlery?
But hey, he promised: if you vote for me you’ll never have to vote again!
But what about his love for jesus? I thought he loves jesus?
Just supply side Jesus.
As though “voters” matter any more.
