Leopards and faces. Leopards and faces. Navy beans. Navy beans. Deportations.
Posting this headline here makes less sense than would a headline such as Majority of US White voters believe country headed in wrong direction.
- Latino
- Harris: 55%
- Trump: 43%
- White
- Harris: 42%
- Trump: 56%
Sure, those 43% of Latino Trump voters are dumb as fuck. The majority of Latinos voted Harris & likely agree those voters are dumbfucks.
- Latino
A Latino co-worker tipped his hat and exposed he likes Trump.
I told him straight to his face:
“You do realize Trump hates people like you? You realize Trump wouldn’t let you into the White House? You realize you’ll get grabbed and kicked out of the country before I will?”
A rare moment he was speechless. Stupid fucker.
White men/women and hispanic men were the largest groups that voted for Biden but stayed home for Harris.
They knew this would happen, they still chose this over voting for a woman.
Machismo culture is cancer.
My Hispanic ex-state trooper neighbor that participated in the death squad killing of Michael Reinoehl has a tiny mousey wife that put a Trump sticker on her car to vote before the election and then removed it after the election.
They haven’t changed their position. They have just hid their level of responsibility.
As much as it’s hard to resist laughing at them for believing Trump, these people are in legitimate danger. They’re getting no due process and are being sent wherever the fuck Trump wants to send them basically because they aren’t white. And if we can’t defend these people, regardless of whether or not the leopards ate their face, we will have nobody to defend us when it’s our turn. It’s not a matter of “if” but “when.”
And on the flip side, if you still support this shit show of an administration after everything we have seen, I hold nothing but absolute disdain. I can kinda understand falling for the grift and I can forgive someone if they realize they fucked up, but we are way past the point of plausible deniability if you still think this is at all a good thing.

Stop with this “oh but if you NOW still support him, then…” shit!
This guy was already an enormous racist in 2016. He stood on stage and talked about deporting “the lazy migrants” back then. No one else even dared to say that with clear words and he was voted into office and completely shit the bed while being a racist piece of shit.
Every single Latino (and also everyone one else), who voted for this orange turdface deserves everything that happens to them because of his politics.Fuck them!
they thought he would just deport everyone else
No mierde, hombre.
You best be carrying your citizenship docs around with you if you’re gonna be talking like that
No, they need to carry a firearm. When stopped by ICE:
- Tell them they only have authority on the US border or 100 miles from it.
- Tell them you have the right to be Constitutionally free from searches and seizures and do not consent.
- Treat ICE like an armed robber, murderer, or kidnapper, if they take you prisoner you are probably gone forever and not even the US Supreme court has authority to get them to release you or bring you back from where they take you … if you are armed, act appropriately.
ICE is made up of cowards and police wannabes, if the job gets to dangerous most will tap out and go back to yelling at 12 years olds on CoD Modern Warfare.
Tell them they only have authority on the US border or 100 miles from it.
Pretty sure they count international airports as borders, so within 100 miles of them too.
They may try and count airports … but that isn’t how it’s actually written. In the end they are border agents and don’t need to be interacting with US citizens on a normal basis.
No habla el fascismo…

Not to be pedantic but you are looking for “No mames güey”
Stupid cunts.
Is this really a leopards at my face thing?
I’m aware that some Latinos voted for Trump, but surely that wasn’t “most” of them.
An unreasonable number of black and hispanic voters voted republican because they have conservative values in regards to religion, LGBTQ people and the traditional role of women broadly, but also for just the weird narrative that’s been seeded into popular culture that anything left of “authoritarian tyrant” is going to squash religious freedom and the idea that Christianity is somehow under assault. They want things to stay consistent, old-fashioned and uncomplicated, most people do, and few people really think about it past that. Conservatism appeals to people who think their childhoods were better because of what the world was like, not what their limited perceptions were like.
Appeals to old-fashioned values resonated with people from catholic and deeply religious backgrounds, and this can encompass many ethnic minorities. Most asian families I know who are the very picture of kindness and hospitality also voted for Trump.
Not because they hate gays or women, but because they all work so much that the only news they get is from social media, which is flooded with right-wing propaganda and appeals to “working culture” and images of the “american dream” that many of them worked nearly to death to try to achieve. The algorithm downplays talk about immigration and all the talk that would sour particular groups against the right.
Our country is sabotaged and our people are being manipulated. The fact that so many people of color have to struggle non-stop, 7-days a week to get by really crushes their chances for educating themselves on civics, politics, or many other things. This is the same effect that was played on many white voters, but again, the right was very deliberate in targeting people by their ethnicity and background and finding the issues that appeal to the most dumb, insecure men of that community, who also happen to be the people with the loudest voices and thus most influence on their peers. We have to be able to call out the fact that abject idiocy and toxic hatefulness exists in every race and ethnicity, and that there are people out there with infinite pocketbooks who can play those people like fiddles.
It would be genius if it wasn’t undoing 30,000 years of progress in building a peaceful civilization.
Harris won 56% of the Latino vote to Trumps 42%, but that was 14% more than previously.
Latinos who earned less than $50K voted 54% for Trump, as did those who make over $100K.
Trump also received over 50% of the male Latino vote.
Not most, but huge chunks voted for someone who said he’d target them, thinking they were “the good ones.” Completely forgetting his first term.
Fair enough. That is a larger portion than I had realised. During the campaign I def thought that any Trump voter who wasn’t a wealthy white male was voting against their interests.
Trump’s not even good for wealthy white males, the demographic he best serves is poor white males who might reasonably get by on privilege if everyone else is fucked over enough
Realistically any “bring back manufacturing” plan can work it just takes a long time, even longer when you start making the world very economically uncertain.
But lets say John Deere decides to move some foreign component manufacture back to the us and builds a factory to do it in record time. They will not be building in downtown Manhattan, they will build in Deerdick Alabama because the land costs nothing and the local unskilled labor isnt spoiled for options so are unlikely to stand up to management or quit. If you can repeat that 100 times across the country in these poorer rural red states thats going to benefit his core greatly.
It can’t work without a few hundred million immigrants, and we’re going in the opposite direction.
Theres only a “few hundred million” Americans.
Exactly. The population would basically need to double to be able to bring manufacturing back here.

I thought I read somewhere that it really can’t, recently. The theory was basically that America “outgrew” being a manufacturing economy and grew into a service economy.
The way it was posed made it seem like even if the huge investment was made to build manufacturing in Deerdick, Alabama to take advantage of cheep land and unskilled labor, that won’t last. That serves as a stepping stone for advancement for each group that comes behind because those poor, unskilled locals with no options aren’t oppressed anymore.
I would imagine a metric shit-ton of money got poured into the Latinos for Trump movement. It was very effective.
They certainly did in Florida, where the democrats pretty much completely pulled funding, thinking it was a lost cause.
As I understand it, that’s in large part because of the Cuban expat community, who are mainly a single issue demographic focused on “fuck the Castros”.
It’s worth mentioning at every chance that south Florida had a radically different Latino/Caribbean population than the rest of the states. Cubans, sure. But also larger representations of every south/central American country. The wealthy Latinos also flock there. They will snowbird there the same as New Yorkers or Canadians. Theres an older generation with much stronger ties to religion. All of this contributes little by little towards the Latino population leaning right in south florida.
