With the Hispanic people I know that prefer Trump, it’s the usual trumpist/Republican reasoning. Even down to anti-immigration, from a person who’s father was an undocumented immigrant. Propaganda and desire to be in the in-group among your peers is wild.
i guess i’m probably just most confused by the fact that people would vote for trump at all lol
You, me. The entire sane world.
It’s truly perplexing why most these people would vote for the guy. Or even donate to his political campaign since he brags about not needing donations…(and his lawyers fees… yesh.)
yeah, idk, one of the mysteries of our age, bound to be present until the end of time. Until someone covers it in a significant historical context that is.
the fear of socialism is the only good one i can think of, but often times these people are coming from authoritarian type countries or places, i’ve heard theories that they leave the persecution, only to desire it once more upon leaving, hence the voting for trump. We’ve seen similar things with east germany, after they reunited there was an interesting problem with “self determination” people are generally happier with less choices, weirdly enough.
i doubt religion is significant, but maybe they just don’t understand the US government structure. That’s my other theory, they just don’t understand how the government works at all, and end up picking the bad candidate.
Maybe the small business owner thing, but are these people more likely to own small businesses? i’m not sure, i think most of them would be in the labor economy, education or something else. Rather than entrepreneurship.
It’ll probably work. Most Hispanic people I’ve met that vote love Trump.
why? Is it the usual trumpist reasoning? Or something else.

yeah that makes sense i suppose. What a weird timeline to live in hey?
Latinos themselves are not a very cohesive group.
Many are die-hard Catholics. Many fled from Cuba and will vote against anything that looks like communism.
But that’s far from all Latinos, or even all Cuban immigrants.
It’s important to not lump everyone together.
hm, that makes sense with what i’ve heard so far, so i guess that shouldn’t surprise me.

I have no idea. Fear of “socialism”? Religion? The myth that republicans are good for small business owners?
