Summary
Trump’s support among Latinos has plummeted as he nears his first 100 days in office, with many saying they feel betrayed by the scope of his policies, particularly immigration enforcement.
Almost three in four Latinos (72%) now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.
Many Venezuelans, for example, have been impacted by the decision to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they’re going to come take me somewhere I won’t be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”
just like military vets,“suckers and losers, whats in it for them”-donald trump.
What’s the word for leopard in uh… Spanish?
in this case it would jaguars and pumas.
El Opardo!

he was always going to betray hispanic people, the gop never liked them.
I see no betrayal here. He said what he was going to do, and the trees voted for the axe.
If you voted Trump as a Latino, that’s a special sort of stupid.
latinos down south have been brainwashed and indoctrinated since thier parents immigrated here decades ago,.
They’ll vote for whoever replaces him too. Nobody had learned any real lesson.
In 2020 the democrats were calling the border wall racist and they won, then in 2024 it was “we’re the ones who are actually gonna build the wall, Trump’s all talk.” They literally tried to position themselves to the right of Republicans on the issue in order to win over the mythical centrists, and predictably what happened was that their support among Latinos broke down.
A lot of these people are religious and conservative, but were willing to vote for Democrats as long as there was substantial differences on race/immigration. But even if they were the “lesser evil” on immigration from a pro-immigrant perspective - something which they denied as hard as they could, by the way - if the difference didn’t appear substantial any more, if it was framed in technical arguments about how to do it rather than moral arguments about what to do, then many of them no longer saw it as damning and voted based on other issues where they’re more aligned with Republicans.
This is often what swing voters actually look like, by the way, and why pivoting to the right to capture them is often counterproductive. It turns out pivoting right on an issue where doing so directly harms millions of people so you can appeal to the dozen or so people who like Dick Cheney loses elections. Swing voters are a lot more complex than the idiotic “conventional wisdom” that just has everyone at a different point on a one dimensional left-right scale.
LOL? Betrayed?
This is the fucking party, chuckleheads. They want you gone. Doesn’t matter if you were born here.
Stop voting for these motherfuckers. Not one Republican should ever be allowed into office.
As a fellow Latino, I feel nothing for them.
The thing is RELIGION. Most Latinx people are religious and more specifically Catholics. Abrahamic religions are extremely misogynistic and homophobic. All Trump had to do was show how much he hates women and the LGBTQ+ community and a lot of Latinx were willing to ignore his racism because they thought Trump would help them punch down on women and gay people. They thought they would avoid getting their faces eaten by the leopard by offing the faces of others in sacrifice to the leopard.
Latinx
Don’t say this, just say Latin if you don’t want to gender or people from the Americas if you want to refer to Central/South Americans
Abrahamic religions are extremely misogynistic and homophobic.
I agree but you’re ignoring the “i’m one of the good ones” mentality
Trump says he’s only going after criminals, that couldn’t be me.
It’s like when he says legal immigrants cheating the system and legal immigrants love it because they know they didn’t cheat so it must be other ones
But you do highlight why PR isn’t a state. Democrats don’t want another Republican state and Republicans don’t like white people speaking Spanish
I mean, what did they expect?
Don’t worry. There is room in the gas chamber for people in wheel chairs too, you fucking freeloading fat strain on the economy.
Every one of these people is an idiot.
It sure sucks when a leopard eats your face.
But why didn’t anyone warn me that they were going to eat -my- face?! I’m a good <person with face>!!
What in the actual fuck did they think was going to happen? He spent his entire campaign specifically saying he was going to do this.
“Man says ‘ow!’ after shooting self in liver - more at 11.”
Whomp whooomp.
Trump could not have been clearer than he was.
and emphasized many times.
“i dont care about you, just your votes” " i dont care if you die, just your votes", “i love the poorly educated”
Barf. You guys were on the chopping block and you stuck your neck out for trump. I forgive you but how can you be so niave??
