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.”
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”
Something something about leopards eating faces……
Even worse, these are people that voted for the leopards that explicitly said they’d eat YOUR faces party, thought they must surely just be joking, or something!
Dumb fucks.
As a
LatninoLatino, I agree. Fucking embarrassing.Is that slang for a Latin child?
😅
If only someone had told them …
We never could have seen this coming!
/s
Not betrayed. Victims of their own stupidity. A bunch of ladder pullers.

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.
The first sighting of a true leopard in Latin America? or did the Jaguars eat their faces?
los pumas me comieron la cara
jaguars and pumas, domestic cats once you pass away
Any Latino who voted for trump deserves what’s coming to them. We tried to warn you all.
deserves what’s coming to them
I assume it’s at least some level of hyperbole, but nobody deserves the concentration camp.
Trump deserves to be in a concentration camp because he remorselessly did it to other people
There aren’t enough Trump’s to have a high enough concentration of them to call it a concentration camp. He deserves righteous infliction of retribution. But I still wouldn’t advocate for crimes against humanity on anyone.
I’m currently high and have decided nobody else should ever be arrested until Trump gets arrested. No, I did not think that through
😅
How did they not see this coming?
Whole lotta people suddenly surprised that Project 2025 wasn’t just some “conspiracy theory”, too…
It’s hard to see without head in the sand.
gop smokescreen :blinded by fear of communism, and christianity. even vietnamese people down south are like this, actually viet people in most places.
Who could have predicted the man who opened his first presidential run by calling latino immigrants rapists would do this? /s
“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.”
This is what wilful stupidity gets you.
Don’t even pretend that no one warned you.
they fell for that authoritarianism is inherent and exclusive to communism. corporate authoritarianism tricked them into thinking it was their only protection from authoritarianism
“I just don’t understand why he betrayed Us, I mean… he did nothing but campaign on open contempt for our people, but surely he cant be held accountable for that! This is just so unexpected and blindsiding us!”
I’m sure the Latin community are still having the day they voted for.
the gop might speak “latin” to be on terms with them. maybe thier pastors can start reading the bible in latin like the old times of catholic.
I still don’t get it, why would you, as a Latino, support trump? What the hell were you expecting to happen?
You’re that meme of sheep looking at a sign of a wolf saying “I’m going to eat you” and go “I like him, he says it how it is!”
Idiots
