“Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office, in the minds of Latinos it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers,” said CNN data chief Harry Enten on Monday.

Enten pointed out that Trump was nearly tied with 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris with Latinos on immigration, where the former vice president enjoyed a 2 percentage-point advantage over Trump in October 2024.

Now, Trump has a -38 net approval rating with Latinos on immigration.

Saved you a click: it's Latinos, and it's because of immigration.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 47 points 5 months ago

It would be nice if MAGA could admit that the pedophile shit is hurting them. Im skeptical that it is honestly.

[-] plateee@piefed.social 45 points 5 months ago

You have to remember, conservatives somehow can wildly object to multiple things in the GOP platform but still vote R up and down the ticket as long as they agree with just one thing.

Pro-life? Better vote for the pro-life people who are all about zero gun control, mandatory death sentences, and no government supported prenatal care - not to mention fucking over immigrant kids/splitting up families!

Love hunting with guns? Better vote for the gun loving people who also want to sell off our national forests, remove all environmental protections, and privatize our parks.

You’d think lots of them would at least draw the line at pedophilia.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Not just "pedophile", but "child rapist who was close friends with the most notorious child sex trafficker in modern history and transparently had him murdered to cover it up".

Saved me a click, gave you an updoot.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 91 points 5 months ago

I fucking wish these people didn't have to learn the hard way... "We" were telling them he'd do this, he was telling them he'd do this, but who know what they were thinking to believe it wasn't going to go down like this...

[-] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

Voters are lazy. I would assume it’s because they equated his first four years to prosperity (it wasn’t) and assumed it would be more of the same.

[-] halowpeano@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

Few groups hate "illegals" more than immigrants. They did it the "hard way" so it shouldn't be easy for anyone else.

[-] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 43 points 5 months ago

Reminds me of this.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Plot twist - turns out they may just be rounded up and disappeared by the ICEstapo, too. People like Stephen Miller and Bannon don't GAF if brown people have papers. The "illegal" rhetoric is just a ruse.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

Idk how anyone would say the first 4 years were prosperous. When he left office we weren't allowed to leave our house or stand closer than 5 feet to each other and people were freaking out about having to wear masks. People were hoarding toilet paper. That doesn't seem prosperous to me

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

Pretty sure that Donvict and Pence were throwing rallies with the slogan "promises made, promises kept" in 2020, too. I kept thinking - really, they promised THIS? A worldwide pandemic that they completely screwed the pooch on?

I would assume they were happy to close the door behind them, when it comes to immigration. I think they did not expect their friends and family would be deported.

[-] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 66 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I find it hard to feel any sympathy for Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024. This guy's whole platform in 2016 was being racist towards Latinos and he stops saying overtly racist shit for just a bit during the election and people fall for that? It kind of stretches my imagination to think of how someone could be that stupid.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Reminds me of the south park episode from 2016 or 17 when people were mad president garrison was fucking people to death and he was incredulous because that was his whole campaign.

He...doesn't...care....

He only needed to get voted in once (well...twice...the first was a trial run). He used the time to take control of every single lever of power through cronyism or outright criminality. Votes don't matter because no matter what the votes say, the people controlling the election will simply say "Trump won", and when the legal argument against the obvious election rigging gets to the supreme court, they'l affirm it. This is by design.

Or, also possible, Trump will simply not have an election using an excuse of "we're at war" or whatever.

He doesn't need you. He doesn't want you. You can all die for all he gives a shit, so long as he and his rich friends keep making money off the presidency.

There is no "voting" your way out of this bullshit.

Who could have predicted betraying the voting base that handed you the last election would go poorly?

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 34 points 5 months ago

Sure, but why would he give a shit? They're doing everything they can to make sure he doesn't need a single vote to stay president.

That'll teach my fellow Latinos to not vote Republican for this and only this election cycle!

[-] man_wtfhappenedtoyou@lemmy.world 35 points 5 months ago

I still can't believe people were this fucking stupid.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago

This was from before 2024 election, for example:

Donvict was pledging to deport millions. Just where do people think these millions were going to come from?

“He’s not meaning to go and deport every family that crosses the border, he means deport the criminals and the sex offenders,” Peña said.

Every time I read shit like this I feel like I'm gonna have an aneurysm.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

After decades of fear mongering they thought there were millions of illegal immigrants

[-] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 33 points 5 months ago

I hate reporting these days, reporter phrases it like a giant unsolvable mystery.

[-] obre@slrpnk.net 16 points 5 months ago

Agreed, it's such a punt. Why do any actual political analysis when you can just look at data. Why directly criticize trump for empowering a fascist paramilitary, weaponizing it against good, hard-working people looking for a better life, and immiserating hundreds of thousands of people by tearing families and communities apart. You can just point at Spanberger '25 being +22 compared to Harris '24. Fuck CNN.

"I mean" as I broadly gestured towards everything

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

I just don't understand people at all. How any more than 0% Latinos supported him is a real mystery, but I'm supposing of the ones that did support him and did know that he is affiliated with the likes of Stephen Miller and lots and lots of his white supporters want to deport them - of that number, those people probably thought they are one of the "good ones", he doesn't really mean it other than getting really bad criminals, etc..

No, he and his ilk want to kidnap and deport you. Yes, this means YOU. Even if you have citizenship, even if you supported him, even if you are registered Republican. Republicans like Stephen Miller and the groypers and so on want this to be a white America for white Americans.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 months ago

Read about Cubans, the GOP, Kennedy, and The Bay of Pigs.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 14 points 5 months ago

So they went from 50% support to 30% support. That's a pretty hefty change, but given that they're the regimes primary victims I have to wonder what those remaining 30% are thinking.

PS: In the current stage of American politics, voting blocs are meaningless.

[-] Tehbaz@lemmy.wtf 7 points 5 months ago

Their only thought: "fuck you, I got mine"

[-] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

It sure would be nICE to know why. I guess we’ll never know.

[-] MdRuckus@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Gee, I wonder why Latinos would dislike Trump…

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

I wonder why they didn't dislike him during the election.

The left: "He's going to deport you."

Trump: "I will deport them."

Latinos: "Well this seems like a guy I can trust!"

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 5 months ago

Don't underestimate how much machismo and acting like a tough guy matters to men in Latino cultures. That's all the men saw and that's all that mattered to them.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

It's so weird that the super-soft (10 ply even) Manhattanite who has never worked a real job in his entire life is perceived as a "tough guy".

Not sure, but it apparently wasn't an issue a a year ago for them.

Didn't he do fairly well with them in the election? Real leopard energy.
