Summary

Latino voters shifted significantly toward Donald Trump in 2024, driven largely by concerns over inflation, jobs, and immigration.

Trump garnered 45% of the Hispanic vote, a 13-point increase from 2020 and the highest for a Republican since 2004.

His economic message resonated, especially among Latino men, with many seeing him as a businessman focused on financial priorities over social issues. Immigration concerns also played a role, with some Latinos supporting Trump’s tougher stance on border control.

However, Latinas largely favored Kamala Harris, prioritizing issues like women’s rights.

So they voted for the guy who's stated goals of adding high tariffs to all imports and doing mass deportations of workers necessary to the agriculture industry will fuck the economy royally. Yeah, that makes sense.

It took me a long time to figure this out.
Trump lies with every breath. Even his supporters don't believe the literal truth of his words. They instead replace the literal meaning of his words, with the more broad idea that he's talking about the thing they like, in a way other politicians don't. That nebulous ephemeral feeling is what they are voting for.

Of course they can't understand that, let alone express it coherently. Which is why all their reasons are such incoherent straw-grasping.

I was trying to find the clip where the q-nut finds ex-president Garrison in the grocery store and tells him he knows what he's really saying, but Garrison just calls him a crazy son of a bitch; but I couldn't find it.

This one is clear enough though.

Makes no sense at all. Every time a GOPer is in power it has adverse effects on the economy. Every damn time!

Right? Democratic administrations have done better in almost every case for the last 75 years!

For well over a decade economists and other social scientists have documented a strong advantage in economic performance during Democratic administrations. A new Economic Policy Institute report updates this work to the latest data available and confirms that this Democratic advantage persists. Positive indicators like growth in gross domestic product (GDP), income, and wages are faster, while negative indicators like unemployment, inflation, and interest rates are lower. Further, the fruits of economic growth are distributed substantially more equally under Democratic presidents.

The only reason they haven't done even better than that is 80% of their time in office is busy fixing the last Republican fuckup before the public gets a chance to go and elect more Republicans again
