Latino men voted for Trump in large numbers. Here’s what they hope he delivers. - eviltoast

Summary

Latino men played a key role in Donald Trump’s election victory, with 43-55% supporting him, drawn by promises of economic relief, job opportunities, and small business support.

Despite higher workforce participation, many Latino men face wage gaps, dangerous jobs, and lower educational attainment compared to other groups.

Some prioritize trade skills or entrepreneurship over college, seeking practical returns on investment.

Experts highlight the need for policies addressing economic barriers, job training, and health coverage to sustain their support.

Future voting will depend on whether these voters see tangible progress in achieving the American Dream.

    80% of Latinos are citizens and those that voted must hold citizenship. Expressing shaudenfraude over the possibility of denaturalization is a level of capitulation so profound it makes it feel as if some of our liberal brethren are invertebrates.

    White liberals taking joy in the fact that they and their families can have freedom of choice reinforces age old racial hierarchies. Yes, your uncle might be a racist, sexist, narcissist, but no one is going to question their citizenship over it.

    Meanwhile, PoC must vote Democrat and if they don’t, their white liberal compatriots will applaud when they’re put in cages and extricated from the country. The racial hierarchy is reinforced when PoC are not granted agency.

    They must vote the way I think is right. Otherwise, I will join hands with my regressive conservative kin and shamelessly capitulate as we take glee in the racial purification of America.

    Do you all even believe in what you say you believe in? If these are our allies, who needs enemies?

      I’m sure the Jews thought they were fine too, I’m sure their citizenship will help them when they get black bagged onto a bus to sit in a cage with no trial because Karen called ICE
