Are about to get a lesson in faces being eaten by leopards.
You see, to the white, racist motherfuckers, they are a monolith.
Oh, my wife is a Latina, if I get one whiff, one sniff of some Motherfucker voter getting in her face over her heritage.......

(13,644 posts)It is driven by the racist fear of the "Great Replacement Theory" that Whites will become a minority in the USA.
This vile racism doesn't just apply to undocumented immigrants; it also applies to immigrants and their descendants who have become citizens -- because THAT is what they fear the most -- more non-whites becoming US citizens with voting rights.

(8,002 posts)...no matter what you do you will get no credit for it.
It doesn't matter if you are tough on immigration, if the other side paints you as weak and stovepipes it to their gullible lemmings 24/7.
We are truly in a disinformation regime, driven by algorithms, designed by sociopaths.
The majority voted for a rapist!
Let that sink in...

thatdemguy
(555 posts)His entire family did, they are from Peru and according to him they spent years to come here legally, and all got their citizenship. He feels that the Democratic party does not represent him. A lot of it is due to him feeling that allowing the border stuff and helping to support the migrants is basically a slap in his face because his family did it "right". He is like we came here with nothing, and were given nothing after spending a bunch of time to do it legally is just wrong to see other be given support and in his words " given a free ride"
We have had a few various discussions around the office, one of the ladies walked away when I called her selfish for her opinion on abortion, as she said she is old enough it wont effect her.
Mr.Bill
(24,903 posts)I moved here in 1961. Back then, I came from Virginia and Maryland. I had never met or spoken to a Latino. My third grade classroom was a total melting pot. About one third Mexican and one tenth Black. I got along just fine, but even back then, the Mexicans had a saying. "We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us."
eppur_se_muova
(37,862 posts)The USA land grab of 1848 would likely be in violation of international law today.
Many families in TX and other southwest states were living there long before the US existed, yet their modern-day descendants are treated as "outsiders" and "aliens".
Many Mexican citizens fought alongside American immigrants in the battle for TX independence -- several towns in TX are named after their leaders. Once TX had established its independence, the land grants given by the Spanish king to Mexicans were abrogated by the all-white gov't of TX, leaving families that had been there for generations without property. Salaries of the TX legislature were deliberately kept low, meaning only the well-to-do white ranchers could really afford to serve in office, and those who managed to get elected without wealth to support them were left susceptible to bribery. TX gov't was designed to be bigoted and corrupt from the very beginning, and it hasn't changed all that much.

(Yes, Spain acquired the LA territory from France following the French & Indian Wars. Napoleon re-acquired it from Spain in 1800, and sent occupying troops in 1802. I didn't include it in the "one quarter" approximation, since Spanish control was short-lived, and the territory was sold to the US in a peaceful transaction.)
Farmer-Rick
(11,581 posts)If you are legal or illegal.
When he starts the mass deportations, he will allow border patrol and the military to lock everyone in camps and sort them out later.
This is what he did before. Many of those children he put in cages at the border were legal American citizens. Many legal American citizens were transported to South American countries they never lived in.
It's not about being here legally or not for pedo Trump and his Nazi pals. It's about their race. It is about "poisoning the blood of the country" as he said in his rallies.
It's just like Hitler. He wrote Mein Kampf and told everyone what he wanted to do to the Jewish people and others he thought were inferior races. Pedo Trump has come out saying what he wants to do. Believe him.
Believe what he has said and done.

(24,805 posts)In the case of the Irish, there was actual violence against later arrivals. Is this a case of "I've got mine?" Or in the case of Latinos, is it a class thing, or a perhaps nationalist issue?
LeftInTX
(31,177 posts)Many have been here for numerous generations.
Many Mexican-Americans feel completely disconnected to Mexico due to passport laws and decline of the border.
Those with family in Mexico will visit, but without family there just isn't much incentive to visit Mexico like there used to be. So, there is further disconnect.

Submariner
(12,741 posts)and Latinos rated Foreign Affairs way down on their lists of interests at 4%. If they feel that way, and apparently they do, then it is obvious their school education did not explain the part where we have been in undeclared war with Russia since the Cold War started, and that it probably went DEFCON 4 during the 2014 Crimea invasion.
That is not the Hispanics fault at all. It is our education system failure to bring it to their attention in a meaningful way, so that we can all ultimately protect each other from fascist Russian influences.

(1,553 posts)So that this does not become an anti-Latino rant. I know it is going to be tough but let us try our best to remain humans.
However, I don't want Latinos or for that matter anyone come crying to save them from Trump if they voted for him. Well, let me change what I think. I will help only if that person then does not go back to vote MAGA. Many in Uvalde did that. After all fundraising.
This applies to all communities, including Arab voters who are going to get the Hamas label by Trump very shortly. What were they thinking?

(10,320 posts)We have personalized car license plates here in Colorado for "Heritage" citizens..........
Some guy was taking immense pride in the fact that he could get the Heritage plate by showing his relatives had been in Colorado for four generations.........He was surrounded by five of his best buddies.......
I said:
"So YOU are proud of the fact that YOUR ancestors were responsible for murdering 30-60 million of MY ancestors so YOUR ancestors could steal MY ancestor's native land???????????
Wow, did he shut up fast, along with all of his friends...... You can be sure that every time he looks at his plates, he will think of me and what I said.........
Of course, if he was a Trumphumping MAGAot, it won't phase him in the least.......
I have another story if you want to hear it.......

And most offensive, that that fucking rapist and felon will be sworn in on Jan. 20th.

The FUCKING title of the post is "The LATINOS who voted for Mother fucker"...
You JUST MADE THEM A MONOLITH! The exact thing you're railing against...
I swear... the amount of hypocrisy is staggering. Even after losing to a deranged nut-bar, we can't see the forest for the trees...
It's unbelievable, but at the same time totally believable.
