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.”
Oh darn! If only somebody had warned them about what would happen…
While I upvoted you, and we absolutely did tell them that. Many of them through no fault of their own weren’t reached by the message. And that’s something we need to figure out how to fix. Because with the consolidation of media and AI, this is only going to get worse.
Patting ourselves on the back about being right. Will only comfort us so much, when our lack of reach etc. Continues to haunt us
Many of them through no fault of their own weren’t reached by the message.
That’s where we disagree. Media bubbles exist but the internet makes it so easy to find opposing viewpoints that failing to do so should absolutely be considered a personal failure. They’d rather believe a comforting lie than confront the truth and that is how shitty people live their lives.
The internet absolutely does that I agree. The problem is. That you think that everyone else is as terminally online as we are. And in that way you are as bad as they are. This isn’t an accusation against you specifically or anything. I’m just pointing out how we can all ultimately do bad things unintentionally. By simply assuming that everyone else is like us.
You don’t need to be terminally online to know that Donald Trump is a piece of shit. You’re trying really hard to justify intentional stupidity. Empathy is good but you don’t need to employ it to the point that you force a reason to let these people off the hook. In fact, I would argue that nothing will change until we all accept our role in educating ourselves. It’s not anyone else’s job to do that.
I’m not the one here trying to justify anything. That’s you. You’re the one here trying to pull off some ridiculous conspiracy theory where more than half the voting population are either mentally handicapped or evil in order to justify your 2 minutes hate.
Simply unwilling to acknowledge that the majority of people still get all their information from the mainstream media. The same mainstream media that we call out here on a daily basis for being tepid spineless and inaccurate in their coverage of everything including Palestine. The same mainstream media that has given Trump and Republicans far too much undue deference and respect. Propping them up. It’s not that you can’t understand the people who voted for Trump it’s that you don’t want to.
The fact that you could be on Reddit or Lemmy and claim that you are somehow not terminally online is especially hilarious. Being on either of those is absolutely terminally online. Brother we both are. You just lack the self-awareness. And that’s the problem.
The amount of time I spend online is entirely irrelevant to the question at hand. Your focus on that particular point, which I never disputed, is pretty odd. You can find the information I’m referring to in a 30 second Google search which pretty much everyone does on a regular basis for things they care about. The problem is that a good chunk of people don’t care enough to find out whether or not they’re being lied to by the media they consume. I don’t think it’s necessary to excuse that level of ignorance but you seem insistent on doing so. That’s not being understanding it’s justifying idiocy for no good reason.
I mean, what did they expect?
Don’t worry. There is room in the gas chamber for people in wheel chairs too, you fucking freeloading fat strain on the economy.
If you voted Trump as a Latino, that’s a special sort of stupid.
It sure sucks when a leopard eats your face.
But why didn’t anyone warn me that they were going to eat -my- face?! I’m a good <person with face>!!
LOL? Betrayed?
This is the fucking party, chuckleheads. They want you gone. Doesn’t matter if you were born here.
Stop voting for these motherfuckers. Not one Republican should ever be allowed into office.
“Man says ‘ow!’ after shooting self in liver - more at 11.”
What’s the word for leopard in uh… Spanish?
The first sighting of a true leopard in Latin America? or did the Jaguars eat their faces?
los pumas me comieron la cara
“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!”
What in the actual fuck did they think was going to happen? He spent his entire campaign specifically saying he was going to do this.
You can say a lot of things about Trump but you can’t say he betrayed anyone about his intentions on immigration. Whoever feels betrayed by that simply wanted to be betrayed.
fucking morons
I told them. Not racist totally legit all the Mexicans loved him, every other Hispanic I work with already hated him.
No fucking way! I don’t feel sorry for any Latinos or Hispanics that voted for Trump. Ya’ll are traitors to democracy and our constitution for installing a dictator. You think people would learn from the dictatorship countries they fled.
Dumb fucks.
My people, if you believed them I hope you get deported.
You voted to have families torn apart, fuckin traitors. You will never have my respect and I hope you hide in shame.
Yep. They wanted SOME families torn apart. Just not their own.
Exactly.
