Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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.”

“This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”

Huh. This is exactly what I thought it was going to be.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Latinos who voted for Trump deserve everything they get: Trump's "comedian* openly spat in their faces with Trump's full support and they still voted for him.
Pendejos...

[–] boughtmysoul@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whomp whooomp.

Trump could not have been clearer than he was.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

and emphasized many times.

"i dont care about you, just your votes" " i dont care if you die, just your votes", "i love the poorly educated"

There are not nearly enough leopards to handle this amount of face eating.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

in the USA there are pumas and the occasional rare jaguar. plus wolves, and coyotes, and the house cats. maybe some peccaries can join in too, and some imported tigers.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago

Dumb fucks. It was obvious.

[–] Archangel1313@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

Yeah, sorry...but I find it hard to have sympathy for people who shoot themselves in the foot.

How could I know that the guy saying he would deport every fucking immigrant would start deporting every fucking immigrant? It was so unexpected!

Every one of these people is an idiot.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The first sighting of a true leopard in Latin America? or did the Jaguars eat their faces?

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.

No shit. Like, come on. They’re white supremacists, they aren’t even quiet about that anymore, and we already had Trump run 1, we already saw what fucking happens, how the fuck people didn’t think it would be part 2, and worse than before, is beyond me

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He’s literally just doing what he said he would do. Did they not believe him, or were they too busy watching fake news to bother listening to what he said? I have no sympathy for the ones who voted for him, but unfortunately this affects the majority who didn’t.

This is what wilful stupidity gets you.

Don't even pretend that no one warned you.

Any Latino who voted for trump deserves what’s coming to them. We tried to warn you all.

I still don't get it, why would you, as a Latino, support trump? What the hell were you expecting to happen?

You're that meme of sheep looking at a sign of a wolf saying "I'm going to eat you" and go "I like him, he says it how it is!"

Idiots

[–] DarkGamer@fedia.io 13 points 1 day ago

Who could have predicted the man who opened his first presidential run by calling latino immigrants rapists would do this? /s

[–] Ilixtze@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Gusanos and Malinches: What the hell did you expect?
