Highly patriarchal
Religious, macho, hatred of other-Latin (Mexicans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Domincans etc. have a lot of interrelational hatred), and I-got-mine-ing (pulling up the ladder once they got their citizenship).
I remember 2016 analysis. Texas promised a lot of wall construction jobs. Florida threatened Castro's ghost was going be donated Miami by commie HRC and Biden in 2020. Latinos may be made to hate each other, by country of origin, or ladder being pulled out for those not here yet, for all I know.
By far the biggest indicator of Trump support/voting intentions is how much they consume "trans normalization outrage porn". Trump's baseless confidence that giving all of America to oligarchs will create more jobs can influence low information/analytical people as well.
In 1998 Clinton's secretary of state stent a SWAT team in to the house of some Cuban immigrants to kidnap a child who's mother died getting him out of Cuba but because his dad was still in Cuba they figured the best way to solve the problem involved point guns at people. Since that event Latinos have voted almost exclusively for Republicans.
My only hope is if there is ever another election they will finally find someone else to hate more than Janet Reno.

No fucking way this is real data. Dont believe everything you see on the internet people this is clearly bullshit. Trump won yes but no fucking way is this data legit. Its just hate spewing this post should be fucking dropped for false information. No way blue states had all white men voting Trump lol fuck off OP.
This. There is no shot that around 85% of white men votes Trump. Not a chance in hell.

How many of you even had an option to fill in your race on your voter registration form? My state doesn't even collect this info.

All I see is one of the dumbest nations on the planet and a clear indication that things will continue to decline regardless of whether Donald Trump is wasting oxygen or not.
Dark future.
As an American who didn't vote for fascism, I wish I could argue with you.
If you're white and on the left its time you started infiltrating these conservative spaces. I do, and as soon as they see you are white all you have to do is ignore 1 racist comment and these people open all the folds for you. Its time to get dirty with the people spreading the dirt. The right wanted a revolution? They'll get it.
I'm barely keeping my sanity from fraying, the last thing I need is to make it worse by surrounding myself with people I hate.

White men I can understand (if not agree with). But come on Latinos, you should be fucking better than this.
"Immigrants are poisoning the blood of America"
"Yeah, ese. You tell 'em."
At least the ones in California appeared to know what was up.
I don't live in the US but my country has also had a lot of immigration, invasions (true ones with armies, not mean ways to describe immigration), internal migrations from poorer parts of the country, you name it... Basically almost everyone is an immigrant in one way or another.
Well, our version of the far right has a lot of support from first or second generation immigrants.
One part of it is to pull the ladder up after ourselves and avoid others coming in and competing with us for the same jobs. Another part is that immigrants are on average poorer and angrier about the state of things, and for the populist far right, anger is fuel.
But also, Populists are becoming increasingly good at blurring the lines and making certain people feel included in the "in group" at election time, even if they are going to kick them in the head as soon as the ballots close. Case in point, AfD in Germany being led by a gay woman with an immigrant partner, "Brothers of Italy" being led by a single mom.... Usha Vance is not an isolated edge case, she seems to be part of a playbook, whether she knows it or not.

By random coincidence, eliminating women's suffrage is within the overton window of the Republican party.

In 2020 black males had 80 Biden - 20 Trump and black females 90 Biden - 10 Trump. I'm generally color blind but it's hard not to see how american black culture is so much more attentive to contemporary issues and somehow pop culture managed to twist "woke" as a bad word. crazy.
Pop culture didn't do that, billionaires who own all media did that.
Agreed but it is them who influence the pop culture.
I'm getting quite old now it the anti woke progression was just wild to live through. Suddenly people started to realize that we have a lot of collective power and then everything turned around with anti-woke and anti-cancel-culture campaigns driven by afraid billionaires. I hope history doesn't wash this away so I bare repeating.

I'm a white dude, apparently one of the relatively few left ones. It's probably because of AuDHD, I grew up knowing what it was like to be in the out group. I lived full time in Honduras for a few years, and not with the military, so I kinda know what it's like to be an immigrant. I had to deal with their visa/immigration system there. It's not the same, I'm not saying that it is, but I've lived the experience of making community and friends and being reminded by the government that you don't belong here. I also got to see the immigration issue from the perspective of the people that are subject to it. A lot of these Trump fucks have enjoyed the luxury of never questioning anything, just cruise, watch your hunting shows, live in your bubble and recite your fox news/ tim pool bullshit. I know the type, and it is utterly inconceivable to them that the could ever end up in the out group, and it's a fucking interesting ride to be along for when they do end up there. Unfortunately, too few of them realize that they weren't just being singled out by the deep state or Satan because life is a show about them, and that that's just life for people in the out group.
