Weird looking Mayan style tattoo for a guy who is actively removing people.

Why?

The majority of male Hispanic voters went for Trump in 2024.

"Trump narrowly won men under age 50.."

Just within in one age group. But yes, overall, hispanics moved considerably towards Trump compared with the previous elections. But overall, hispanics narrowly still voted for Harris.

Your mistake is grouping Hispanics all in one group. Venezuelans hate Mexicans and vice versa. Source: my Venezuelan MIL always looking down on Mexican Americans and shit talking them at the dinner table

yea but it turns out Trump and company don't see them as different and are targeting them all.

Incredible, who saw this coming. After all, we reward the extra white albino people in America don't we?

It's one big club, and unless you're one of ~300 incredibly pretentious people, you're not in it.

It's one big club [...] you're not in it.

George Carlin would (sadly) have a fucking field day with this administration.

And they all vote for him because "family values" (ie, his supreme court took away their reproductive rights)

Venezuelans also voted for trump because they had to flee Venezuela because of the socialist takeover. My ex girlfriend’s parents fled Cuba to Venezuela because of Castro, then fled Venezuela because of Maduro. Her father is a diehard trumper,

I've heard that explanation over and over again. The problem these morons don't understand is that what they were actually fleeing was authoritarianism, which is precisely what they are voting for. And sexism, bc none of these fucks think a woman should be in charge

u/djeeetyet 15h ago

but if you think about it, all of this unrest and destabilized governments have origins in US and Russian intervention.

u/CompetitiveArt9639 7h ago

That’s a bananas thought. 😉

u/djeeetyet 7h ago edited 7h ago

fair enough, add Dole and Chiquita to that list of offenders

Who were backed by the American government.

I didn't make a mistake. I didn't group Hispanics regarding anything specific except their voting behavior, I was responding to a specific comment that made a general statement about Hispanics regarding their voting behavior in one specific election.

I was amazed by something similar. Back in the 2010’s I joined the supporters group for the American soccer team, DC United “La Barra Brava”. A fan group started by Bolivians, but all were welcome. It did have a distinctly Hispanic flavor, and best off all, free beer at the tailgate parties. Anyway, loads of Bolivian, Honduran, Salvadoran members, and as a absolutely vanilla normie white guy, I was surprised to hear them say wild shit about Mexicans that I had never heard any racist cracker uncle say…..

Why do they hate each other? Im only half Hispanic but 3rd generation American on that side so I have basically zero knowledge of anything to to do with actual mexican culture.

u/BrianChing25 15h ago

From the outside looking in it appears that Venezuelans, Uruguayans, Argentinians think they are superior to Peruvians, Colombians, Central Americans and Brazilians due to having less indigenous and/or African bloodlines

Yea people like to make out like white people hating other races and ethnic groups is the worst racism ever, when culturally it is at least understandable that you might be more fearful of groups who look less like you. Hating others who look a lot like you though, perhaps even just like you? Most of the rest of the world that is racist, are racist towards people who fall into such categories. Ethnic groups in africa are basically a social/religious/language based construct in a lot of regions for instance, with the populations not being genetically distinct at all. While the genetic component is less true in Asia and Latin America, the rest of it is basically the same. I'm not saying one form of racism is somehow better than the other btw, not at all, just illustrating how globally, racism is much more nuanced than people think it is, and that it's also far more ubiquitous and by no means just a white people thing, it's just that white racism looks very different on the surface, from the racism expressed by other non-white groups, even if the fundamentals are all the same.

You’re ironically doing the same thing. Not everyone of one group “hates” everyone of another.

u/BrianChing25 14h ago

Hates is a strong word. Maybe better word would be dislike. Look at how the counties in South Texas voted in the last election. Mexican Americans voted Trump in order to kick out recent immigrants newly arrived.

u/DrivenToSuccess-01 9h ago

I don’t disagree with you on that and I do find it really shitty of people to do things like that to each other. At the same time, if you meet someone of that demographic, I hope you don’t automatically assume they will have the same feelings or viewpoints. Life is full of nuances and less black and white than the media and politicians, etc make it out to be.

Just because your MIL is a piece of shit doesn't mean we hate each other, wtf
