    I come from a family of Mexicans who are all Trump supporters. In this case it is the Mexicans fault too. If I recall Trump support among Hispanics is some of the highest in Republican history with 45% of Hispanics voting for Trump.

    This is all tongue in cheek of course. They’re all too stupid to realize what can, and likely will, happen to them.

        guessing they fall into one of two main camps…

        good catholics voting against women’s rights and perhaps not understanding the other things that go along with voting that way, and ‘got mine, fuck you’ aimed squarely at others following behind them, legally or not.

        In part, this is how “whiteness” works in the US. Once an immigrant community becomes established enough, they start to believe that licking the boot will finally grant them that status they crave.
