    Maybe not anymore, a few polls have shown reduced support for Trump among Hispanics, probably because his goons assume they are illegal because they’re brown.

    We tried to warn them…

      Try telling that to my half Mexican brother and his Mexican wife. If anything, their positive opinion of Trump has gone through the roof. They love seeing the “pisas” get deported.

      They don’t seem to realize that they’re next once ICE runs out of easy targets.

        It’s weird as hell that white people are constantly talking about nonwhites who support Trump. The only demographic which the majority votes Republican is “white people”. Talk to your white family and friends and convince them to vote for Democrats.

          I thought you could tell through context that I’m mixed race, but thanks for sharing.

          Shifting blame is part of the political game.

          No democratic presidential nominee has won a majority of the white vote since Democrats supported the civil rights act in 1964. Not even Jimmy Carter after the Nixon debacle. He only won 45% of the white vote. How the majority of white people voted Republican even in those circumstances is mind boggling.

          A majority of white people supported Trump for the past three elections and white liberals love to blame PoC, especially for the most recent election because they can’t put together a persuasive message to people in their own community. They’re constantly vying for PoC to swoop in and save them instead of putting in the work.

        I think it all depends on whether ICE has harassed them directly, or someone they know. Today’s Conservatives have no empathy at all, they only care about things that affect them personally.

      My polls show increased support because they think the bad browns will be kicked out and not them, the good browns.
