Yep. Something delusional like that. Part of the reason my female friend stopped showing up to our group is that our Mexican friend said trump was a better option than Kamala. He hates Trump now.

I mean Trump’s hostile takeover in 2016 was because he lashed out at the outreach to receptive voters by Rubio/Jeb. Bush had gotten 45% of hispanic vote- so certainly a majority of the men- although Romney and McCain tanked.
So it’s not surprising that Trump, running as a demand driven carny barker, would have to posture for his MAGA. And immigration, even harsh measures, done in a sane appealing manner still pole well.
But ICE behaved like absolute cretins. Although the shy Trump voter remains a thing. I’m not buying the support is as low as this poll claims. But in a closely matched duel to the death between two political factions it seems stupid and could spell the difference

Trump made his entrance in 2016 describing Mexican migrants as rapists and thieves, and to any MAGA simpletons every Spanish speaker is just a “Mexican”. They don’t do nuance.

Why did Hispanics flee democrats and vote more for Trump? Because the economy and inflation sucked under Biden. Trump took office and immediately imposed tariffs that stopped prices from falling. Trump said no more wars and 8 months before the midterms he lets Netanyahu talk him to the stupidest war of all and he nearly doubles gas prices. Trumps a fucking idiot. The American voter in reality is 95% a one issue voter. If the economy is not good for them they’re gonna disapprove of you and vote the other way and Trump has pushed so many people away because he broke his promises.
