Summary

Trump's support among Latinos has plummeted as he nears his first 100 days in office, with many saying they feel betrayed by the scope of his policies, particularly immigration enforcement.

Almost three in four Latinos (72%) now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.

Many Venezuelans, for example, have been impacted by the decision to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they're going to come take me somewhere I won't be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”

that’s a grand stand you’ve put together. bravo.

I don’t care about winning people so disconnected that living through 4 years of horror didn’t convince them that 4 more years of horror wouldn’t be horrible.

It's funny to watch you attack them for being in an echo chamber they didn't seek. From an echo chamber you did. But I'm glad you can admit that you are dedicated to being the problem. And not the solution. It's in curiosity and ignorance like that that will help the fascists continue to win. It's just too much work to ask questions about how and why people behave the way they do. So much easier to just dismiss them as being less intelligent and informed than yourself. Just like they do to you.

What a joke of a comment. They absolutely sought out living in a bubble, the same as everyone else. Stop pretending like people are kids who don't pick and choose their news sources. We don't live in Russia or China where the government controls 100% of the media. Stop bullshitting us with this pity party.

I feel zero sympathy for any maga voter. These fucking people shit all over us constantly, call for us to be murdered and sent to prison, but now I'm supposed to feel bad for them? Now I'm supposed to help them?

They can go fuck themselves. They are adults, not children, who dug their own grave, and now they get to deal with the consequences alone like they always wanted to.
