Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Millions of black and latino voters choose Trump. Latinos tipped the scale away from Democrats.
But there is a long bizarre history of immigrant groups immediately shitting on other immigrants.
Because Democrats don't give a shit about working class people, and use marginalized people as tokens. "You'll vote for us because Republicans actively hate you." Seriously the amount of contempt Democrats seem to have for their own base is alarming.
So Latino voters vote on other things, like abortion. Being mostly Catholic this tends to split that group up. Moreso because the DNC refuses to support down ballot Democrats that don't go hard for abortion.
It's cuz those people got theirs and now they want to close the gate, same as the current cons, theyre to dumb to realized that once they do get that wish, they'll be the next group of people the cons will focus on getting rid off since current day concurvatism exclusicly focus on exclusion. I don't like a shitload of foreigners migrating out into a country like what happened here in canada during Justin's reign just so they can cover cheap labor and exclude younger workers but it's stupid for them to think they won't be persecuted by people like this and can't understand that these people aren't concervatives, theyre fascists.
The USA has been kicking the ball forward on a cohesive immigration plan for decades, Democrats did nothing to address that.
Turd Soup or Shit Smoothie is the choice.
I think the republicans being obstinate and stonewalling at every conceivable avenue might have had an effect.
No one in either camp came up with a comprehensive plan to formally set guidelines for immigration, targets, quotas, etc . It was a mess because no one dealt with it.
I don't think you're giving Obama enough credit here
Compared to the current administration being overtly racist (Calling all Mexican immigrants drug mules, saying that Haitians are eating cats and dogs), while upping ICE budgets so they can chase after people without any criminal history...
I'd say the choice is obvious.
Stewart has gone into this in detail, the country needed a set comprehensive immigration strategy.
Yup, it's always democrtas that are to blame. just keep sowing this whataboutism bullshit. All you're trying to do is depress the vote. it's plain as day.
High percentages of Latino voters, yes, but not high percentages of black voters.

anything over 0% is high.
"Trump nearly doubled his support among Black voters between 2020 and 2024"
Agreed
As to your second point, double jack shit is two jack shits. I'm not saying that no black people voted for trump. I'm disputing the point you made refuting that white supremacy was the reason we have trump.
It was 100% white supremacy, and saying 'well, Black people did it too' is a magat talking point.
The fact that latinos helped greatly, does not make it any less motivated by white supremacy, except from an American white racist's standpoint. Plenty of people not considered white by American white supremacists still consider themselves white, especially in central and South America.
