    “we trusted him, his word, what he promised Latinos”
    They were lied to. The Democrats took them for granted, and the GOP ran ads all over spanish speaking media… even in other countries.
    He told them he was only going to deport serious criminals… he told english speaking people that they’re all criminals, and all getting deported.
    I mean, it’s naive, but he didn’t deport that many people during his first term… back then he was focused on building a wall and keeping people out.

      Nah. He relied heavily on the misogyny and anti-queer bigotry of many Hispanic men. The people who were genuinely misled are not the majority; they just thought the trains would stop before they got to them.

        Imagine voting in an openly fascist wannabe dictator with the logic of “I’m only number 2 on his hate list, right after all those fucking godless homosexuals”

      It is more than naive. Willful ignorance. Trump was crystal clear about his views on immigrants. She knew exactly what she was doing.

        he was very clear when speaking english.
        it was a different message entirely in spanish, with nobody challenging him.

        i don’t see why victim blaming is so fun for you, but for me i see someone heavily deceived, who is now losing her family by the person that tricked her.

        she is more of a victim of trump than you are… just because p.t. barnum fooled her doesn’t mean she deserves it… also her family didn’t vote at all… there’s no room to gloat here, it’s just pure tragedy.

          Whose message? Donald Trump only speaks English.

          No, we had all of Trump 45 to know exactly who he is. Fool me once and all that. If you looked at Trump and thought “Yeah, I could go for more of that,” you weren’t lied to. You went back to the abusive relationship after we expended effort to get out and now we’re all back in the shit.
