I’m half Mexican. Our whole lives, we’re told we MUST vote Democrat because we’re “minorities.” Growing up in Southern California, I remember, literally, being taught that we were NOT good enough to be Republicans. “Democrats are the poor people, Republicans are the rich people…” I remember my 6th grade teacher telling me this. As I got older and started thinking for myself, I realized that I can vote any way I want. It’s the Democrats that told me I couldn’t. I think more and more Latinos are starting to realize that they CAN vote Republican, and that they ARE good enough…many Latinos have very conservative views (due to Catholicism) yet, they were told they can’t vote Republican…
You make it sound like if people told Latinos they can’t vote for Democrats then they wouldn’t want to vote Republican anymore. But we all know that ain’t true. Grievances only go direction way in the USA, from the right.
The GOP is the party for people in a bubble that want to feign victimhood while oppressing working people who are actually the oppressed.
There’s a conservative Latino in my family who married a white karen, he’s always bashing other Latinos. It doesn’t matter what color their skin is, rightwing Republicans act the same in my experience.
I’m half Mexican half white… growing up, the only racism I ever experienced was by other Mexicans at my schools because they were farm workers, poor, and saw me as a “half breed” wannabe. My parents didn’t work in the fields, and we lived in a nice side of town (this was when California was bussing in kids from other areas into poorer areas…). My dad busted his ass, went to trade school and got a good job when we were kids, same with my mother. However, I was picked on for looking white and having a white mother. At my schools, all our teachers would talk about how wonderful Democrats were, while constantly bashing Republican leaders. My experience is much more different than what the democrats would have you believe.
I’m white and I would never speak to the racism you have experienced. But I can tell you that conservatives are more likely to say racist shit about Mexicans around whites.
If you want to vote Republican, that’s your right. We live in a democracy, I don’t get too upset just because someone has a different POV. But stop lying and saying your vote towards a party full of openly racist politicians is actually the Democrat’s fault. No bro, conservatism is just your POV.
I’d rather have a little diversity of opinion. I’m not here to be patted on the back for having the “correct” take.
Looking at their post history, I believe they’re being open and honest about their beliefs. If their beliefs are so wrong, we should be able to tell them why instead of just dismissing them as a troll.

Dude is spouting fake shit all over this thread. It’s like he’s reading off a script.

Looking at everything you post, you’re clearly a right wing troll. Go shill elsewhere

There is nowhere else. Every single site is 99% Left/Democrat…that doesn’t mean I don’t get to express my opinions like the rest of you clones.
Have you tried truth social?
