4. Why are some Hispanics not doing what's best for them?

Thu Nov 7, 2024, 04:51 PM

That's a better question! Dems have reached out and have their best interests. It's not the Dems fault.

Dems are much of the reason they are even allowed to be here!

And it's regional, New York and Cali Hispanics are staunch Dems, it's the Texas ones that seem to fall for Rethugs.

All I can say, machismo culture? Many of them historically came from countries with autocrats in power and a horrible class/colorist system. I think the latter is true, as many immigrants who become citizens came from repressive governments and they support Dems, so that throws the autocracy theory out the window.

All I know is it's pathetic, Rethugs don't give a shit about them, and don't even like them.
