(2,201 posts)I tend to have more liberal friends than not, even from my military circles because we self select our peers but that said, a lot of my friends from service are hispanic. And almost 100% are not just republican, but vocally republican to a degree that exceeds my old white battle buddies (of either party) Like all over social media for months its been pro-Trump stuff. I'm talking from both men and women- and their family roots vary too- Puerto Rico (yes even after IT happened), Mexico, Cuba... for many, there's Catholicism and a vehement pro-life policy, but also add in machismo, men lead, sexism (so Kamala had a big strike against her going in.) There's also a "my family worked hard to get and stay here legal so they should too" mentality. There's also more of a lean on traditional family values. And yes, as much as some head in the sand folk here ridicule such things, there's also the price of eggs. Turns out hispanic families don't like expensive groceries either.
