Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Latinos as a whole are conservative. They just aren't batshit crazy.
The GOP knows this and even started courting them after losing to Obama (I forget if it was after the first or second loss). The GOP "base" wouldn't have it though, so they quickly went back to anti immigrant status quo.
That's a bit of a broad generalization. There are specific Latino immigrant communities that are definitely conservative for historical reasons, like Cuban or Venezuelan people who fled left-wing regimes, but Joe Biden got 66% of the overall Latino vote in 2020 so I wouldn't say that Latinos on the whole are conservative.
trump's latino support increased when you compare the exist polls from 2016 to the exit polls in 2020 mostly thanks to evangelical/mormon/born-again-christian chicanos & tejanos and cuban gusanos.
it wasn't enough to win the election and biden still enjoyed overwhelming majority support from all latinos combined and; if the course hadn't changed with kamala's entry; it might have been enough this time around to let trump win if combined w trump's narrow leads in all of the battleground states.
i'm glad biden dropped out and that let kamala regain some of this ground.
I agree to an extent. I think many times, as humans are wont to do, they self-select themselves into different communities. Most of the South Americans I've met here are rabidly Mormon and will cluster together, avoiding non-Mormon latino communities.
There's definitely a generational difference where I live among the Mexicans.
The over 40 ones are mostly conservative and wear pro-gun paraphernalia and have Trump stickers, and also speak little to no English. Which is sad because Trump and his kind would deport them or put them into labor camps without hesitation.
The younger ones, some of whom are recent immigrants themselves, pretty much all lean towards the left. Especially the women. Most of the latinas under 40 I work with would probably punch a man who told them they should be making babies and sandwiches.
I am definitely not Latino but because I speak Spanish (Mexico) and Portuguese (Brazil), I get to participate in conversations and make friends with more of my coworkers.
