Summary

Latino voters shifted significantly toward Donald Trump in 2024, driven largely by concerns over inflation, jobs, and immigration.

Trump garnered 45% of the Hispanic vote, a 13-point increase from 2020 and the highest for a Republican since 2004.

His economic message resonated, especially among Latino men, with many seeing him as a businessman focused on financial priorities over social issues. Immigration concerns also played a role, with some Latinos supporting Trump’s tougher stance on border control.

However, Latinas largely favored Kamala Harris, prioritizing issues like women’s rights.

Every single person who voted for trump because of the economy is an idiot and a monster. Across the board.

If they're an idiot who doesn't know, they aren't a monster, but a victim of a con.
It's the people who DO know because they aren't idiot's, that are the monsters.

It might seem pedantic. But it really is an important distinction.

Agreed. Everyone who voted for Trump is either an idiot or a monster. I think most of them fall into the former category. Every Trump voter I've talked to who has said they "did their own research" to inform their vote has pointed to information they got from fringe sites and outlets they were initially linked to via social media. Not one mentioned looking at Trump's campaign website, the Wikipedia article on him, much less any of the critical articles about him in legitimate news sites. These are ignorant people with no critical thinking skills.

It is your responsibility to be an informed voter. Stop infantilizing adults who should know better.

There's no one con that'll get everyone.
But everyone can be gotten by at least one con.
