🇺🇸 🗳️ Republicans face Latino backlash ahead of midterms For nearly two years, US President Donald Trump's heavy-handed deportation drive has sowed fear in immigrant communities. Now, with midterm elections looming, many Latino voters who helped propel Trump to power in 2024 say they are fed up.

To understand a real illness one must ask why they propelled him to power in the first place if their only motivation would be to protect their cocaine trafficking to his son.

Trump literally ran on a heavy-handed deportation drive during the 2024 campaign, and he was rewarded with the largest share of the Latino vote for a Republican president since at least 1980.

But some like this lady aren’t angry with him for his crimes, or the inhumane way he’s treated immigrants, for the Epstein Files or many other legitimate reasons. They’re angry because they thought THEY’D have more money!! Well better late than never I guess!

In Ingram, local cops working with ice deported 10% of the town. Decimated the Latino population bsky.app/profile/char...

ICYMI, a stunning story. Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. @francescadnunz.bsky.social @mckenziefunk.com

Latinos is too general, basically idiots who want to pretend like they are better than the rest. So cubans, white Mexicans, and braindead Venezuelans with a sprinkling of Evangelical/Catholics and machismo sexist. So the worst of the Latinos. Democrats lost the Latino votes too with their disregard.

I guess brutalizing Latino communities, shooting, or running them over in the streets, ripping toddlers from the arms of their parents, locking them up in detention camps, and deporting the parents to countries they've never been to, somehow makes them not want to vote for you. Weird.

Latinos & others made a mistake of voting for Trump and his crew last election. I sure hope they have figured out Trump doesn't have no respect for them or even want them in America. Keep in their mind they are responsible for their family being killed & deported. It will get even worse from Trump.

It’s really weird to have people complaining about getting exactly what they voted for. Can’t have much sympathy for a group that put Trump in power and then are shocked to find out that he’s doing exactly what he said he would do with that power - come after their group with a vengeance. Hello? WTF

Glad to see people coming around. Given the Republican party's history, particularly the last 10-20 years, I can't see them benefitting Latino & immigrant communities at all. Really odd are comments like "he's done the opposite of what he promised". No sir, this is exactly what Republicans promised.

They presumably thought they'd only deport the 'bad guys'! Little did they know, MAGA think you're all 'bad guys', because they are racist fascists and they hate them because they are smarter than them and better looking!

In fairness they said they'd only deport "the worst of the worst." Not long after that they got the Supreme Court to rule that discrimination on the basis of appearing Latino is sufficient grounds for immediate incarceration, rendition to a foreign country, and possibly death.

Deporting the “worst of the worst” would not result in “mass deportations.” Every day of the GOP convention showed a sea of white people waving those “Mass Deportation Now” signs. Even in his 1st term he wasn’t deporting the worst of the worst. There were MAGAts even back then surprised that the

I know Republicans that STILL think only the criminals are being reported, they say the other stories are fake news.....they are in such a cult state of mind.

The 'I think I'm white' Latinos are the worst of the "it won't happen to me" crowd. The cognitive dissonance is deafening. And they will still vote for a ghoulish nazi like Rick Scott, because he screams "Cuba libre" every 5 minutes, in perfect Spanish, when he campaigns !!
