There is a lot of internalized racism in Latino communities, so I don't think that that is necessarily in conflict with what I said.

Just because you can find a lot of minorities signing up for ICE jobs doesn't really change anything, even if they were all Hispanic. You can always find examples of people going against their own self interest.

There are black white-nationalists [1] out there. There are women who will openly say that women shouldn't be allowed to vote [2].

  • the simplest explanation is simply that they preferred trump to Harris.

    • No shit. I'm making an assertion as to "why", not "who". "Simply" is doing a lot of work in your statement.

      Trump's entire first campaign was based around a stupid, expensive, and racist "wall", and he openly mentioned during his debate that he wants to get rid of immigrants because they're eating dogs. Unless these people were living under a rock they saw all this, and at best they were ambivalent to this, but I think more likely supported it.

      You could argue that maybe during his first campaign they had plausible deniability, but when all these people voted for him again, they have lost any sense of that. They knew what they were voting for, and they knew that the person that they were voting for was a racist sack of shit.

      People should grow up and own their terrible decisions.
