Latino men have moved further towards Donald Trump in this election cycle than just about any other group

THE LAST Republican presidential candidate to lose the state of Texas, Gerald Ford, choked on a delicious tamale during a campaign stop at the Alamo. He tried to eat the Mexican treat without removing its corn-husk wrapping. He won 18% of the Latino vote, and the support of 130,000 fewer Texans than Jimmy Carter. Many Republicans still believe that the “Great Tamale Incident” cost him re-election.

If Mr Trump does squeak by, he may have Latinos to thank. National polls place Mr Trump about seven percentage points behind his opponent compared with 2016. But his support among Latinos has bucked the trend, even creeping up slightly. His polling in battleground states among men is much stronger than among women , according to Equis, a political consultancy. Although some pollsters differ, most think the gender gap among Latino voters is wider than those for whites or African-Americans.

While Latino parents prescribe to girls a social role early on, boys are “left more to their own devices”, says Christina Bejarano of Texas Woman’s University. Latinas are more likely to go to university, vote, volunteer and naturalise as American citizens. Latino men are likely to work in “quasi-partisan” industries such as border patrol, police, construction and oil, says Celeste Montoya, a professor at the University of Colorado.

Now a larger bloc than African-Americans, Latinos would have greater clout if they voted more. Some Democrats grumble that the Biden campaign began seriously courting them too late to turn them out. Others hope that the Trump presidency is inducing a long-awaited stampede to the polls. The covid-19 epidemic has hit Latinos particularly hard.

I think these voters have a nostalgic drive back to an uncontrolled dictatorship that is an essential part of the socialism economy.

Surprising that although they may lose the WH it's the Rs who probs have a brighter future according to the demographics. Rs made massive gains amongst Hispanic, Black, Gay and non-college. Ds are going to have issues in future if they cant recenter the party and stop the flood.

Trump was placed in office as a non-political person to destroy America 1. Fraudulent scams 2. Divide America 3. No one live matters 4. Place immigrants & black people in cages 5. Kill millions of people 6. Corrupt liar Injustice to Americans

Not a fan of saying Latino Cubans in Florida are not the same as Mexicans in CA AZ Texas

27% of Floriduh mail in ballots are still USPS

He'd rather lock them up

Fuck Texas lol

Why? They must not know he wants them all gone, whether they’re here legally or not.

Latino men, specifically cubans.....🤢

Make America great again... 😉🇺🇸🇬🇧

You mean the Latino relatives of people he called rapists and thieves WTF?

Why, why would they do this? He has shown nothing but contempt for virtually anyone who comes from a culture different from his (except dictators, they are the exception).

Men are trash

what a community of dumb people.

Y’all need to remember: Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Mexicans, Ecuadorians, Bolivians, Peruvians, Argentinians, Guatemalans, Venezuelans, Colombians, Hondurans, El Salvadorans, Costa Ricans, Panamanian, Paraguayans, Uruguayans, Nicaraguans All considered Hispanic/Latino

Not this Latino man

EVERY THING DUMP DID TO THE MEXICANS AND THEY STILL VOTED FOR CORRUPTION TO TAKY YOUR CHILDREN AWAY HOW SAD AND IGNORANT

The latiesnanl

Most of those southeastern Latino men escaped from communist countries. They tend to lean right cause of that. Plus religion.

I understand ex-Cubans in Miami bitter after Castro booted them out being right wing for life, but the portion of Mexican Latinos in Texas voting for a man who calls their people criminals and rapists are pure sell outs.

Pinche pendejos

I don't know how any latino man could vote for him considering he doesn't consider them people.

Idiotas

Voting against themselves... sad

When they all end up in the COVID unit they may get a clue that he doesn't give a rats ___ about them. People can be so so stupid. Not smart enough to vet a known liar. And they have no insurance. So who is paying that hospital bill.

Don’t forget he also threw paper towels at Peurto Ricans

What the hell is wrong with Florida? Come on your better than that 😒

Porque son una bola de machistas pendejos con el nopal en la frente and Please remove that sombrero image it’s disrespectful not all Hispanics/Latinos wear sombreros!!

Untill they're deported

VotingAgainstYourBestInterests Can’t wait till we learn about the shady shit they did in FL this year like they did in Michigan circa 2016

I’m not mad just disappointed

I am a Latino man from Florida, more specifically from Miami-Dade were most Latinos are in Florida and I voted for Biden. Trump didn't win in the main Counties that has more Latinos in FL, which are Miami-Dade, Broward, Orange, Hillsborough, and Palm Beach.

Bola de pendejos. Que sus mamás les pegue con la chancla. Y la olla, y el fajo. No es posible que tan estúpidos son.

Lol usual Dems still cry about cages? Shut up.

How intelligent of them. They will finally be deported. I hope they enjoy that.

Not from US so sorry if this is a dumb Q but genuinely intrigued as to why Latino men voted trump as he insulted them and executed a campaign to remove as many as poss from the country? What is overriding that ?

Cubans are voting for him, not the rest of us. Bunch of Tio Toms, I say.

Turns out it was preventing the mail. JFC.....

Is that a MAGA hat in a sombrero?

Those are Cubans not Mexicans.

Slugs for salt! Hooray!

Voting against their own best interests. Embarrassing and tragic.

Well Florida Latino call themselves white.🤷🏿‍♀️

latino men can suck my throbbing cock he don’t even like y’all

Don’t you know mexicans and cubans living in america discriminate their own kinds living in their native countries? They want to be white so bad

Those damn white supremacist Latinos!

What pendejos!!! Bc Mexican men think they’re “dominant “. Pinch putos! 🖕🏽

as a latino myself i am very disappointed

Going forward, Leave their asses stinking 💩

Ah yes, cause Cuban Americans are exactly like Mexican and other central/south Americans in ideology.

embarrassing

You realize that ‘Latino’ does not mean Mexican... take off the marachi hat .. super disrespectful!

nah man they ain't latino anymore 💀

WHY ARE YOU INCLUDING A MEXICAN HAT WHEN MENTIONING FLORIDA? STOP TREATING US AS IF WE ARE ALL THE SAME!!!! FFS

Idolizing macho cruelty isn’t just for insecure white guys

why is this picture so funnyyy who thought of this shit

Que vergüenza.

Polls got it soooooo wrong

Funny thing is that he is trying to get y'all deported and you guys are dumb enough to still vote for him 🤣🤣 Trump loves the ignorant.

I wonder how hard the Dems are rethinking their obsession with illegal immigration. White men boosted them. Go figure that one.

Latinos 🙄🤦‍♀️ what a disappointment .. now I see why there hasn't been a huge demand about the kids in cages coming from the Latin community 🤦‍♀️

They left due to dictators and then voted for a wannabe dictator.

As a Latino I can confirm older latinos don't care about other Latinos. If it ain't happening to their personal family they don't care.

Latino men continue to be a disappointment. Are we even surprised.

My ass a faltering campaign

are we surprised, fuck latino men and how DAREEEEEE that person wear a mariachi suit with that garbage!!!!

Jo Biden winning Presidentship by 7 Votes!

A Warren-Castro ticket would have given the Party a blue wave Unfortunately, DNC repeated its ‘16 strategy to similar results, even if Biden edges the win in MI, WI, NV Backwards-to-Center is a losing strategy for the Dems... criticism of these failures is for their betterment

There’s different Latino communities

Damn. Florida is more of a mess then imagined. Shame.

Fricken Cubans.

Documented latinos are as racist white supremacists.

so trump's murderers and rapists voted for trump, well that makes sense in an alternate universe...

When will MSM realise that their bias and venom spewing in the last 4 years did nothing except galvanise and gain more support for Trump, their contempt and underestimating of half the US population being the most counterproductive thing that they continue to do. USElection

Omfg

Smfh

They approve of his racism and his stealing latinx children and putting them in cages? What is wrong with them?

WTH? How uninformed are they?

Why the f**k would Latino men vote for him

Amazing. Latinos are clearly not interested in our democracy.

thisisSoniaG

Latino man are obviously very intelligent man unlike you - no one likes cheats & crooks.

Why Latino men? Trump would gladly deport them all.

Latino or Cuban?

snowstormyou Machismo will be the death of this country.

Not me

“Faltering”? LOL. Are you seeing how well he’s done/doing?

Misogyny wins

Labeling such guys as “latinos” without considering their race, education and background is why you don’t get it

SMH ...

Cancel latinos

Remember what the PA AG said,

You’re not a real news outlet

U know who Latinos like?

Rebirth_In_Islam Hazrat Muhammad ji saw Baba Adam Isa Moses and Dawood all in Paradise That is, do not live in the grave until doom Rather reborn Must watch sadhna TV 7.30 pm Must watch ishwar TV 8.30 pm Reading Gyan ganga book.

Ha! Ha! The Economist has been one of Biden's most dependable hatchetmen. The incessant attacks on Trump reveal your contempt for balance and objectivity, and lack of honesty.

Trump’s attack line of “radical left socialists” was never countered and was gold to all those Latin Americans in Miami who have seen their home countries ruined by left wing govts. Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, Cuba etc etc etc.

Oh really. What happened to your stupid forecast 😂

Which non-white in their right mind would vote Trump?

Extraordinary considering his disdain for the people, culture, and values. Separating children from their parents and bullying a country into paying for wall that will never happen. He's an embarrassment to people in general, but a bigger embarrassment to the latino community.

Machismo is a thing

La migra

POTUS is approachable. He makes his living from meetings & greetings and he never leaves a meeting empty handed but, the Excellency of His Style is that everybody at the meeting has the opportunity to walk away better then when they arrived.That's just Plain Good Business Savvy!

Because they are tired just as we all are, of the same old song and dance. Now you see us and then after you save my Job you won't shake my hand again until I need to re-up!!!🇺🇸

Record deportations under Obama didn't help Democrats.

What is it with Latinos and authoritarian figures?

Democrats are the real racists and fascists. They hate nothing more than someone thinking outside what they say is allowed because of their skin color. Sickens me.

Another headline designed for other stupid people to make even more stupid general statements against another group of people.

I find it hard to believe so I tried to check the source. Unless you have a membership to the magazine you won’t be able to see the whole content. Great way to open appetite

Lets get him four more years he is President Trump

They voted for Bernie in the primary.

They’re mixed up and lacking of the machismo they see in Trump, they fell for it. In Latin America machismo is the source of corruption, cartels, drugs, power and money. Nothing more, nothing less.

Estúpidamente

coz they're friggin, racist leaning morons. ask Allende, Peron, Fidel, Pinochet, et al.

It’s because of the political history they are coming from! and their success in America, these men are hard working people. Latinos are a very big population!!

Not just Latinos. Same for African American, Asian/Indian American groups. Hence the reason polls are so close. Curious what attracts them to right wing policies.

'Faltering Campaign'?

So what!

Why? He hates all of you and would love to deport each and every one of you. Wake up! He is NOT your ally!

Latino women need to talk sense into these men. Women have something they can hold over these men’s heads, sex! Use your lever!

trump puts Latino kids in cages and Latinos vote for him? i keep saying he is feeding on the peoples' mental illness, there is simply nothing else to it.

I never thought it was possible for any group of Men to be more ignorant than undereducated White Men but apparently, they are being outdumned by a bunch of Hispanic men.

I guess he was right, we’re not sending our best to the US

Why?... no ,really, Why?.

Remember what he said in his announcement to run back in 2016?

They afraid of him

Is that racist?

Interesting 🧐 how is that possible?

Why is that surprising? From Tijuana to Patagonia little Trumpets everywhere ...

Trash.

How does The Economist know that Trump’s campaign is “faltering”; What is the basis for your published statement

Do you know what our incumbent President Trump represents? HOPE something not many people have

Faltering? Have you seen your candidate? Teetering Biden is about to have a fall. TonyBobulinski Sinohawk CorruptJoeBiden

Maybe cause they hate being told they’re latinx by a bunch of weirdo white liberals.

And Biden offers 'erwrwerwr rgergergeg' ...his latest soundbite... The democrats are impressive.......😂😂😂

Suck up to power

So people escaping failed latin american socialists countries don't want socialism in the US? 🤔 Shocker.

Machos

Lambiscones, Patas Rajadas

Not all of them.

Que malo!!

📢During the CCP virus epidemic: 'wearing a mask'and'frequent hand washing'are very effective protective measures. When going out, keep a certain distance, choose to wear a smooth coat and disinfect, outdoor shoes and door handle disinfection. 🌞May people be safe and healthy! 🙏

Can’t believe it.

timeslip22 Stupid

And I don’t understand this shit fa the life of me. Is this about money too

Wow trump could care less about these people!

More like away from Trump! Latinos for Trump is like roaches for raid!

And he wouldnt piss on them if they were on fire. Shame.

They better not get too close or he’ll deport them

Good hombres.

horrible

¿?

FALTERING? WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FOLKS ON TODAY? DOWN HERE ON PLANET EARTH 10’S OF THOUSANDS ARE GATHERING FOR TRUMP RALLY’S WHILE SLEEPY JOE GET 12!

The good hombres must be homesick.

If there are many socialist/communist tyrannies all around Latin America, and furthermore, Biden and Kamala say that they want to normalize relations with Cuba, the puppeteers of all these tyrannies, it makes sense.

Antifa means Anti Fascist! Since when in the USA has it been even controversial stance to oppose Fascism/NAZIISM? Capitalism and socialism are economic theories; both become objectionable when they are tied to authoritarianism - as Donald Trump is trying to do.

As we all should be. Antifa is a terrorist organisation.

did I miss your article about bobulinsky?

👎🏼👎🏼

As he should be

It's always the xenophobe looking for the biggest baddest most compelling boogeyman... He should be more concerned about stopping Erdogan and Aliyev

95% only bad news(

Absolutely not true. Quit spreading BS.

He never generalized Mexicans like the Economist did.

Them only thing faltering is Joe Bidens stories about his corruption with China and Russia 😂

Trump is super pro immigration. We're all anti-illegal immigration. Stop intentionally conflating the two.

The irony is appalling.

Faltering or your wishful thinking? Your blind anti-Trump stance is corrupting this newspaper's thought leadership. You become yet another Time magazine steadily in decline.

We need all groups to be with President TRUMP WIN

Must be all the trash

Ridiculous.

😳

Trump and his supporters are racists! That means they don’t like non-white people! Latinos are not white! Did they not read the memo? Are they drinking some spiked KoolAid?

Very ironic. Machismo. He cares nothing for them.

Vamo Menem.

All because of the Lutheran Churches!

They want to be so badly it sounds about right.

How the Democratic Party failed to sway Latino voters away from the trump administration is dumbfounding

Self-loathing to a pathological degree!

Why white people can embrace the political left who equate white of 2020 with Juden 1930 is beyond me. Replete with aspersions of 'they stole this land' 'they are privileged' 'they're engaged in a grand conspiracy'

Latinos think the left is batshit crazy. Take the disruption of their culture and language with the white-progressive insistence on the made-up term 'latinx.' They rightly think white progressives are trying to assimilate latinos and latinas into their bland international.

Nos ha llamado violadores y matones. Este viejo embustero se tiene que ir!

Guess who else is voting for Trump? Farmers, Chinese, and some covid plagued sunbelt zones. Hilarious and pathetic.

¿Mentira machismo? 🙄

Hispanics are natural conservatives

Latino men are also responsible for most dictators and military juntas in the history of Latin America. “Machismo” breeds stupidity.

Latinos are way ahead of the whites and blacks. Way ahead. Family, frugality, work ethic, fucking cool people, faith in God, and we have 30 gentleman to handle your problem. We love kids. Still like the Raiders for some reason and DOOOOOJJJJJJJERRRRSSS!

Pendejos

If you come from a broke ass communist country, run by thugs, Narcos, gangs who rape your doughters and corrupt your young ones, extortion your business, and the politicians are more corrupted than in the USA, then you may criticize why they are supporting POTUS.

I guess they like being called murderers and rapists, who knew 🤔

If they vote for Trump, then they are the types of idiots who would stab themselves on the backs.

Yeah! Somehow, there could be more stupids living out there other than Republicans in America.

Machistas

My husband is Puerto Rican. He and his entire family HATE Trump. New York born Ricans know a con when they see one. They ain't stupid and naive like the fresh off boat Mexicans and Cuban refugees!

The Economist wants you to click on their headline ooooooohh

Wake up Latinos... he doesn’t care about you AT ALL

A combination of machismo dolts and religious robots.

Right.....faltering. Stop carrying water for the Dems sbd actually be objective.

Democrats will start saying close the border. That would be funny!

What possible reason could they have? He despises you, people.

Fuck that noise !!

Duh, Latinos in general love Trump

Amazing that Latin Americans who, after witnessing decades of self-serving, populist corrupt governments who use the judiciary to serve their personal and political interests and attack and persecute the press, then move to the US and vote for Trump.

'Faltering campaign' lol. Democrats usually outvote Republics in early voting 2-1 but their current voting leads are much, much slimmer than that suggesting a Republican walk over on polling day. By the way, let me guess, you believe in the same polls that were wrong last time?

Very sad!

Oil industry jobs. That’s it.

Pendejo's appeal versus mamacita's power? Veremos, hermanos mios, veremos...

This is very strange to me.

What countries are these Latino men from?

Brief of Mexico opinion (just informed persons)

Not this Latino! Those fuckers are not men, they’re sell outs!

Cubans

Not this Hispanic male. Esos Son Vendè patria. Tio Tōmas as I like to call them. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica ByeDon latinosforbiden WeThePeople

I guess they don’t mind being insulted and called criminals and rapists. 🙄

How and where was this shit polled? Latino men in the Midwest maybe...with a max HS education.

The bias in this tweet is staggering.

Tontos

Trump's MAGA hats are made in CHINA. Enough said, mic 🎤 drop.

Voting against their own interests, just like he counts on.

Stockholm syndrome?

Hispanics should remember how Trump disparaged Judge Gonzalo Curiel's 'Mexican Heritage.'

What the hell?

Sell outs who forget where they came from.

Good ❤️

Trump calls them low IQ Im hispanic for jobs, law and order, works here not in China. what a horrible mistake.
