    Catholisism is the dominant cult among them. Them falling for obvious lies is kind of par for the course

        Not really. And it isn’t “woman bad”, it’s “culturally and religiously woman do x, y, and z- that list does not include lead”. Mexico addressed this head on my requiring political parties to nominate roughly equal numbers of men and women. North of the border, no such rules.

      What Texas media and social pressure told them to. That’s why we shouldn’t let billionaires and liars run the media

        That’s on them. They have the same access to the world wide web as we do. Maybe if they spent more time doing their homework instead of posting pro-MAGA Minion memes, we’d all be better off.

      The destruction of the left:

      “We’re pissed off at the current administration. Everybody’s pissed off down here in south Texas,” the construction executive said, noting that most Hispanics in the area are Catholic. “Remember, we’re conservative, we’re not far left. We’re in the middle, conservative Latinos in south Texas. It doesn’t make sense.”

    But … Republicans are racist. At least, against anyone who isn’t white. And even the white ones don’t like each other that much!

      its exhausting how many times this exact scenario has played out in America.

      group 1 aligning with republicans over shared hatred over a third group.

      Harm done to third group, group 1 happy as clams.

      Republicans turn their eyes to group 1, begins fucking them over in the worst ways possible

      Group 1:

      Group 1: Why you do this to us?! we were friends! we worked together! I thought you considered us honorarily white!?

      Republicans: You were nothing but a useful tool. Now go die.

    Voting for things then getting mad at them is a Texas tradition. I had to stop talking to people because hearing people say “God damn [insert politician] rabble rabble rabble. I mean, I voted for him and will again, but fuck that guy.” Somewhere in their brain files is a line that says politicians are untrustworthy bastards and instead of fixing it they make it a self fulfilling prophecy.

    All the people that can be convinced they are temporary embarrassed millionaires have been suckered by Republicans, Trump most of all. Unfortunately that includes people from all identity groups, although he really convinced poor and middle class whites the most.

    If they were getting rich from this they would have ice on speed dial.

    The real quote " thanks to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the shaky economy."

    It’s the shaky economy that is their problem. They didn’t profit from the hollowing out of their community. They support the deportations. They got theirs. That’s why support is flagging.

    WHOMP

    fucking

    WHOMP

    you were all warned and didn’t listen. You thought it was okay for him to subjugate “those illegals” because you thought you were the “good ones” so therefore it was okay to harm those groups.

    Fuck you and enjoy not having a face

      Met a Cuban last year who was a “Fuck your feelings” Trump supporter.

      I think about him a lot whenever Trump threatens Cuba.

    It’s Christianity. A ton of immigrant Hispanics are extremely Christian and Republicans are historically the Christian party

        Well they are. They’re just focused on those parts that are a bit less popular amongst ‘progressive christians’ such as hating the abortioners, the gays & the women

      Good Catholic families, a lot of which are probably older and more established than the states they reside in.

      I kind of half think there was a portion of Republicans that really believed that there were 100 illegal immigrants just going absolutely ham on the place and that was somehow the only real issue we had going on.

      Jokes on us I guess.

      i was gonna say that he can’t even quote one verse from the bible but that tracks with the average christian., or at least conservatives. I’m not christian but i can cite multiple verses from the bible that i could reasonably say i like for one reason or another.
