Record voter gains among Latinos for Trump mainly boiled down to their top issue — the economy
nbcnews.com
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.

It took me a long time to figure this out.
Trump lies with every breath. Even his supporters don't believe the literal truth of his words. They instead replace the literal meaning of his words, with the more broad idea that he's talking about the thing they like, in a way other politicians don't. That nebulous ephemeral feeling is what they are voting for.
Of course they can't understand that, let alone express it coherently. Which is why all their reasons are such incoherent straw-grasping.

To be fair, he said he would fix the elections not remove them. Lots of nice places like Russia and Belarus have elections without all anxiety of not knowing the results beforehand /s
I was trying to find the clip where the q-nut finds ex-president Garrison in the grocery store and tells him he knows what he's really saying, but Garrison just calls him a crazy son of a bitch; but I couldn't find it.
This one is clear enough though.
