'It's simple, really' - why Latinos flocked to Trump
bbc.com

Summary

"It's simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago," said Samuel Negron, a Pennsylvania state constable and member of the large Puerto Rican community in the city of Allentown.

Donald Trump achieved a decisive victory over Kamala Harris, capturing key demographics that traditionally supported Democrats. He gained substantial support from white working-class voters, saw a 14-point increase among Latino voters, and performed better than expected with younger voters, especially men.

Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were central to Trump’s appeal, with voters across states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin favoring his promises of lower prices and stricter immigration policies.

Harris struggled to retain support in diverse and working-class areas, as voters blamed Democrats for economic hardships.

I did! I did tell you why. It's the words you chose to write.

"you're a Nazi"

Me: how?

"Your words"

Me: how do my words signal that?

"They do because they do."

Great argument.

Hey! You've finally caught on! Good for you, also thanks for the compliment. Also, way to call out yourself being a nazi. Your words :)

Again, great argument. I can see how you won all those votes to your side. :)

You asked what was shitty. I told you. Everything you wrote. How is that not clear?

I asked about what my words were shitty, you used circular argument. Which means you've got nothing. Have a good day!
