[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many Latino voters are catholic and held conservative views on social issues. as such, they have never been "reliably" democrats by any stretch. Only with some DACAs and the anti-immigration rhetoric did it sway more to the left.[/quote]

I have been talking to the Hispanic men who own small  I use all the time. The older men voted for Harris. the younger men, including the son of one of the older men, voted for Trump.  Why?  All about the economy and how smart these kids are.  One told me about his friend who started to work in a hotel during the pandemic when no one else wanted to work there.  He sanitized the rooms that were used.   The manager saw how well he did and continued to promote him.  He is now the front end manager of the hotel and back in a local college finishing his undergrad degree.  Another started a type of cleaning company when he finished high school in 2016 and it became very popular during the pandemic.  He had too much business and could hire people to work for him.  He sold it to a larger company, took the money, finished a degree and then bought back his company. All voted for Trump because they thought he would be best for the economy.

These are some of the "demographic" that voted for Trump.  Not a fan of Trump and did not vote for him, but you asked who did.[/quote]

Anyone who voted for Trump based on the economy is not really "smart".  That shows a complete lack of understanding of all the forces that impact the economy and the negative impacts of Trumps proposed policies (tariffs anyone?)  Probably admires Trumps "business acumen", too, meaning he is okay with cheating and doesn't care who gets hurt as long as he gets his.

Not someone to admire.  That's who Trump voters are...not people to admire. Ignorance, selfishness, and unfeeling./uncaring/cold-hearted.  But hey they make lots of money.  FFS.[/quote]

anyone that continues to push the Democratic agenda is not really "smart".   it shows a complete lack of understanding of how the political process works.   you have to win to make policy.  otherwise you are just p'ssing in the wind.

not something to admire. [/quote]
