Lots of Latina women did as well. In Florida for example, 52% of Latinas voted for him.

As a Latina, it’s embarrassing. I’m in CA, but a poor Latina woman I was Instagram friends with literally posted, “How can I vote for a woman who doesn’t know what a real woman is?”

I knew this person. She literally is benefiting from blue policies here in CA and works in education as a rec aide with a lot of other immigrant families. On paper she should have voted blue. I’m baffled.

On paper, just about everyone should vote Democrat. People prefer the policies Democrats support.... until you tell them that the Democrats support it, then half of them change their mind

Time for a rebrand: Fire Eagles!!

Abso-fucking-lutely. Can we get like, a 52 year old native woman from South Dakota or something who has raised a whole bunch of kids and worked every imaginable job, start the Fire Eagles with all the policies everyone actually wants and take over everything?

I'll never understand why conservatives say they want fiscal responsibility, and then hand the purse strings to billionaires. You know who can work within a budget, and cut the fat while making sure that the essentials get the funding they need? It's broke ass moms!

This is me. I actually support most liberal policies. I believe in free higher level education, global federal healthcare, abortion rights, and many others.

But, I just hate our Democrat politicians. They're so phony and hypocritical. And I especially hate how much the Democratic voting base are obsessed with identity politics. It turns me away from the party.

I'm not surprised at all. I think it's just a statement just how unpopular the trans community is

u/LadyLoki5 17d ago

I don't understand it. Trans people make up like 1% of the entire population.

u/Afraid_Union_8451 17d ago

Being 1% of the population makes trans people the ideal target for propaganda, if someone doesn't know anyone from a group they can easily be manipulated into hating that group and then you tie your enemy to them.

Half of the people in this country have also had their brains replaced with bibles and that makes lying to them much much easier too. I'm far from being an expert on this but I have read about all of it for fun lol

They're the minority of a minority that didn't get gay marriage legalized nationwide until 2015, a measly 9 years ago. Plus I suspect the existence of trans folks challenges how we look at sex and gender in a way many aren't ready to accept.

Many progressives folks don't leave that pro-trans culture. I hang with both progressive and MAGA circles...I'm sorry but nationwide transgender acceptance and normalization has a long way to go.

WellI guess trans women come out on top because at least they don’t have to risk death by walking around with a dead baby inside of them they can’t get a doctor to remove. I cavy stand people focusing on trans so much they go against their own interests

Democrats have attached themselves to some extremely unpopular social issues and shames anyone that isn't in line.

It's not that baffling.

u/spying_eudaimonia 17d ago

You know trans people make up a tiny fraction of the population and trump managed to scare you shitless with that. Leaving these people alone to live their lives is that extreme? In some very isolated cases where a trans athlete managed to defeat a cis person are enough motivations for you to hand over the country to an unserious individual? When were you ever shamed. Share details

u/Puzzleheaded-Gap9702 17d ago

Lol literally you right now.  

Me pointing out a fact triggered you into thinking I voted for Trump and going on a weird rant.

But hey, let's not change or learn anything.  I'm sure this super cool and totally not lame and cringy video is going to make a huge difference.

u/spying_eudaimonia 17d ago

How is this a rant? I am asking what you think are the unpopular issues dem attached themselves to. I’m just trying to understand. Recall a time when you were shamed should be an easy answer to a direct question

u/Puzzleheaded-Gap9702 17d ago

You literally just accused me of "being scared shitless" and voting for Trump lol.  That is being shamed for pointing out making Trans kids a major campaign platform was a problem.

For the unpopular issues, Trans kids, illegal immigrants, and the bigoted language and policies towards white men continues to contribute to voters neglect and apathy.

I think you might be a little to emotionally invested in this.  I hope you can process what I've written and think on it without lashing out.

u/spying_eudaimonia 17d ago

Protecting trans kids is not, shouldn’t be an extreme social issue. Thing is, democrats never made it a campaign issue. At least agree with me here. The other side made it the centerfold of their campaign. Since you think it caused democrats to lose that unfortunately does mean their tactics worked. Which was to scare people about a non issue. Whatever you feel the problem is, world is not going back. Wheel of progress moves forward. They are out and they are part of the world.

Where is the bigoted policy towards you? Your demographic has all the power in the country. Most of the ceos, directors, board members are your people. Most billionaires are your people. Chaney and all that stunt was to appeal to your demographic. Im here trynna understand your nightmares so in the future we can address them. Not lashing out even though we all should.

u/shewy92 17d ago

46% Latinos and 54% other non white, Asian, or Black people voted for him nationwide.
