Latino voters feeling betrayed by rump (w/ Carlos Eduardo Espina)

[struggle4progress]

Carlos Eduardo Espina joins Tim Miller and Cameron Kasky to break down how social media, religion, and misinformation have reshaped Latino politics. With nearly 20 million followers across platforms, Carlos talks about how he became the voice of immigrant communities, what Trump-era deportations feel like on the ground, and why Latino support for MAGA is fracturing. It's a conversation about fear, leadership, and the fight for the truth in both English and Spanish.

if Latino Voters had Bothered to Pay More Attention and Learn from Traitor's History They would have Known Not to BE SUCKERED BY THAT FUCKER.

8. The video's point about divide and conquer among various Hispanic communities

was something I saw here in NM, Hispanos who could trace their families back 400+ years versus Central American kids who were in various DREAMer programs versus new arrivals from Colombia, Venezuela and even El Salvador doing the shittiest jobs out there. And yeah, there was theeligious angle, as well.

What remains to be seen is whether those bullshit tactics work again now that people are seeing what side the GOP is really on, and it's definitely not theirs.

3. I'm feeling pretty betrayed myself

I don't doubt misinformation swayed a lot of voters in 2024, but eventually people need to take some responsibility for either not taking the time to look beyond their crazy aunt's facebook posts about "Communist Kamala", or not admitting that they accept internally what they know is not true for the sake of tribalism and/or reinforcing their own immoral worldview.

4. They were pouring propaganda into

Mexican media, and nobody seemed to care in the USA. Let the lies flow unmitigated.

5. from the moment Trump rode down the escalator, he's been anti brown people

6. Seeing and hearing tell that many ICE guys in LA

are latino. Explanation I heard is that the newcomers are seen as threats to their jobs. A "we got here first" and "no more room" vibe.

Much the same in Miami with a racial component since newcomers are more likely to be POC.

Dems need to look at this and understand that hispanic voters are not on the same page and why.

7. Go to the 16:30 mark and listen.

That young man is telling you the way to reach the Cuban Americans. Through their eyes.

I wondered the same thing. My latino and latina friends were so terrified of socialism because of what happened in their countries, that just the word "socialism" turned them off. And now they're dealing with the same goon behavior from ICE. Someone has to show them that they voted for the very brutalization that they ran away from.
