The irony here is that of the "undocumented" immigrants that became "documented" I've talked to they are almost all conservative. The famous ones of course include Arnold Schwartzenegger. But before DJT, even the other, not famous, ones painting houses and mowing lawns are.
When they say why, it becomes understandable. "I came here with $7.23 in my pocket and didn't even speak the language. I'm making a living. Get off welfare and get a job."
The Dems are painted as the party of handouts and the handouts torque the immigrants off. The immigrants are working extremely hard,sending money home to their families and so on.
- erichocean 6y agoAnd that's why California is the most conservative state in the nation! Oh, wait…
- pc86 6y agoWhy are you being so needlessly hostile? A lot of hispanics voted for Trump in this election.
- _prototype_ 6y agoPeople like erichocean is the reason why Trump was elected. People like him are insane
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoSure. They were also victims of highly targeted propaganda. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/14/florida-latinos-disinformation-413923 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/14/florida-latinos-dis...
- alessivs 6y agoIt would be ludicrous to think that, all other things being equal, they, or any other group of people, would switch their pick due to being victims of hyperbolic propaganda such as the one described. Pretty sure Hispanics can think for themselves, with factual references at hand. I believe the linked article paints them in an unfairly gullible light, while it does nothing to discredit what it claims as being conspiracy theories. They point to current developments happening in their home countries, only becoming discreditable 'theories' because of the absurdity in which they are framed (in the article). To name an example, The Open Foundation (associated with philanthropist Soros) has been funding parties and congresspeople all over S.A. who are looking to advance certain social causes. This is part of funding declarations by the recipients, and since it's not unlawful, and not a secret, it's not a conspiracy; and since it's not fiction, it's not a theory (in the sense of supposition). One of such causes is the decriminalization of abortion, an issue that's been traditionally (fiercely) opposed. Considering Trump's aim to defund Planned Parenthood, and the appointment of a fitting (Catholic) judge to the Supreme Court, couldn't they not lean towards him in this aspect on the grounds of a proven track record, rather than just propaganda?
- kortilla 6y agoWell more people in California voted for Trump than Kentucky and Tennessee combined.
- raegis 6y agoThis is primarily bacause California has a much larger population. You can add North and South Dakota in this group as well.
- pc86 6y agoWhat does that have to do with anything?
- kortilla 6y agoIt explains how most immigrants can vote conservative with the state still easily remaining liberal overall. Read the fucking context.
