He got more minority votes than any other republican though. https://nypost.com/2020/11/04/despite-racist-charges-trump-did-better-with-minorities-than-any-gop-candidate-in-60-years/ https://nypost.com/2020/11/04/despite-racist-charges-trump-d... "Nationally, preliminary numbers indicated that 26 percent of Trump’s voting share came from nonwhite voters — the highest percentage for a GOP presidential candidate since 1960." "Kids now freed from facilities" The same people who worried about cages will be as silent about Biden using them as they were when Obama made and used them.

Of course in a larger than usual turnout election the second place numbers are also going to be larger than before. No demographic is a unified, single minded block of voters. The term Latinos is particular groups so many communities of different race, background, and country of origin as to be nearly meaningless. But that does not excuse the fact that Trump's policies and public statements were undeniably racist, and filled with fascist and white-supremacy call outs for far right extremist groups. And the whataboutism on the cages is just tired far-right propaganda. There is a difference between one administration building a 72-hour processing facility and "Parents of 545 children still not found three years after Trump separation policy" (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/21/trump-separation-policy-545-children-parents-still-not-found https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/21/trump-separa...)

Then again, incumbent losing election in USA is historical fail. Losing popular vote twice is too. And the same people who gloated about deliberate cruelty are already starting to act like the cruelty is suddenly bad. The same people who yelled about Clinton emails were clapping epical corruption the whole time. Biden is not president yet and you are already trying to claim some moral high ground.

  "incumbent losing" based on elections with rules changed at the last moment by activist judges and a growing list of inconsistencies... with at least one whistleblower who saw illegal actions in one state. (Illegal votes affects "popular vote" too.) "Cruelty and emails" and the people talking "unity" are the ones who were silent when Obama built cages, droned hospitals and called 1/3rd of Americans "deplorables", "gun toting rednecks" and now "chumps" and "ugly"... "epical corruption" The difference is there's hard proof of Clintons (and Biden's) corruption... there's still no hard proof of Trumps "corruption". Even leaked taxes has nothing illegal mentioned. "Moral high ground" when comparing Democrats vs Republicans its easy to claim high ground against Democrats... They set a VERY low bar. So low that they lost to Trump.
