Not American so I have no stake in this whatso ever but it's been funny seeing Americans so blind sighted by the Latino vote.
Why did they think Latinos will vote Dems every time? Are Latinos all of a sudden...not conservatives? Not Catholics? lol?
If your analysis of American politics begins and ends with "POC = left, white = right" no wonder you were so flabergasted by the votes. My poli sci prof talked about it a lot and more or less predicted that Latinos are becoming an integral demographic in terms of political votes. The dems and republicans will try to court them but the Republicans appeal to them with little effort.
Honestly if it weren't for Palestine being a contentious issue, I bet you Arab-Americans and Muslim Americans would have had similar voting patterns to Latinos anyway. Maybe more so with Muslim Americans than Arabs-Americans.
It's still baffling that, what seems to be, the majority of left wing progressives do not want to look at the obvious truth that's been emerging since 2016 and still stick to the most simplistic view of their country. You will never change.
Congrats on Trump Winning, it's what Americans deserve.
For me who wins doesn't matter, both have hawkish foreign policy and nothing would have improved in the MENA region anyway
