First mistake... you thought...

Biden supporters were supposed to be into

everyone being Americans from sea to shiing sea.

Second mistake. Were the hell is it written that there
is a requirement of me or anyone else to be into those
who are so egotistical that think they know it all?

Get over your bad self...

Also I'm confused in that I thought being proud of being ignorant about the whole country and being into promoting regional divisiveness were identifiers of Trump supporters. And I thought Biden supporters were supposed to be into everyone being Americans from sea to shiing sea.

Trump Support Grew Among Latinos in California and Nationally, Poll Finds

Nov. 6 @ KQED.org

[....] In reliably blue California, 22% of Latinos voted for the Republican candidate, up from 16% who backed Trump on his first run for the presidency.

“I do think there's been a shift and the question is, why?” said Gary Segura, senior partner with Latino Decisions, a lead pollster for the survey [....]

L.A. Times, Gustavo Arellano, Nov. 6: Lots of Latinos voted for Trump. That should not be a surprise

[....] They’re not just the much-maligned Cubans of the Sunshine State. They’re the recent South American immigrants who arrive with hatred of anything that reeks of liberalism because it reminds them of the socialist tendencies in their native countries. They’re the Mexican Americans of Zapata County, Texas, which sits right on the U.S.-Mexico border and just voted for a Republican presidential candidate for the first time since Warren G. Harding.

The retired Chicano police officer who moved to Idaho. The Maywood construction worker who never heard about white privilege until Joe Rogan mocked it. The God-fearing abuelita who worried Sen. Kamala Harris would unleash a wave of abortions upon this land.

They are not outcasts; they are us. Yet Democrats didn’t do enough to try to win them over, instead just hoping that Latino Trumpers would eventually see themselves for the joke that they are [....]

And don't know nothing about Downey? If you are into national politics, generally it's a dood thing to read up about more than your own zip code. They even filed from there for the NYTimes.

Not exactly. Even if you can;t read this article, what you say makes clear that you didn't pay any attention to the shocking results with the Latino vote in southern Texas then? Was just sort of like, the talk of the national Dem party, but they don't matter, I guess?

Almost everyone I know is liberal and most of them are pretty far left. But If the was the make up of the American electorate we wouldn't get the government we get. So I don't look at my circle to understand the voting public. I read to understand it.

Latino Support for Trump?

Must be a Miami and east coast thing...
Supporting a mentally ill criminal? On the left

Cubans that I've known for years that would only
crap in his hat.

Caudillos. They want a strong guy to knock heads.

The human rights bit speaks to a minority.
