    Idk what’s going on in the Latino community that 60% of Latino men went for Trump, but that’s what happened. It isn’t just the Cuban community, they are nowhere large enough to make those kind of numbers. I know certain religions beliefs probably played a large role, but I’m almost wondering if a bunch of weirdo white dudes just identified as Latino trump supporters in exit polls. It isn’t like they haven’t been caught masquerading as other groups; “blacks, Latinos, gays, etc. For trump.” Only to turn out to be just a bunch straight white folks astroturfing.

      I don’t either. My girlfriend is Mexican. In MX, they despise Trump, but if they are here and Latino, they support him. I know two dudes, both Mexican, one an immigrant and the other from Texas who voted for him.

      The latter was getting in peoples’ faces about it and celebrating obnoxiously at the bar where we all gathered to watch the results. I’m in Seattle.

        That spot on Texan behavior, regardless of what other identies/cultures they may have, lol. I find the trump supporters that are aggressive and angry about it are usually the ones who WON’T articulate why that is, and therefore usually terrible people and only trying to reveal that part to other verified cult members. He is a potentially dangerous person, don’t let your guard down, especially around anyone or anything vulnerable.

          I pegged all that previously, so you’re not wrong. He was a bit off already. Then I learned he was a trumpanzee.
