I think I shared before that one tiny upside to my father passing away in 2015 from lung cancer is he didn't live to this era. He was already going down the Fox News Obama is the worst thing ever rabbit hole. He definitely would've voted for Trump and probably gone full MAGA. We agreed to not talk about politics around each other and I'm glad he didn't become someone that I could no longer look up to. I'm glad I'm left with good memories of him before he died. I would hate to be in a situation to have to cut him off or dodge his calls and texts.

Yeah, my dad passed in 2014 and I’m glad he was spared the Trump turn taken by his Republican Party. I generally avoided politics with my family but that’s over with Trump. You can’t defend yourself any longer so I’m ruthless. No decent person supports Trump and if you support him then the only thing any Democrat ever did that bothered you was having “(D)” next to their name on the ballot (or being black).

My mother was a fwd>fwd>fwd emailer, and a staunch Republican. She likely voted for tfg in 16, but was quiet about doing so. Then Patrick asked her to die for the economy. Problem solved.

RIP?

No disrespect but I don't understand Hispanics. Black people have skepticism built into our DNA for obvious reasons, but Hispanics keep going working the "white adjacent" thing ad nauseam, despite being burned time and time again. When it comes down to it they will be on the outside looking in just like everyone else. 

I don't think it is that difficult to understand.  People need an 'other' to marginalize so they can try to fit in.

I think it's pretty simple.  A lot of or most of them are "white enough" to "pass" or so they think.  So they start acting like mighty whitey at the earliest opportunity, including looking down on those darker than them and more recently arrived.

I think this is evidence that, while Hispanics have been discriminated against, and mightily so, slavery and Jim Crow takes it to a whole other level (your skepticism), that mere discrimination does not.

Speaking of mighty whitey, I watched this, https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/harvest/, last night.  The class of 1982 of Leland MS was one of the first integrated classes in Mississippi.  I knew this was going on, in an abstract fashion, but that these people would have been in high school with me took it to a whole other level.

Why do you think there are so many private schools in Louisiana and Mississippi? So they could choose who their kids went to school with after segregation ended is my bet.

More to the point, who fucking cares?  It doesn’t affect anyone. 

But men wearing cargo shorts, or jeans shorts, or anyone going to the grocery store in their pajamas — that’s serious business.

Now? ‘Twas ever thus.

My favorite stories from the 2008 campaign were the canvassers in Virginia and North Carolina reporting back about old white racists saying they planned to “vote for the n*gger.”

A good candidate can be male, female, black, white, gay, whatever. They just have to be a good candidate. It’s built on inherent qualities and personality, not assembled out of policies and soundbites. A good candidate can “walk with kings, but keep the common touch.”

Following a total disaster of a presidency like George W. Bush’s doesn’t hurt.

Of course and Texas too to a slightly smaller extent.  But what was somewhat startling to me is the degree of segregation in the early 1970s.    Also that school desegregation wasn't eliminating the last vestige official oppression, but the vanguard.

We all intellectually know this, but seeing it "live and in color" in a very recent timeframe is moving..

Dipshit magats are a fucking caricature of themselves. They look exactly like we think they would look. Uneducated, racists dipshits. The only thing we're missing from the video is a fat, bald, goatee dipshit wearing Nascar sunglasses. 

How it started.

 

How it ended.

Lemme summarize the worldview we're dealing with:

Hating on people because of their ethnicity/where they come from? 100% ok.  In fact, that's what all patriotic Americans should do (and don't give me that "no, just people who are here illegally!" lie -- the push to end birthright citizenship, arresting and revoking status for people who ARE here legally, etc., puts the lie to that.  It ain't about having documents, it's about foreigners "poisoning the blood of our country" -- your king's words, not mine).

Hating on people for what they DO, such as being racist pieces of shit?  Well, that's bad.  It's divisive.  We shouldn't do that.  FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

Fuck her, fuck him, fuck all of them.  Make all MAGA's suffer.  Everywhere.  In every way.  All the time.  If you choose to be an anti-social piece of shit, then you should suffer the consequences until you either die or crawl back in the hole you never should have left.  Make no mistake, we should hate you.  Hate has a place.  That place is as a weapon against those who actually EARN it.  And you MAGAs have EARNED it.  Who says the meritocracy is dead?

I've long believed it's largely a simple matter of simple-minded people not being able to fathom a woman president solely because they've never seen one. They "can't imagine it." And stupid trad wife bs as well. 

Deep down you all know our first female president will be a Republican. It's what Jesus wants.

This is what this thread was made for. Schadenfreude. Delicious schadenfreude.

For a lot of reasons, but I think the there are two main ones:

1) There is no common history, cultural or ethnic background between groups of  Hispanics. Most have a Spanish derived last name and know some Spanish, but many don’t even have that.  “Hispanic” is a description of a group that isn’t a group. 
 

2) To the extent there is a common thread, it is that a large number are in the United States because an ancestor wanted what what white Americans have - land and opportunity. 

Hispanics have a lot more in common with Irish Americans than they do with American blacks, and are following a similar pattern.

I don’t agree. Lots of extremely decent people support Trump. They are just trapped in a feedback loop of community and propaganda that is very difficult to penetrate.

...yes....but also no, because of a couple of key differences.

(1) Once the Irish "integrated" into American society, it was pretty much a done-deal.  There was no REsurgence in anti-Irish sentiment.  Once the initial hatred subsided, it wasn't really a factor any longer.  Hispanics, on the other hand, are finding themselves back in the Juan Crow barrel in full.  We are public enemy #1, with the president and his admin literally saying it's okay to hunt them down in the streets based solely on their ethnicity (see Tom Homan's open admission of that fact).

(2) The phenomenon of (1) may be in large part because of skin color.  The majority of hispanics...look hispanic.  Just like the majority of Irish look like....regular white folk (they ain't all redheaded leprechauns, very few are, actually).  It's easy to treat Irish like "real Americans," because they look like what a "real American" should look like.  Brown-skinned hispanics, on the other hand....well, they's different, ya know?  Sure, some of them can pass as white (yours truly included -- which has given me an interesting perspective, as I've been in rooms where people didn't realize I'm hispanic, and have said some truly loathsome shit), but most of them appear hispanic on immediate visual inspection.

Humans love to sort other humans that way.  Black people are ALWAYS going to be behind that 8-ball here.  And so are hispanics.  The fact that a shitload of us are too hopeful/dumb to realize that is its own tragedy.  MAGA America actually hates us, for what we are -- or rather, for what we aren't: good, white, pureblood "real Americans."  Our presence here is "poisoning the blood of our country" (their godking's exact words).

Should hispanic voters think of Dems as their friends?  Maybe, maybe not.  Should they think of MAGAs (which is the entire GQP now) as their mortal enemies?  Fuck yes they should.  They are never, ever, ever going to think of us as real Americans.  We are the enemy to them, even if they treat us momentarily as an ally of convenience.

I hate to break it to “Hispanics” but white trumpers don’t view you as peers.  You’re lumped in with the blacks and orentals

False.  Quit using ignorance as an excuse for hate and evil.  Enough.  You choose evil, you are evil.  "A lot of extremely decent people supported the nazis.  They are just trapped in a feedback loop blah blah blah."  Fuck that.  You KNOW that demonization of the other for who they are is evil and wrong, and you embrace it.  You are evil and shit.

Bullshit. They may seem decent to you because they perceive you as part of their in group. They support hateful policies against those they perceive as the “other” and so are not decent people. Don’t be fooled.
