Yup. “Latino” is not a singular race. Ppl got mad @ Joe 4 saying what he said but he’s right. Puerto Ricans don’t vote like Cubans who don’t vote like Mexicans etc. Diff histories/diff fears/diff motivations. Add race 2 the mix (lots of White Latinx ppl) & have a REAL good time🙃

This country threw everyonecwho speaks Spanish into the “Latinx” category like ppl aren’t descendants of Conquistadors, descendants of African enslaved ppl AND descendants of Indigenous ppl. JUST LIKE THE STATES. But the “Latinx” vote is supposed to be the same?? And that’s...
...just within the same country. Imagine lumping ppl from 20plus countries into one block. It doesn’t work. And Joe was right, you cannot count the made up “Latinx” vote the same as any other group. Folks are NOT the same, do not come from the same circumstances & do not...
...live in the same realities today. Class, race, religion, all of those things matter in the “Latinx” vote just like everyone else. And for a lot of Latinx folks, they adore this monster. Many others, hate him (S/O to my fellow Ricans in Flo🙏🏾) . But yeah...it is what it is.
