2. In my experience this was not the reality: "Latino voters who bought into the notion that his racism was a joke"

Latino voters are, by definition, citizens. That means they are either born here, or they "did things the right way" and earned the right to vote. A sizeable percentage of such people have animosity towards others who, while they may also be "Latino", are failing to follow the rules (as they themselves did), and think they are negatively impacted, one way or another, by their presence. Latino voters are likely to view "illegals" as "competitors", just as much as the average Caucasian cuck does. And they thought Trump would mostly be going after "the criminal gangs", which Latino citizens by and large would LIKE to see being done (like everyone else).

So, the ones who voted for him either underestimated his evil, or thought that to be less important in comparison to the goal of improving their own lot. For many, self-interest was paramount above any perceived "ethnicity or country-of-origin" bonds they feel to "Latinos" in general.

Seems as though a lot them have since come to realization that they actually have no protection or privilege with IQ47 in charge, that he flirts with revoking their citizenship, and they see him even kidnapping and deporting their friends and relatives that have LEGAL RIGHT to be here. A right which is being pretty much ignored. That is going too far for a LOT more Latinos than just tightening up the border and deporting the criminal element would be.
