I understand that no group - even right wing Christians - vote as a block, and it is unrealistic (and demeaning) to suggest otherwise. But are there any recognized leaders within the Latino community coming out and addressing what happened in 2024 and trying to get people to realize that they were conned? I enjoy FAFO and faces being eaten by leopards as much as the next person, but I feel all of this disapproval will come to naught unless leaders within segments of any community that feels betrayed by the orange monster try to explain/contextualize what happened in 2024 as a teachable moment, and get them to commit to not being fooled again. Otherwise, folks will fall prey to the same racism, sexism and divisions that have worked so well for the Cons in the past. How do we break out of the cycle?
