Summary

Trump’s support among Latinos has plummeted as he nears his first 100 days in office, with many saying they feel betrayed by the scope of his policies, particularly immigration enforcement.

Almost three in four Latinos (72%) now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.

Many Venezuelans, for example, have been impacted by the decision to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they’re going to come take me somewhere I won’t be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”

    I’m past the “I told you so” phase, however I’m also over everyone saying things like “they didn’t know” or “give them another chance”. As far as I’m concerned, they’ve got TWO viable options at this point in time:

    1. Find a way to fix what they did. It’ll be expensive, and likely violent, but this shitshow is squarely on the heads of the morons who voted for him, for whatever reason they chose to do so. THEY can fix THEIR OWN mistakes; I’m done helping them out.
    2. Continue to act like they have no ownership, but get the fuck out of the voting population. If they STILL don’t see what the did wrong they’re irredeemable and need to get out of the way. People trying to make them feel better by saying “they didn’t know” or the like aren’t helping fix it, they’re simply giving them cover FOR WHEN THEY DO IT AGAIN. And let’s face it, any dumbass that voted for him AGAIN isn’t going to flip their vote no matter what happens to them personally, so the next best thing is for them to stay home and practice counting to 2.
