      The Latino vote I fully understand. They are predominantly Catholic and strongly oppose abortions. The Latinos voted for ICE boots on thier neck rather than women’s rights … and they got exactly what they voted for.

        I had a Latino buddy that was in it only for the machismo because libs were gay and no way a black woman. He really didn’t have any hardline conservative views except for “don’t stray from the herd”

      Lots of expats from Venezuela and Cuba who see Republicans as patrons for their clans. And Republicans reward these blocks with special privileges - prioritization for immigration, exception from state violence, lucrative positions in both the legal and illegal economy.

      Marco Rubio got his start selling concaine on behalf of his brother in law Orlando Cicilia, for instance. He was able to rapidly rise through the political scene by playing in an industry the CIA had long staked out for Cuban exiles.
