    This was entirely about religious conservative Latinos not liking LGBT+ people, especially Trans people. This was all about “we support the Catholic religion, get these trans people out of the sports and bathrooms.”

    Their lack of compassion and hypocrisy among religious Latinos came back to bite their own community in the ass like an ouroboros eating its own tail. Yes these people are to blame for voting for Trump and the ensuing policies. The policies were not secret, ignorance is not an excuse for poor voting choices.

          “The lack of compassion and hypocrisy among the blacks came back to bite their own community in the ass”

          “The lack of compassion and hypocrisy in the LGBTQ+ community came back to bite their own community in the ass”

          See the problem now?

          It’s not automatically racist just to discuss significant problems in a particular racial community in a direct fashion of course… but just dismissing Latino support for Trump as a problem of “it’s because they are bigoted hypocrites QED” is a bunch of racist crap.

              It wouldn’t be racist if you had said they were bigoted (Although I do think it would be wrong, I think the issue is more awareness and education than it is just innate bigotry. They obviously didn’t fully know what Trump was about, by definition, or they wouldn’t have voted for him.)

              Since you said the whole grouping is hypocritical and lacks compassion, that’s the racist part. IDK how you can’t see that, but it seems like you’re just determined not to see it for whatever reason.

                If you a vote for a bigoted asshole who campaigned on getting rid of trans and gay rights but suddenly feel screwed when he comes after you, you are by definition a hypocritic and lack compassion
