Kind of like in 2020 there were talks about “machismo” when the “Latino” voters in Florida were voting for Trump. They like non-white people until we’re no longer useful.

Democrats: "Sorry browns, but your rights are just too unpopular. We'll never sell it to the normals. Besides, what are you going to do? Vote Republican?"

Some of them: "Yes I will!"

Democrats: shocked-pikachu

There's a section in Machiavelli where he says you should make sure people fear you, and make them love you, but never ever fuck around and let them hate you. If they fear you they'll do as they're told, if they love you they'll help you. But if they hate you they'll destroy themselves just for a chance to spit in your face and there's no way to really defend youtself from people who have committed themselves to destroying you even at the cost of their life, health, wealth, whatever.

I think about that all. The. Time.

Right? It is not comfy.

To be 100% real with you I have far worse things to say about Cuban and Venezuelan gusanos than "machismo" and they are the primary reason that Florida had their Hispanic vote go so far to the right. Yet the secondary reason is very clear, why vote blue when they aren't doing anything for you?
