I am sorry. I just do not get Latino or black Trump supporters.

[mamas]

I thought that 'family values' was revered among those groups but those voters just interviewed on MSNBC who are Latino and singing Trump's praises stun me.

[Bettie]

1. I'm still trying to figure out how

white women can vote for him. He literally hates women who aren't young and "hot" and available for his use.

[nycbos]

2. Real life Clayton Bigsby's?

[BeeBee]

3. or gay, or women... n/t

[HipChick]

4. Just saw that...some Latino's self-identify

as Caucasians..

[LeftInTX]

16. Most do. Caucasian is a race.

There is no Hispanic race. It is an ethnicity.

Although most are mixed European and Indigenous, they don't ID as Native American because the technical definition of NA in the US is a tribe located in the USA. (Confusing, but it is what it is) My husband has no idea what his indigenous roots are or what percentage of indigenous.

5. Some of it with Latino's has to do with religion.

I'm not sure if "family values" are revered among one group over others. It's a term most often used for self-serving purposes.

No group will fit neatly into any narrative and some individuals cherish being different over all else. Not different for any specific reason. Just different.

6. The easiest way to become a big fish is to find a small pond.

Never underestimate self-interest. Any large group has people representing the range of human attributes.

7. Look up Malinchism nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. There are a lot, lot, lot more of the former than the latter.

[CurtEastPoint]

9. remove 'Latino or black' and go with that question but I get your point. You left out GAY and WOMEN

[Hortensis]

10. Not hard to figure at all. We're all wired con or liberal by genetics

in some version. Libertarian may be another, smaller group. They're wired conservative, probably more strongly conservative than most on average. It's obviously more important to most politically involved black conservatives to be unified, but these disagree. Of course they're hostile right back at those right wingers who don't want them, but -- big surprise to some -- not all conservatives (of any color) are ruled by bigotry. In any case, those conservative minorities obviously identify more with Republicans than Democrats.

Knowing this stuff, btw, also helps a lot in understanding the behavior of groups that didn't form on left-right lines and contain both liberals and conservatives. Just because a group's goals are labeled "left" or "liberal" by the media, for instance, does not mean their leaders are necessarily either.

11. Willful ignorance... They refuse to believe anything negative about him. Why? who knows.

but it is amazing how they can go through life so unaware of what is happening around them.

[MGKrebs]

12. I think some people are just so frustrated- for any number of reasons-

that they just want to blow everything up and start over. I think that's what Trump felt like to a lot of people. The details don't matter, he was a "disrupter" in the current lingo.

Trump is not the right disrupter for most people though. He just also happened to appeal to a lot of peoples latent sense of bigotry, fear, and insecurity. That doesn't make your life any better though.

[DBoon]

13. mean, sociopathic people come in all races and religions

and genders and sexual orientations

Sometimes personality defects are more significant than the interests of other folks like you

[skypilot]

14. There are all kinds of Trump voters...

...that I don't get. A couple months ago there was a news story about a small businessman who won a lawsuit (or got a settlement, can't remember which one) against Trump after Trump stiffed him for whatever goods or services he'd provided. Guess who this fool voted for.

His reasoning? "That was business, this is politics?"

[JI7]

15. Most of them do not support him. And those who do have no credibility among the others

And are seen as a joke.

[cwydro]

17. I agree.

I know two AA folks who voted for him and three gay women.

Boggles my brain.

[Laffy Kat]

18. And I don't get women GOP-ers.

Boggles the mind.

[MrScorpio]

19. Theyre outliers

Shit happens.
