Latino voters who helped seal Florida's status as a Republican stronghold are now reeling with anger, bewilderment and guilt over their support of President Donald Trump, according to El País. "Trump’s manifesto of economic prosperity and law and order clashes with a reality that continues to punish disadvantaged families," writes Abel Fernández.

Nearly a year into Trump's first term and the Hispanic community, he writes, is deeply divided. "Frustration and regret have grown among those most affected by the rising cost of living, cuts to social programs and an immigration agenda that has torn the Hispanic community apart," Fernández writes.

The disenchantment, he says, is palpable across the state, with a list of complaints including "the disruption to government aid as a result of the government shutdown, the unstoppable rise in the cost of rest, and persistent inflation."

The loss of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, in particular, are affecting those in Miami-Dade County "especially hard," Fernández explains, where "the shift of the Latino vote from Democrat to Republican was key to Trump’s victory last year."

Here is the problem in a nutshell further in the article and it is something that Democrats deal with Presidential election cycle after Presidential election cycle, where the GOP will crash the economy, Democrats come in and spend much of their terms in office FIXING it, then come the next cycle and a GOPer wins, they were handed a "roaring economy" and many of the clueless believe it was the GOPer who got it there. I.e., -

“The last time Trump was president, I made more money than ever in my career. Prices were low. Gasoline was cheap. I remember going on vacation. Interest rates were lower. Now everything is out of control. I can’t even afford the air we breathe. Now I see that I made the wrong decision,” she says.

Lady - the last time 45 was in office, OBAMA handed him one of the best economies and job growth in modern times after getting the country out of the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression. 45 didn't do that. He managed to kill over 1 million people with the mishandling of a global pandemic, ushering in one of the greatest "shocks" to the economy in recent memory after 4 years in office. This time, it took him just a few months to get there again.
