As someone of Puerto Rican descent, I can say that MAGA Latinos are just another representation of machismo culture fucking things up yet again. This fixation on “who deserves what” is bizarre and ultimately self defeating.

This is why there is a Maduro and Chavez. This subset is cued into Trump's vengeance. Each statement is about their perceived belief that someone got something they should have got; as if someone stole their worthiness; it's sick. Now, they're proud "Trumpers", aligned with their capture, their "macho-man" who they mistakenly believe "sees them" as different, better and deserving...as long as they stay and propagate their perp. The "Stockholm Syndrome" couldn't be more exemplified; Trump hates only "those Latinos"...but not me.

The voter Mike details here is a good representation of almost all of the Hispanic side of my family and at least half of all Texas Hispanics.
Yeah, understanding this is crucial. I need to process this, but wanted to say thank you for posting.
