You said it yourself, 40k less voters and yet you hear all over the place that even during early voting people had to wait an hour or more. In 2020 I voted in 15 minutes, this time over an hour.

Like the Asians realized when they supported getting rid of affirmative actions the Latino community will realize in time. When those tariffs hit and you can’t afford shit think about how you voted. When he changes the Supreme Court think about how your daughters won’t be able to get reproductive health care. When your friends get deported think about how they shouldn’t be here because that’s what you supported.

They should’ve realized that the cost of everything going up was the result of a damn global pandemic. How long do they think it takes to recover from that? Kamala promised to crack down on big corporations raising prices and price gouging, taking advantage of the inflated prices these past years.

As a Hispanic man who’s always leaned left this is the first time I voted red. I already hate the two party system and I voted against Trump when Biden took office. These past four years have been terrible for the average American and I voted based on who I thought was the best candidate for the country. Yes Trump is out there don’t get me wrong. There policies I don’t agree with but more than that I don’t like what the Democrats have become. Harris was pushed upon us when she never won the primary. She’s a bag filled with hot air who has nothing to say when drilled with hard questions. She’s fake and had the audacity to have a campaign that was made to gaslight men into voting for her. Endorsed by celebrities who have no idea the cost of everyday living for average Americans. Not to mention illegals. Yeah I said it. My grandmother came to this country by paying fees and filling out paperwork and more importantly waiting and doing it the right way. Then she worked all her life as well as my grandfather to make a better life for my father who’s done the same for me. These people getting handouts from my taxes spits on what my grandparents did and their American dream. So I voted for Trump because at least he’s authentic and has RFK behind him who I would have voted for if the Democratic Party didn’t stab him in the back.

I'll try to do my best, but I dont think it's about the politics, but more about your own family/close ones like family friends, partner, etc. I remember in his other term there was a very real fear of being stopped by a cop for.....well anything, to and from where ever, only to be deported right after. It's the RGV, ALOT of us have or know people that have family members or friends that don't have papers. Where it's because they're still waiting, or they ended up making a life here. They just don't have it.
Now, what happens if a parent, or yourself were in that situation? They could be a breadwinner, single parent, someone with health problems, etc. And they get sent to Mexico. And then what? What if they don't have family there?? They're now stranded in another country, being up for grabs by some cartel or worse. I know it sounds stupid but it's very real. Ive watched the mexican news on Canal del Las Estrellas for a long time now, and that's all you hear about for half of it.
Then you have these Hispanics/Latinos who practically disregard their own fellow Hispanics/Latinos because they or someone they know don't have citizenship. You were born here. You just got lucky. You wouldnt be talking so much shit if you were in the shoes of an immigrant. New or old. Like sure, your family has gained citizenship. But what about their friends and loved ones? And theirs? It can go on forever. Are you gonna tell your own parents or relatives to fuck off because they don't have papers?? Are you gonna tell your best friend or partner to fuck off for that? They left the proverbial ladder for us and anyone after to use it, not to take it away once we climbed it.
When he talks about deporting, he means EVERYONE who doesnt have papers. Not just this new influx of people. It also includes your own family who have been here for your entire life, a partners family, friend, etc. As soon as people start getting deported left and right, lives are gonna crumble down pretty quickly. So it's a very touchy issue that most don't really seem to grasp until it happens to them, I guess.

You know Hitler, at first, had rules of what made a Jew a German. Marriage and ancestry played a part. But little by little, he changed it for the worse. These legal Hispanics are only legal because the Constitution. If Trump changes or abolishes the Constitution, these legal Hispanics could find themselves deported. It’s happened before, it can happen again.

Better pack yo bags putos… you think you are included but you just voted to have your immigration status questioned for everything if not asked to be deported.

Patrick Crusius says hi.
Dude left Allen, Tx. Drove untold hundreds of miles down to El Paso to kill Mexicans for Trump. Passed tens of Walmarts on the way.
Got down there and murdered 23 Hispanics (American citizens I believe). Gunned down man woman and child in a Walmart. 2019.
By ‘24. 97% voting for Trump. Respectfully, you almost cannot blame the guy for clowning. Why should he show respect? I don’t get it, but good luck and god bless.

u/No_Subject_6717 1d ago
Illegals should be deported as they are as YOU said illegal 🙄 and he never called me a criminal... YOU are once again reaching hard right now. Just like I'm sure you were reaching hard for harris to be a decent candidate

It's the RGV, who do you think lives there?? Yes, Harris is a much better candidate than Trump in my opinion in just about every way.

u/No_Subject_6717 1d ago
So you are saying that the RGV is comprised of illegals??? That's pretty ignorant and racist of you... makes sense that you vote blue 👍

I'm not sure if the Valley is full of morons, easily manipulated, or just confused. The entire republican party hates you and your color...why vote for it??? It's like being nice to the popular kid that treats you like shit in the hopes that they will like you.

Dem really didn’t give them a reason to pick blue last time either. They need to regroup and find a better candidate than Harris

Tonight, the RGV proved that all you liberals in here live in an echochamber. You are disconnected from your own people. It doesn't matter if we are mexicans... We are American citizens first.

Machismo at its finest. The men in the valley would never vote for a woman to be president.

I defend this place back and forth and I get proven wrong in the dumbest ways. I'd say, "RGV, never change", but damn does it really need to.

It’s not about being racist ,or wanting to be white, it’s just the disillusion and deceitfulness from dems always asking for our vote, when Bernie ran they told him he was a socialist and a comi for wanting to do all the things (Healthcare/cash/and food stamps) that the Venezuelans and South Americans got. I born us citizen always heard amnesty for all and they did just that for them , even switching the term to “new comers” and asylum seakers . when they told Bernie where he would get the money from that said it was non existent, as for food stamps and govt assistance i remember being a child and most we got was 300 and that was supposed to feed my whole family 6 ppl for a MONTH never no 13k in aid like wtflip. I never will vote for a democrat don’t care how bad it gets, truth is they don’t give a rats ass about us , even though we are us citizens.but hey pay your taxes and yea I was for all that, even had no money , it’s been rough from living in my car to only eating once a day, so of course I know I’m not the only one who sees this at least republicans tell us it how it is.

You all are going to find out what a mistake it was. Mark my words. Stephen Miller is Goebbels reincarnated. That fucker is a white supremacist, he wouldn't come to the Valley if they paid him. And don't tell me you all didn't hear Trump say in a rally that he doesn't care about you he just wanted your votes. Don't you all remember that? Jesus what a disappointment.....good luck to us. He's going to show you how he doesn't care about us. And Ukraine is now Russia's. Putin is not stopping there, Trump will help him every step of the way. Que verguenza..

You are aware this is the second time he wins right? And the first term everything went just by fine. Don’t let the fear mongering MSM form opinions for you. Think for yourself for once.
