Summary

Trump’s support among Latinos has plummeted as he nears his first 100 days in office, with many saying they feel betrayed by the scope of his policies, particularly immigration enforcement.

Almost three in four Latinos (72%) now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.

Many Venezuelans, for example, have been impacted by the decision to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they’re going to come take me somewhere I won’t be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”

    you choose not to engage with the political process

    it’s not anyone else’s job to save you from your own choices

      Choosing not to engage is implicit consent. The largest voting block in the United States are the ones that don’t. There’s a reason they try to disillusion and disenfranchise people into not engaging or voting. It serves the purpose of the people who are the problem. Not the people who aren’t voting. And at some point other people’s problems become your own. So while it isn’t your job. It’s a good idea to keep things from getting that bad.

        you can lead a horse to water

        honestly I do blame the democratic establishment for doing fuck all beyond making themselves rich but it is a citizens responsibility to be i formed and part of the political process, if people are doing neither I have zero sympathy for them when they fuck themselves over
