My family (all Latino, obviously; some of them US citizens registered in Florida) overwhelmingly support Trump. Last night the group chat turned into my aunts and uncles spouting dumb Facebook Boomer shit about how Biden is a socialist Maduro supporter. As many people are saying today, "Latino" is an extremely wide swath of cultures and nationalities, many of them very conservative (especially those that are wealthy, and also those that immigrated to the US and feel protective of having done it "the right way").

I’ve heard others echo similar statements and I agree that the blue team needs to be more proactive vs just assuming “not white means blue”. It will be interesting to see the Asian American vote given the rising power of that groupJorge wrote:My family (all Latino, obviously; some of them US citizens registered in Florida) overwhelmingly support Trump.
