‘If that dude’s mama gets deported, that’s on him’: Democrats’ reaction to Trump-voting Latinos is unforgivable

I noted how Trump’s appeal is largely driven by polarization via education, given that people with college degrees and advanced degrees largely broke for Kamala Harris whereas those without a bachelor’s degree voted for Trump. Understandably, Martin then highlighted multiple stories of Latinos who know they are at risk of being sent out of the United States under Trump’s proposed mass deportation plans but who still voted for the man. Shortly afterward, Martin said to me: “If that dude’s mama gets deported, that’s on him and I’m gonna play Scarface’s ‘No Tears,’” essentially saying that once Latinos who voted for Trump suffer in the wake of such policies, there will be no sympathy. Saying that they will shed no tears when Trump begins the mass deportation of Latinos sure makes it sound like Democrats would rather be smugly right than treat them as human beings.
