    Hispanics in Texas tend socially conservative. They’re also big fans of the “I’ve got mine” ladder pull. Texas is not going to turn purple any time soon.

      Eh it’s not just in Texas. I got a coworker who married a Hispanic who got in with a green card then let it expire (she was here illegally with her family who were living here under the radar).

      He worked for years to get her citizenship. Now that she has hers, they are the staunchest supporter of Trump and are against any kind of immigration at all.

      I like to heckle him about it but it seems pointless because he always just gives me this ‘I don’t get it’ look - like he really doesn’t see the hypocrisy in their position at all.

      Conservatives and pulling up the ladder, name a more iconic duo.

      After pulling up the ladder, they’ll tell you to get up by your bootstraps like they did in all earnestness.

    Precinct-level data suggests that a slim majority of Los Fresnos voters favored Trump in 2024, mirroring a flip of the overwhelmingly Latino Cameron County from blue to red.

    Leopards ate.

    Whenever this happens, say to no one in particular: conservatives did this. It is surprising how everything they touch turns to suck.
