2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Do the people with signs like "make America Mexico again" [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)58. They do not want Trump
but it is not as simple as saying they are for the Democrats either. If you think so, then you are looking at this from a very comfortable seat indeed. Though since I am registered at the registrar also as a latino, I just got a robo call from Loretta Sanches using the FEAR TRUMP card, a very different add than the ones running on my anglo TV.
That said, the issues for the Mexican American community are much older than 2016.This is politics happening OUTSIDE both parties. And trust me, that frustrates both parties to no end.

It's true. The USA stole half of Mexico. If the truth is offensive I guess deal with it.

I agree. I'm afraid Stump will now say, "See, that's why we need a wall. Vote for me."
