As well as winning over Hispanic voters, Trump improved his position in some surprising corners.

Summary

“It’s simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago,” said Samuel Negron, a Pennsylvania state constable and member of the large Puerto Rican community in the city of Allentown.

Donald Trump achieved a decisive victory over Kamala Harris, capturing key demographics that traditionally supported Democrats. He gained substantial support from white working-class voters, saw a 14-point increase among Latino voters, and performed better than expected with younger voters, especially men.

Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were central to Trump’s appeal, with voters across states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin favoring his promises of lower prices and stricter immigration policies.

Harris struggled to retain support in diverse and working-class areas, as voters blamed Democrats for economic hardships.

        No the tears are when you forget to bring your ID for a walk around the neighborhood and end up in a concentration camp

        Don’t forget your ID, I’d hate to see you end up sharing a tent with all of those “bad hombres”

        Good luck! ;)

          Oh you! Always worrying about me!

          While I appreciate the concern, nothing like that is going to happen. You know why? Because all of this fear mongering is just that: fear mongering!

          You know how I know it’s all fear mongering? Don’t you worry! I did all the hard work for you: I did the research! And I brought receipts!!™

          You see kids, denaturalization is a process that has been in place since the early 1900s. It is used to revoke the citizenship of people who really REALLY shouldn’t be here. We are talking Terrorists, Russian spys, Nazis (like, actual Nazis from WWII, not just people who don’t agree with you politically in the year 2024). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_denaturalized_former_citizens_of_the_United_States)

          I feel this is a worthy use of our tax dollars! I mean, you want to deport Nazis and Russian spys, right?

          “But, Awesomo!” (you whine), “Trump is going to go after all the innocent “brown people”!”(brown people© Democrats 2006)

          Hmmm…I don’t know. Will he really? If only we had some sort of historical data to back up this totally baseless claim……

          Ooops! We do have data! (though it doesn’t support the claim AT ALL) You see, Trump was already President once. And everyone is claiming that he came down with an Iron Fist the first go-round with plans to expand! Turns out only 4 people, let me repeat that: 4 PEOPLE TOTAL, were denaturalized under President Trump. And guess what? Those 4 people were a terrorist, a LITERAL Nazi, and a couple of war criminals. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_denaturalized_former_citizens_of_the_United_States)

          Hell, President Obama (the great and powerful and o-so-cool) denaturalized 8 people during his terms! And again, these were (undeniably) undesirable people.

          So you see, you don’t need to worry your pretty little head about me. I (like every other US citizen that migrated here legally and isn’t a Nazi or Terrorist) have NOTHING to be afraid of.

          Hugs and kisses!

            Why would he use this process instead of his stated approach of using the alien enemies act?

            Oh, you just posted this because, like many other people claiming “I did the research”, you have no idea how to do research.
