Summary
Latino men played a key role in Donald Trump’s election victory, with 43-55% supporting him, drawn by promises of economic relief, job opportunities, and small business support.
Despite higher workforce participation, many Latino men face wage gaps, dangerous jobs, and lower educational attainment compared to other groups.
Some prioritize trade skills or entrepreneurship over college, seeking practical returns on investment.
Experts highlight the need for policies addressing economic barriers, job training, and health coverage to sustain their support.
Future voting will depend on whether these voters see tangible progress in achieving the American Dream.
As a latino man, I can tell you all of these economic reasons are just as bullshit as when white men say it’s their reason for voting for him.
The reason is Machismo. They view Trump as a strong man who does whatever he wants and gets away with it and there are PLENTY of latino men who are very much in favor of this.
Why did Mexico get a woman president? Or Argentina? Or Brazil? Or Nicaragua, or Panama? Chile, Costa Rica and Honduras…? I’m not in saying macho doesn’t exist in Latinos, but I’m struggling to understand how these countries could do it…
American culture magnifies it.
Meanwhile China is slowly working towards global dominance in the EV space which we all know is the future.
The American empire is in that stage of decay where the men are actively lying to themselves about their greatness. The whole manosphere (which originated in the US) is based on that premise.
As they feel themselves sliding further and further into the periphery of relevance, they’ll elect increasingly fascist leaders to try and reassert their dominance, only to be swindled by those they put into power.
It’s all downhill from here.
You can just say misogyny.
No? It’s a specific attitude among the latino community that extends beyond just misogyny
I agree, in Latino culture they perfer voting for conservative strongment like Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
I’m Latino too, and I agree. Misogyny is a big part, but machismo also covers a specific cultural, historical and toxic attitude between Hispanic men too.
Lol. Latino countries elect women as presidents all the time. The US NEVER votes for women, even when they’re running against a disgusting rapist. Looking at the statistics it’s always white people stopping women from being elected. But it’s the Latino minority who are misogynist?
Wild reach! That’s some massive prejudice you’ve got under the hood there.
Insecurity in their own sexuality can lead to both these things.
Yeah. That’s why Mexico’s president is a left-wing feminist woman. Because “machismo”, you’ve got it all figured out. The 60% of US Latinos who have Mexican origin came to the US to run away from her.
That just proved his point. Mexico elected a woman so they went to a country that’s going to have a misogynistic president. Also women outnumbers the men in mexico 51% to 48%.
I seriously can’t tell if you’re kidding.
Or is it because she’s a mob legacy?
I forgot that part of machismo, where you put aside being macho in order to vote for mobsters. Classic Latino cultural phenomenon.
Per op, machismo would be why you vote for mobsters. That having been said I know nothing on the subject, just correcting your obvious logical fault.
That’s not a logical fault, you just don’t understand what machismo means. It’s specifically referring to a gendered attitude that emphasies male strength and leadership. The idea that mobs are macho and Mexican men are macho but that contributed to the election of a woman is normally the kind of drivel only head injuries and drugs can produce.
It’s because they want to be in the settler class, ie they want to be white. It’s not an irrational strategy, whites in the US have a different relationship to the means of production and other races that were once considered minorities like Irish and Italians, are now treated as white now.
It really has nothing to do with ideology. It’s calculated economic move that many liberals’ ancestors themselves made.
