Six years ago in this newspaper, I coined the term “rancho libertarian” to describe a political ideology I was observing in many of the Latino men I knew.
Proud of their family’s rural immigrant roots but fully of this country. Working class at heart, middle class in income. Skeptical of big government and woke politics yet committed to bettering their communities. Believers in the American Dream they had seen their parents achieve — and afraid it was slipping away.

The rancho libertarians I knew were mostly Mexican Americans, but not exclusively — there were Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Peruvians, Colombians. They weren’t Donald Trump fans — he only won 28% of the Latino vote in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, according to the Pew Research Center — but I saw how Latino men could easily cozy up to him. An orange-tinted despot seemed relatively harmless compared to the ones in their ancestral lands, so they didn’t view Trump as much of a threat.

I’m still scratching my head over that one. I never thought I’d see Meh-Hee-Co go woke.
Latino men came out for Trump in 2020 as well. Maybe not the numbers he got this go around, but IIRC, it was higher than prior elections.
Also, latinas don’t like to be referred to as latinx.
Mexico hasn’t gone woke. It’s much more complex than that.
This looks like a good article from the BBC re the same subject matter:

‘It’s simple, really’ - why Latinos flocked to Trump’s working-class coalition
It appears the Latino men said no to the RAT plantation. They aren’t picking berries anymore. They’re working construction. The libs can pick their own strawberries.
I think that in 2028 they’re going to support Vance in greater numbers. I don’t see any Democrat male, or especially female, who is going to appeal to them.
Problems:
1. “Blame” for Trump’s victory? We stopped reading right then and there.
2. “Latino”. — racist
3. “Men” — sexist.
Conclusion: This article must have been written by a Democrap propaganda operative
4 LASlimes ? That clinches it
I don’t even want to think about 2028. I’m already missing Trump.
Curious title from the LA Times. Bias anyone. How about this alternative title:
Why it’s wrong to credit Trump’s victory on latino men
By 2028 I'm probably going to be eating pudding and ice cream and making people angry when I have to have my diaper changed.
Blame???
The correct term is Credit.
Blame for the wipeout belongs with the dem party. Period.
“Latino Americans for Trump”
If a Democrat official had written that hand-sign in the picture, it would say something like “LatinX’s for Harris”.
(and the Democrats wonder why Trump got nearly half of their vote)
“Why it’s wrong to blame Trump’s victory on Latino men”
You can’t “blame” someone for doing something that saves the country and improves the lives of everyone who lives in it.
Blame? How about “Credit”?
You know where this ahole is coming from.
Blame them? I congratulate them!
Agreed
