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.
His buddy called your homeland garbage.
He didn’t give a shit.
Things were absolute shit four years ago. Do these people have amnesia? The economy during the beginning of the Trump presidency was great because of Obama. Trump quickly fucked that up and ended his presidency with a near collapse of our economy.
These people are idiots.
I personally was a big fan of the death and unmitigated disaster surrounding the fumbling of COVID-19. Another big highlight was the 2020 election interference as well. This is what our country deserves, pretty soon reality is gonna hit all of us and we’ll know we fucked up.
I wonder how many of these are second generation immigrants. I’m very much generalizing here, but they can frequently be some of the most “fuck you got mine” people throughout history (like, a lot of Irish and Italian Americans second generations voted for all sorts of racist douchebags up and down the eastern seaboard in the 1960s-1990s, I think a similar thing happened with German Americans and Polish Americans in the Midwest).
I have never understood that. My dad was an immigrant and he always told me about how I should be grateful for where I lived (which I somewhat was until Wednesday morning) and welcoming to people like him who came here from different places. He always said he was “American by choice” and felt that was a choice that was important to offer to others.

I’m not sure if school failed you or you’re just not an American, but either way: Puerto Rico is part of the USA.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.
I’m talking about this.
Calm your tentacles your gonna ink yourself. Its real simple im trying to explain the low IQ thought process. Puerto Rico is an island, they speak Spanish. If you were born there it’s your homeland. Maybe you grow up and think the opportunity is less than ideal. Sometimes in jokes people say exaggerations and use imagery to help convey a message or punchline. Then you travel to the USA mainland to make a better life for your family.
Congratulations you agree have migrated and agree with people who don’t have your best interest at heart.
Puerto Rico is not garbage
I haven’t been, but my parents went maybe 20 years ago and they told me that San Juan is kind of run down but that the island as a whole is beautiful.
Which is what I would have expected to hear and it sure doesn’t sound like garbage to me.
