Some progressives blame Latinos for Trump win, rather than Democrats' shortcomings

As President Donald Trump cracks down on immigration programs, some voters on the left are taking out their frustrations not only on his administration — but also on Latinos who supported him.

In Miami-Dade County, which is majority Hispanic, 55% of voters favored Trump. In Doral, home to the largest Venezuelan community in the U.S., Trump won with 61% of votes. In Hialeah, a Cuban stronghold, he got 76%.

Some progressive voters accuse Latinos who voted for Trump of betraying other immigrants who now face legal uncertainty and deportation under the administration's aggressive enforcement of immigration laws.

"I feel that a lot of progressives kind of look at us immigrants... like we're the laughing stock right now. Like, 'Oh my gosh, you supported Trump so much and now look where you guys are,'" said  Andreina Kissane, a Venezuelan-American and three-time Trump voter. She backs his economic approach and plan to deport criminal immigrants to ensure national security.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The progressives blaming immigrants are future democrat political stars and high-level party positions.  The real key, though, is to absolve your party of any and all responsibility for its ignorance and bad leadership. :whistle:

So shall we feel schadenfreude about this?  The 'Rats thought bringing lots of Latinos into the country would ensure them permanent majority status.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

So, the Left are racist, xenophobic, nativist hate mongers suffering from an overdose of irony?

Meanwhile, the Left ignores African-Americans because their demographics were less favorable than the Dems' hopes for the illegal border crossers.

Next, Dems will be mad at African-Americans for abandoning their party after their party abandoned faithful black voters for Latinos that don't vote for Dems.

Dems are dinks.
