    How is this not satire? How do real, breathing people think that, not only is this a real thing that will work, but that blabbing it out on live tv is a good idea?! Fuck.

          Well, hispanics or latinos aren’t a single monolithic group of people. Some of them see the other latino immigrants (especially the undocumented) with disdain. It’s just a matter of stroking their ego and saying whatever that sticks to the single issue voters.

            Especially newish immigrants. They’re big on business tax breaks, They don’t want more aliens coming in because it’s direct competition.

          Not in 2016 which is when the tweet is from. He did almost exactly as well as Romney 4 years before.

      The whole thing is pretty basic. And perhaps that’s why it’s so horrifying.

      People like you and I that find this insulting and absurd? We weren’t voting GOP anyway, no loss.

      People watching Fox News? They’re nodding their heads, “Yeah. That makes sense.”

      See? Fox isn’t losing voters it didn’t have anyway, and at the same time, they’re making their viewers more comfortable.

          Hey, punks get really uncomfortable when we hear a white man in a suit say what we’re thinking. Even mundane shit like “let’s grab a falafel”
