    Australian news just blamed Latin Americans for Trump's win.

    Lmao you can't make this shit up. Doesn't take much to get crackers doing racist shit.

      Everything I hear about Australia makes it seem like they're desperately trying to let everyone know how reprehensible the ruling class there is

        The ruling class (emboldened since Trump. Not the other day, the first time) is ramping up division to try and win elections because it really works on barely engaged proles.

        They're hiring ad companies to throw anti labour ads on Facebook (which Australian millennials still use for some reason). Those ads weren't even true, Labor is no way that based, and they disguised them as shitposts instead of sponsored political attack ads.

        Luckily the (relative) lack of Christian nationalists compared to the US means there's a much weaker Evangelical base.

      Like

      It's funny because they keep lumping Latine people into this big ball like they don't grasp that Latin America isn't a monolith

      A Columbian isn't the same as an Argentinian isn't the same as a Dominican

      The social stratum of these countries is just a complex and varied as any other nation

      But nope, "y'all speak Spanish, so y'all the same"

        And even when they acknowledge it there’s still lots of weird generalizations. Some journalist in 2020 said the Guatemalan diaspora voted Democrat because they’re all indigenous which is a huge lol if you know the demographics and culture of this country

      I like how white people get a pass because everybody knee they'd do this.

      57% of male Latinos went for Trump l, something like 75% of white males did.

      Obviously it's the Latinos fault.

      Oh and white women voted for Trump for a third straight election make sure to keep that in mind if another pussy hat protest pops up.

      The fun part is even if that was true, it just makes the dems more incompetent because when he was running Bernie was doing incredibly well with that demo
