No we can't be friends and yes it's that serious

Don't worry. The fascist regime will be issuing counterfeit passes to anyone who wants one.

Really, it's racist to say that only black people can use it. /s
- Real talk, every time I go home, my parents throw the word around everywhere (In their home. They suck, but aren't stupid). They justify it by saying "it's just a trashy person of any color". So I tell them to go ahead use it in public to see what the response is. I still don't think they've tried it. At least not in any circles that will get them in an ass whooping situation
- I hear that insane take from the same people that say BLM was Antifa’s terrorist movement.
- Honestly they stole the word from white men, its just time for them to take back what rightfully belongs! /s
Already handing out rape passes, it’s only a matter of days.

It's OK they will learn all sorts of new slurs from police, ICE, border patrol, people at Walmart

fuck man... I chuckled hard. but i willingly gave that up a few years ago... didn't feel right growing up in the burbs.

I may have brain damage, but I can't see this image without hearing Morpheus' voice in my head screaming: "NEEOOOOO WAKE UP NEEEEOOO!"

Sorry, I'm a latino, Mexicano, living in México, so I don't really have the slightest idea of how did this happen. Can someone give it a try?

EDIT: While I appreciate all of your replies, I'm even more confused as I see people mentioning "hispanic americans" as a synonym for "latino". This was an interesting read about the confusion. However, the reasons seem to be addressed against Hispanic Americans, but the meme os against Latinos. It feels a bit artificial or even prejudicial. Sorry for this edit, I'm not really sure about what I'm trying to say.

Hispanic Americans overwhelmingly voted to pull the ladder up behind them
Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don't see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don't feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.
Why doesn't working class matter? Because such people generally aren't as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.
- Because such people generally aren't as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling.
  If only there was a party that had education about policies part of their ideology.
- Hey, you do better!
Mexico has been a tidal wave of leftist political energy. Its so funny to hear Mayo Americans complain about electing one of their own, after they turned out in droves for him.
- Mayo Americans? Was that an autocorrect error or am I missing something?
Lemmi-nistas are out in full force pretending Kamala didn't run a horrible campaign.
She offered nothing for working class and then refused to sit down with Rogan.
- Rogan is a slime sucking dumbass. Why would anyone give that fuck the time of day?
- I dunno man, I was gonna try to use the $25,000 down payment assistance to buy a duplex but now instead I'll be paying out the ass for everything because of those fucking tarrifs. The only thing Trump did for the working class was insult them with his pathetic McDonald's stunt, and then clumsily climbed into the passenger side of a garbage truck to show off what a pile of garbage he is.
- FUCK JOE ROGAN. He is a dipshit. You are too for listening to him seriously.
- Refusing to sit down with Broprah is something to be admired. Not admonished.
- and then refused to sit down with Rogan
  Yes, that was the end of her campaign for sure, not sitting down and chatting with the must gullible, misogynistic meathead alive.
  I imagine it would have gone something like this.

- Oh right, because Trump ran the most amazing campaign ever!
- The Democratic campaign underestimated just how stupid, racist, and misogynistic the average US citzen is. Don't get me wrong, they should've known and definitely could've ran a better campaign, but this is mostly on Americans being too dumb to know what's best for them.
  I personally don't blame any minorities, considering white men and women were by far the most prominent Trump voters. The US is a country of racist dumbasses.
- With you on the first line, but sitting down with Rogan would not have changed anything. Especially with Rogans preferential treatment of right wing figures if anyone's been paying attention. But the DNC 100% fucked up.
- She offered nothing for working class and then refused to sit down with Rogan.
  One of these is unforgiveable. But also, after liberals went absolutely apeshit over Bernie sitting down with Rogan, I can see why Harris was hesitant.
  I also remember when people were very excited about student debt relief and an increased min wage and the Green New Deal jobs program and finally putting an end to Kids In Cages and Gitmo and the ugly foreign wars and... Oops.

So, can college educated whites say it?

When they stop pretending to be offended on behalf of minority groups....
Actually I'm not qualified to even joke about that.

Yup, lets just keep pointing fingers so we never learn anything.

Liberals are literally scapegoating minorities instead of criticizing the DNC.
- Pointing the finger and learning nothing? Like I said?
- Even though if it was up to minorities Trump would not have been elected
"When you point a finger you have three pointing at you"

This is how you divide your competition.

Yeah fuck minorities! It's their fault the democrats lost and no one else's, least of all the democrats themselves!

So exhausted of the minority bashing on lemmy and other leftist/alternative social media, it was here before but it got way worse after the election. Anybody who thinks its ok to judge an entire population of peoples based on the political associations of some is fucking stupid and can fuck right off.
- Lol. Have you seen people on Lemmy talking about "conservatives" or "Republicans" this is literally Lemmy's only way of thinking.
One of the reasons why I took a break from Lemmy for election week is I stopped being able to tell Hasbera from Democrats. In fact, the Hasbera are still trolling on Lemmy and reddit, blaming Palestinians for Harris's lost.
We have been arguing Democrats are a party without a people for a long time. At this point, I honestly feel anything I type is lost to the void
- It's incredibly infuriating. And the worst part is you already see democrat mainstream media types setting their crosshairs on trans people. In 2028, the democratic party will run on the 2024 republican platform, just like they ran on the 2020 republican platform today, and there's nothing we can do to stop it, because of these idiotic shitlibs.
They voted to be deported. I won't cry over that. Fuck around and find out.
- Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds. Which group are you going after next? Trans people? Jews?
- If anyhing, it's fucking hilarious, and they deserve to be laughed at. Maybe you won't do dumb shit next time if you're scared it'll be used to make you look bad

Man.. when I lived in Los Angeles. Latinos hated blacks, it surprised me - I heard some crazy shit that made me look like ಠ_ಠ

Gangs are no laughing matter

Didn't black males vote Trump too?

Just the zoomers with brain rot. Black voters went from like 90% to 80% Democrats.
You're probably confused because some headline said Trump doubled his support among black men and it didn't mention the baseline was 15%. Which is, ya know, fucking stupid of them in the first place but it is what it is.
- The shift is kind of what's important. Actual black woman Kamala Harris couldn't maintain the same level of support among black voters as Joe "You Ain't Black" Biden. There are some pretty severe flaws in Harris's campaign strategy that we need to study and rectify in the next four years.

Nonblacks have never had an n-word pass. It's never ok.

Actually my cousin's friend Jeremy gave me a one-time pass as long as I don't tell his mom he threw rocks into Ms. Jones's garden, but aside from that I agree.
- Did your cousin's friend Jeremy offer it unprompted or did you ask for that?
Fun Fact: The n-word was used against anyone with dark enough skin, including Latinos, Indians, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders.
It's kind of wild as a modern American reading people like Rudyard Kipling and having him just drop a casual n-word about Indians, honestly.
I've heard it said in person more by hispanics and pacific islanders than I've heard it from black or white people.
- People saying it does not mean they have a pass.
I'm given to understand that Quentin Tarantino was given one by Samuel L Jackson, personally.

Man, The Onion really called this one: https://youtu.be/qBYmyYK4Kcg

What’s this about?

Scapegoating minorities.

Democracy Dies in Disbelief

This country has got two brown people's, ok three. Nah 4 if you count Peruvians. Ok 5, cuz of the Indian. Anyway! There's the Hispanics and the Latinos....and the Latinos have got to go! WTF! Voting for Trump for?

Just kidding 😂. You know what happened in your gut. They actually did rig the elections.

Trump supporters are the correct blame recipients.
- I agree with this statement.
Let’s not blame minorities for what was clearly the blame of white people.
"This is why Trump got elected" is why Trump got elected.
It wasn't even a month ago that people were freaking out about young black men defecting to the Republican Party. You had Obama running around all the states Harris lost, trying to shame black voters for a Trump vote they never cast. You had news media blaming black Muslims of being responsible for their own persecution. Just a tidal wave of anger at black Americans for not doing enough to help Harris win.
They ended up being her biggest supporters, while all the white cable news heads and Hawk Tuah podcast listeners and AM Radio addicts were the ones defecting from the party.
Lots of white Trump voters or white vote abstainers downvoting.
- Mistakes were made. Mistakes by the campaign specifically. My point is this post is bigoted against a minority, allegedly by another minority.
  At least I am calling out the white idiots as a fellow white idiot.
  That being said, the rightwards pivot on the border, trying to get the never Trumpers (who apparently still voted for Trump by the same margin in 2020 and that's after January 6th), and the prince of warcrimes himself, Dick Cheney. Yeah. That is your problem. Plus ignoring the genocide.
  One final point being, Republicans don't have a monopoly on Racism or Misogyny unfortunately and those Democrats probably stayed home....
Lots of people who think "hot take" as a preface really just means "I'm about to say some dumb shit that I don't want to be held socially accountable for", more like.
- Oh sure the majority of the majority race voted for Trump, must be the Latinos' fault.
  Makes sense.
- Lots of people who think “hot take” as a preface really just means
  Side note - did the definition of "hot take" change in recent years? I thought it used to mean "this is my first reaction without taking the time to look deeply" then suddenly it became "here's my unpopular opinion."
  Was I ever right? Or was it always used like it is today?
How did you say "clearly the blame of XYZ" and immediately say "I don't know the exact numbers" in the very next sentence?
You must have been dropped as a baby.
- Thanks for the intelligent contribution to the conversation.
  Something like 65% of white men and 40% of white women voted for Trump. They account for about 61% of the population so by definition are the majority of the voting population.
  What is really going on is called divide and rule.
