The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

    Might be the same reason why Mexicans vote for Republicans as well. As a Mexican I’ve observed that there’s plenty of racism and misogyny still going about, especially among the religious and ignorant crowd.

      They cross the rope bridge going over the Rio Grande and then cut the rope once they’re across. The amount of hate I’ve seen Mexican immigrants direct at Mexicans trying to immigrate is mind blowing. So it’s no wonder that they flock to the republican party.

      Latinos subscribe heavily to the machismo personality = good, and that any threat against it is a threat to their existence. They are raised religious with heavy incentive on strong family structures, something that conservatives use as a weapon to curry favor.

        Yep, I remember seeing my ex brother in law seem upset for half a second at his baby gender reveil party when they popped a balloon and it was pink. The wife noticed and quickly unscrolled her blue parchment saying it was a lie and it was actually a boy. He wasn’t a bad dude but there was definitely machismo there.
