      It’s not impossible. There’s lots of Latinos in Texas, and for obvious reasons, Trump and Republicans aren’t very popular with Latinos right now.

        How they ever were popular with them is still mind-boggling to me. Yeah conservatism runs deep but Trump is a well established racist who also hated paying his contractors

          How they ever were popular with them is still mind-boggling to me.

          Latinos are likely to identify as Catholic.

          The Catholic church was/is very much against abortion.

          Republicans campaigned on getting rid of abortion.

          … That alone is a big part of it. But at this point the ‘getting rounded up into concentration camps’ issue might begin to outweigh the abortion issue.
