So what issues did they feel Trump sold out on specifically? I'm struggling to think of issues where he actually made any real compromises with the left on things that could be seen as "selling out".
He "sold them out" because he didn't instantly close the borders, deport as many Muslims as possible and immediately begin weaponizing the FBI against what they view as enemies of the state. Uhh, their other big issue was a refusal to pick far right people for his cabinet, going with establishment choices. The amount of energy, money and support given to Israel pissed a lot of them off and they felt when he didn't immediately order American soldiers to fire the migrant caravans that he was basically betraying the country.
Most Legal Latinos hate illegals with a passion and a decently large minority of Legal Latinos want to see illegals either exterminated or rounded up and marched to the border trail of tears style and when the President didn't do something he never promised he would do and couldn't do even if he wanted too..well it was another example of his betrayal.
A lot of them also were under the mistaken impression that any sitting President could just send the military into cities and begin rounding up lawyers, teachers and activists...Or that he'd not only pull the US from NATO but defund the UN and eject its entire staff from New York by force of arms.
his capitulating on the budget and his flirtations with Red flag laws...I even heard a few Cuban Americans rage at him over refusing to nominated Roy Moore to the US Supreme Court...weirdly enough.
Another major point was that many of them wanted Big banks to be destroyed, Woke megacorps to be declared terrorists and their CEO's indicted and shot. None of which is realistic...but when enough people believe it to move a needle...well.
The impression I've always had is that most of these people expected Donald Trump to conduct a white terror and just annihilate what they viewed as enemies of the state and their own interests and when he failed to do that and went out and negotiated as opposed to taking what he wanted many of these people turned on him.
Like I've said a million times, the nature of the American right is rapidly changing due to immigration and it isn't becoming more tolerant or democratic...and its not necessarily a change for the best.
But a lot of people don't see it...Choose not too or just blank out.
@LindyAF Trump gained ground with those rainbow coalition groups but he didn't gain as much as he could have was my point and my second point?
He didn't gain the Latinos and Africans who matter...Because an incredibly small minority of those communities wield an immense amount of influence and power over those communities in general and those particular groups of people..simply refused to weigh in.
And that may sound like a foreign concept to American politics...but patronage culture is a real thing down South and it tends to create herd voting.
And that has been my point.
