    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

      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.

        That, I do get but dang that’s swallowing a whole lot of garbage for a sliver of something desirable

            I’d love to blame first past the post voting for this but I know it’s a copout

              Well, FPTP sure isn’t helping with that.

              Without FPTP, there would be the possibility of a third party emerging that was still anti-abortion but had more reasonable stances on other issues.
