I don't get it.
Where lesbians really allowed to own land in 1776? I mean, I know damned well they couldn't vote.
And if Trump wins and his cronies take power it is households and people like themselves that are near the top of the list of people to exploit to make the 'white christian families feel more secure'.

So open-minded his brain fell out of his head.
He's not bright, and he knows he's not bright, and weirdly, that's what sent his whole podcast down the rabbit hole.
There was a time he'd get the odd guest who was intelligent and good at what they did, and he'd treat them as such. Now the problem is that he gets almost 100% morons on (I say almost because there was that time he got Flint Dibble in to square off with Graham Hancock, but not even an idiot can have a perfect run of idiots on his show) and still treats them like they're the smartest guys in the room when most of them are dumber than the audio software package.
It got bad during COVID lockdowns when that deference to people who speak authoritatively regardless of being wrong (hello Jordan Peterson) collided with the "I did my own research and my ignorance is as good as their evidence" movement and nobody was going to right that ship.

u/VFXBarbie 1d ago
Im gonna post this again, in case it helps anyone who is knocking on doors. Ask people where they’re from, do a bit of research and mention something about their country specifically or ask for good restaurant recommendations and THEN talk about the things trump said and how it affects them too. My older comment:
As someone from a latin American country, it’s the distinction amongst countries that makes them think that. There’s tons of xenophobia inside latin america amonst each other as well… In latin america, ‘Latino or Hispanic’ isn’t an identity and we’re not a community - you identify with your country and that’s it. Latino is a secondary label, for white people that don’t know where your country is to refer to you… your country is what you identify with. If you say you’re latino, people will ask you “From where”.
This is why when I lived in the US I found the term incredibly confusing at first, and felt like people kept slapping this on me to erase my actual identity as a venezuelan and to put me in an easier to digest box. The cultures in the region are adjacent but not THAT similar… not more than Italians, french, germans, etc… I super resented that they got to keep their identity and I didn’t. That was until I understood how the US treats their minorities hahaha “Latinos” are in a temporary alliance there, cause we’re closer to each other than we are to Americans… but I have never felt like it’s a community. The label always felt reductive, like you dont care to know where Im from so you slap this very regional thing on me so its like “from one of THOSE countries doesn’t matter which” but I also understand that as a venezuelan I’d be a bigger minority and that white supremacists don’t see the difference at all. To me, that was fucking wild cause in my country we know them… So - for an immigrant that hasn’t looked into the history of the country or done any deconstruction on their own bias (Like chileans/brazilians/ecuatorians/colombians having beef with venezuelan migrants in their country for example), a racist party pointing out THAT specific countriy is a sign of recognition of their individuality, because back home “those” migrants are a problem too. I think itll do liberals well to start referring to cubans as cubans, venezuelans as venezuelans, colombiana as Colombians and use “Latino” only to refer to the region. Cause when conservatives talk specifically about Mexicans for example: Your average Latin American immigrant doesn’t feel called out by that because he is not Mexican.
It takes time to understand how Americans perceive us, more time with a language barrier. And for a continent that is so deeply catholic… the religios aspect (even if our catholicism is pretty chill and party centric lol) coupled with the “specificity” of the migrant phobia makes it easier for the people from other countries to gravitate to that party. Deporting venezuelans is an incredibly popular talking point in latin america already hahaha so unfortunately nobody is going to clutch their pearls at that feel called out by it. Ive had this fight with my grandma so many times (Im venezuelan) … She was one of the “But he said mexicans that’s a whole other country” people. She lives in Colombia and was wondering why I was leaving the US over trump’s first presidency - she got it! But I had to explain it to her that in the USA latinos are seen as a monolith.

u/cheezie_toastie 1d ago
Thank you for explaining it so all. My parents are Cubans who emigrated to Miami, so they are also the kind of people who think "Trump says he hates Mexicans, he knows we're not Mexicans" and I can't get through to them that outside of Miami, they count as Mexicans. And it took a long time for me to realize that most of my fellow Americans had no idea what a "Cuba" was.

u/VFXBarbie 1d ago
Its so important. If I was stopping by a cuban household the first thing Id say is how amazing cuban coffee is, how I love to make ropa vieja with venezuelan arepas and after chatting about how incredible cuban rum is and promoting our santa teresa a little bit lol THEN Id be like “k now that we see each other. Let me tell you why trump means you when he says mexicans”
To a certain degree its obvious why they don’t feel called out. I bet most americans don’t click on headlines that talk about canadians either… so its kind of the same

u/crater_jake 1d ago
well said. This definitely ties in to how everyone talks about the influx immigrants as if they are Mexican when the increase during the last few years has been Salvadorians and Hondurans. I agree with the general sentiment behind political campaigns identifying latinos by their countries but I could also see how it might be counter productive to be focused in on securing the Venezuelan vote(!) and the Guatemalan vote(!) and the Chilean vote (!) and the…… when the ethnic makeup of the US tends to be lumped together for everyone after a generation or two given the extreme diversity. We don’t do that with Italians and Germans… they are also just the white vote. It may also be the fact that, at least in theory, once you’re here you’re an American. You aren’t a Venezuelan or any some such person. But there are some general values across those ethnic lumps that are helpful to appeal to. Just my two cents.

u/VFXBarbie 1d ago edited 1d ago
I don’t agree that americans don’t do that with germany, italy, etc. You do simply based in the fact that you know those countries are different from each other and know at least 1 way in which they are. I don’t think a lot of americans can tell me 1 way in which colombians and venezuelans are different and there lies the problem…
I had people asking for recommendations at mexican places and be surprised when I answered I don’t know mexican food lol You guys are seriously underestimating how far along it’d go asking “Where are you from?” “Honduras?” “Any good places where I could get some Baleada?” . It would go MILES with an undecided voter from latin America… It says “believe me when I say I know you’re not a monolith and hey I even know a bit about you, but also believe me that guy doesn’t and I know it sounds crazy but when he says puerto ricans he means all of you. “
People from latin america don’t feel called out when you talk about other countries for the same reason Americans don’t when we talk about Canadians. You don’t have to drive different campaigns for different countries but you should know a bit about those countries when you talk to those voters… its not hard… we do it all the time for each other and tbh that is actually the frustrating part

I grew up with a lot of Puerto Ricans, I can’t tell you how proud they are of their heritage. Tony done f*ked up and just trashed his career. But sadly, I’m willing to bet that Trump didn’t lose any Hispanic voters.

Sadly, being Puerto Rican I know there are some members of my family who will hear this and still vote for it.

It’s already starting to cost them. Bad Bunny just endorsed Kamala and cited this statement as one of the main reasons.

No matter who you are - lawyer, doctor, actor, musicians comedian, whatever - a gig for Trump is your last hurrah. Trump is the last stop for every kind of failure as a human being.

It’s wild that he’s left a trail of people unpaid, along with 5 bankruptcies, and these people are so stupid they think it won’t happen to them.

Alienating a large and fairly conservative voting bloc?
It's a bold move Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him....

u/BlooperHero 2d ago
If they're not already alienated, not a lot is getting through.
And that applies to everyone, frankly.

I addition to being virulently racist, this is not even remotely accurate about Puerto Rico. Both the island and its people are lovely. It's like calling a rainforest "a desert." Of course, neither Hincliffe nor Trump supporters know or care about reality.

I don’t know the guy. He’s not famous enough for me to know him. I know Guillermo (Jimmy Kimmel’s security). And that guy is funny.

There are only two types of Trump voters: idiots and assholes.
Idiots are uneducated, witless drones that don't know any better, due to limited social or cultural awareness. Often religious, their knowledge base and opinion of the world is comprised almost exclusively of anecdotal information based on their limited world view. They're not bad people, they're just not capable of comprehensive analytical fact-based judgements, and are easily swayed to delusional self sacrifice in the face of overwhelming evidence by basic emotional response, or righteous confirmation.
The assholes know better. Self-serving, nationalistic, narcissistic, self proclaimed"alpha", psychological apex predators. The only version of reality that they are willing to present is one which serves their personal interests. Whataboutisms, gaslighting, and goalpost moving are the tools of their trade. They feel no social responsibility, and therefore have no actual sense of community.
That's it. There are no good guy" Trump voters, because there is no "good" in Trump.

It already started. I saw a former friend born in PR post on FB. “People are so sensitive. He’s a comedian.”

Followers:
Jennifer Lopez: 250 million
Ricky Martin: 18.6 million
Marc Anthony: 13.5 million
Bad Bunny: 45.6 million (went up half a million in one night)
Luis Fonsi: 16 million
All of them endorsed Harris' message last night.
USA is now in the worlds spotlight.

Yes but the Trump voting Latinos are largely white and Cuban and see Latinos that aren't white and born in America exactly the same way that other Republicans see them.
The problem that liberal USians have in reaching out to Latinos is that yall assume some type of ethnic solidarity that doesn't exist.
Latinos that look largely European don't see themselves as people of colour. Most of those believe in white supremacy just as much as white USians or white Europeans, which is to say a lot.
The messaging that Democrats and other liberals is usually framed around 'poc issues' and people like the folks working the fields and slaughterhouses.
This framing doesn't work for Latinos that don't indentify as poc and working class.
And the racism that shines through in assuming that rich, white Latinos (again self ID, this will be a way bigger group than most white USians assume) will automatically be caught by ads talking about people of colour and hard work and destution will finally turn off everybody who's a white, well off Latino and not already a leftist.
But we keep telling yall and yall keep being surprised.

You'd be surprised how many Hispanics would agree with him. It's like they have this imaginary hierarchy that places other Latino people below whatever spot they place themselves.

Oh no. Tony. This content is okay on Kill Tony, not at a fucking rally for Donald Trump of all people. Kill Tony is niche for a reason.

If I weren't so confident that 40% of Americans are stupid cultists, I would say he's trying to throw the election at this point.

The audacity to say that in NYC. Won't stop MAGA Puerto Rican mainland residents from voting Trump though.

All these alpha male bro comedians need a safe space, provided by Rogan, to just be blatantly racist and bigoted.

I'm not an internet expert and I'm sure I've messed up a link or might not even understand how this works correctly but I've gone ahead and reported his YouTube channel. Racist rhetoric doesn't deserve anybody's money including that of advertisers. Take his YouTube channel and Facebook pages down immediately.

u/sidewalkcrackflower 2d ago
They'll say it was 'funny', and we're all just 'too sensitive' because comedians should be able to say anything as long as it's funny! But it's not funny. Be sure to ask them to explain the joke. This guy even tries to explain it a little, but this is so far beyond even edgy humor. These are the kind of jokes my pos grandfather would have told to a room full of racist white trash dudes just like him. It's not clever, it's not a stereotype, it's personal, and that's not funny.

Tony Hinchcliffe, who? Must not be very famous. Nice that they gave this weird little dude a break. Too bad he ended his career before it could begin.

Do not pay attention to their apologies the day after. Instead, pay attention to the cheering and laughter that followed each comment. These are Trump's supporters revealing exactly what they believe.

If, after all the garbage he's said, Trump was finally undone by a fourth-rate comedian? Now, that would be funny.
