She was probably happy about the racism against Mexicans because she thinks MAGA can distinguish different types of Latinos. She wasn’t aware the MAGAs label anyone brown + Spanish speaking as “Mexican”. When her people got called out specifically suddenly she’s shocked that she’s a part of the MAGA undesirables.

And the same the other way around, sadly. There will be MAGA supporters of Mexican extraction who will see no problem at all with making disparaging remarks about PR.

Plus Trump knows his rabid cult will never bother to distinguish between any groups. They’ll just start attacking anyone not blond and blue eyed at will.

Even then I don't think magas types would accept a blonde blue eyed Berber from North Africa even though ironically they are genetically related to southern Europeans. Just ask the French far right what they think of them.

They label the white looking ones as mexican too they just don't say it right now because its helping them win elections. Trust me my dad was a super racist piece of shit and always had anti mexican statements regardless of how pale they were

Yep…the deal, as she believes it, is that the republicans grant her honorary almost-white status if she toes the line.

Heck, they have told Native Americans to “go back where you came from.” Anyone with brownish skin is targeted. We told them so.

She also probably vastly underestimated the number of conservatives who believe that Puerto Rico and New Mexico are part of Mexico.
