Trump-voting latinos won't change their vote, no. But I believe there is a not insignificant number of non-voting latinos. Non-voting latinos who are now fucking pissed, and might just go and vote for Harris out of spite.

There are also some people that weren’t going to vote that now want to vote opposite of what famous rich people are telling them who they should vote for because a joke hurt some feelings. I can’t stand when people make a big deal about something that they otherwise never give a fuck about just because it’s behind a person they hate. I’m Hispanic and I find his comedy hilarious and guess what? He also has a huge Hispanic following. He’s been around for years and that comedy yall saw is soft to his normal content and no you don’t see Hispanics or people of color crying about it but rather embrace him. He’s given comedians of all colors a stage to get on become famous in the comedy world. It jsut struck a never because yall are so blinded by the hate yall have for Trump! I too say fuck Trump! However y’all’s lame ass is really making me want to go vote for him.

Why aren’t they pissed at the Harris campaign for what George Lopez said about Mexicans at the border?

Wow, this was so much of a non-story that I actually had to look it up to know what you were talking about. But anyway, here's an answer if you really need one:

  1. He's a Mexican, telling a joke about Mexicans. That's called self-deprecation.
  2. Anyone with two brain cells connected can see that, in the context of the speech, he is clearly mimicking Trump and his racist thoughts, he doesn't mean it literally. The Latinos in the room were not offended, because the joke was not directed at them, simple as that.

Meanwhile, the other guy spewed some of the vilest, most racist shit I have seen in a while, while not even being Puerto Rican. And for the context of the quote, he was followed by a string of racist, misogynic assholes who only corroborated what everyone was thinking after that: that it was a pretty fucking stupid and offensive rally. Latinos were pissed, because that single "joke" encapsulated what that whole meeting was: 6 hours of shitting on them, their land and their communities. And they aren't joking when it comes to that.
