Homie knows that he finna keep slipping in the karen burbs, and he tryna get the same valley swings like Trump among the mask hating mexicans to offset those losses. Purely political move.

Like srsly, I am pissed off rn, i see like 4 mexicans working in my next doors neighbors yard with 0 distance apart and no masks, those people hate masks, I am no longer surprised at all they swung like 30pts in the valley towards Trump

Ok so... Mexicans shouldn’t be blamed for Abbott’s dumb bitch decision and just because you saw four of them not wearing a mask one time, doesn’t mean they all hate it.

That's one piece of the puzzle. It's not a coincidence they swung massively towards trump almost everywhere

Nah. I think he's worried that the Biden Administration's COVID-19 response is going too well, so he and his fellow Republican governors have decided to kill a few hundred-thousand more of us to make Biden look bad.

hmm hadnt thought of it that way, that makes sense too.

I get your frustration...but think of how this sounds...
You can't base your beliefs of all Mexicans on four people.

It seems like more of an education divide, which would explain why those working blue collar jobs like that would be less likely to wear masks.

(FWIW I do think RGV Tejanos are swinging towards Trump partially due to anti-intellectualism (which I call dumb*ssery) similar to many other rural people such as WV)

dude, they swung massively towards trump, they are the most unmasked group I see, and I can pull up the stats, but they are contracting covid at a way higher per capita rate than even black people in dallas county. No bueno.

Stupidity and lack of empathy are the only two categories Republicans have room to grow with at this point. That's how they made gains in 2020.

These people hate masks, idk what their problem is, but somehow they are suffering way more than even black people.
