Another thing that bothers me about the whole “they got what they voted for” when it comes to Latinos: it furthers the idea that most Latino men voted for Trump (statistics vary about the men; Latinas went majority for Harris) and were therefore THE defining vote that cinched the election for Trump. Except if they had all voted for Harris, Trump still would have won because of his overwhelming support among white voters. Just another way to place the blame on anyone except them
Oh absolutely. That focus also adds to the schadenfreude coverage of it all. Because if "they" were "the" defining vote (no), now no one should feel too bad about them "getting what's coming to them" because "they" put all of us in this mess (again, no)
