The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Add to that assessment the 14% of the US voters that are latinos who voted for trump because many are (and.or) Catholic anti-gay/anti-abortion, macho males"

That matches up spot-on with about 3/4 of the Latino's I grew up with.

Went to school with a lot of them, met others as an adult.
One of my Mexican-American friends became a UAW auto worker later in life.
In 2016, at a campaign speech in metro Detroit, Trump stated that the domestic auto manufacturers should ship their jobs south of the border, if the UAW workers carried out their threats to go on strike. Had a conversation with my friend about it, pointing out that Trump basically said screw you, UAW Member. I pointed out how this gives GM leverage over the UAW, if Trump were to be elected. I pointed out how this would lead to less
job security for the UAW.

And none of that mattered, my friend, and a whole lot of other UAW members,
were all in on Trump. My friend said there was no way in hell he could vote for a woman ( HRC ).

( I also have some Latino acquaintances who despise Trump )
