According to CNN exit polling, New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D) won the support of 68% of Latino voters, while Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D) received 67% support from Latino voters.

The results mark a shift from just one year ago, when the voting bloc helped propel Trump to victory. Republicans say the time is now to course-correct ahead of next year’s midterms.

“Unfortunately Latinos are leaving the Republican Party after giving us a monumental chance in 2024,” said Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) in an video posted on the social platform X after Tuesday’s results. “In New Jersey and Virginia, Hispanics moved back more than 25 points to the Democratic Party.”

    Well that and about 4 other things. Off the top of my head I can list Boomers being vaguely fucked up because they were raised by PTSD riddled veterans who were not taken care of who also had the same exact issue, lead in fucking everything because why not, and also a continuous propaganda campaign going on fifty fucken years, and let’s just chuck cold war paranoia leading to the dumbest economic decisions possible. Honestly if I saw a mushroom cloud on the horizon I may actually think it’s a good thing, hell maybe we’d get lucky and trigger an ice age to stall global warming.
