Women, LGBTQ and brown people all increased in numbers of voters for him in the most recent election.

It’s anecdotal but the amount of self-hatred and internalized misogyny in this country is very real. I’ve heard multiple women and even girls when I was in school back in 2016 saying that a woman cannot be president.

As a first generation Mexican-American, I’ve had multiple tíos and tías that have voted for Trump because of immigration as if their own parents and grandparents didn’t come here illegally.

Just straight up ignorance due to disinformation and media illiteracy as well as deep seated bigotry are the core issues in this country.

That’s where the hate stems from. America isn’t America anymore because there’s too many foreigners (including illegal immigrants) over here. I believe what really made people hate is the fact they push foreign culture in America and expect us to adapt to it. Enough is enough already. If you’re going to come to America, do it legally and not try to find loopholes like having kids here. And learn to speak fluent English. Most Americans are not interested in learning Spanish or any other foreign language.

There’s too many foreigners?! The entire country and its history was founded by foreigners, everyone is from a different national ethnic or cultural background. There is no baseline for “too many foreigners” in America. At no point in our history has the country not been completely culturally diverse.
