Sorry, I’m a latino, Mexicano, living in México, so I don’t really have the slightest idea of how did this happen. Can someone give it a try?
EDIT: While I appreciate all of your replies, I’m even more confused as I see people mentioning “hispanic americans” as a synonym for “latino”. This was an interesting read about the confusion. However, the reasons seem to be addressed against Hispanic Americans, but the meme os against Latinos. It feels a bit artificial or even prejudicial. Sorry for this edit, I’m not really sure about what I’m trying to say.
Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don’t see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don’t feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.
Why doesn’t working class matter? Because such people generally aren’t as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.

If only there was a party that had education about policies part of their ideology.
Mexico has been a tidal wave of leftist political energy. Its so funny to hear Mayo Americans complain about electing one of their own, after they turned out in droves for him.

Hispanic Americans overwhelmingly voted to pull the ladder up behind them

Mayo Americans? Was that an autocorrect error or am I missing something?
