Summary

Latino men played a key role in Donald Trump’s election victory, with 43-55% supporting him, drawn by promises of economic relief, job opportunities, and small business support.

Despite higher workforce participation, many Latino men face wage gaps, dangerous jobs, and lower educational attainment compared to other groups.

Some prioritize trade skills or entrepreneurship over college, seeking practical returns on investment.

Experts highlight the need for policies addressing economic barriers, job training, and health coverage to sustain their support.

Future voting will depend on whether these voters see tangible progress in achieving the American Dream.

      No? It’s a specific attitude among the latino community that extends beyond just misogyny

        I’m Latino too, and I agree. Misogyny is a big part, but machismo also covers a specific cultural, historical and toxic attitude between Hispanic men too.

      Lol. Latino countries elect women as presidents all the time. The US NEVER votes for women, even when they’re running against a disgusting rapist. Looking at the statistics it’s always white people stopping women from being elected. But it’s the Latino minority who are misogynist?

      Wild reach! That’s some massive prejudice you’ve got under the hood there.
