Ok, so here we are
again, handsomest
I'm gonna deliver a
reflection I tried to write months ago when I was reading the
most-voted comments on the Facebook page of Mr. Donald Trump. Not
gonna focus on him right now, rather in the fact that the most
“liked” comments were the kind of:
“Hello I'm
Margarita (or something like that – Mexican) and I'm voting for
Trump!”
#Trump2016 etc.
Hahahaha.
Ok, here goes the
thing.
It's basically a
Latina saying that she's going to vote for Trump. I brought on the
name of Margarita but could had used any kind of names like
“Jefferson Pérez”... I love such kind of names because though
they're sided by a utterly Spaniard surname they baptize their
children with the most “gringo-sounding-like” names, perhaps in a
cheap, though understandable attempt to make their social lives
easier, just because they're gonna feel different in the U.S. for a
lot of different reasons. I've been there as an immigrant in Spain
because I'm Cuban, though no one ever treated me bad or something I
mean it's completely different, what I'm trying to say is...
How do you vote for
Trump if his pillar politics is about building a freaking tall wall
to stop the incoming of more Mexicans and Latinos? Aren't you a
Latina too? I mean, you're supposed to support your race, so what the
heck?
I'm not saying Trump
is a bad guy or a good guy, in fact, this post isn't about him at
all, rather about the weird fact that so many latinos are going to
vote for him. I mean... c'mon. I don't see another point than the
following:
They (the Latinos
who are already living there no matter the way they entered the
country) are AFRAID of being kicked out in case Donald Trump wins the
elections, hence they're spitting to their own race and fellows
because they're now in a “save yourself” mentality. I think that
people like Margarita, Juan, Jose, Antonio, etc... all the Latinos
who are supporting Trump are actually afraid of him because they
figure, very superficially so far, but they figure that there's a
little chance about being sacked out of the country as well, because,
among other reasons, a huge pack of them are illegals. I know, I know
that Trump says always that he's against -illegal- “aliens” but,
c'mon, let's wear off our masks, people, he wants (I'm dead sure
about this) all the Latinos out, but again, I'm not attacking Trump,
it's not my bag, I'm just freaking out about how does it's possible
that the latinos living in the U.S are basically supporting a guy who
is against them.
At the highest peak
of the stupidity, I've meet (trough Facebook) a HUGE lot of Cubans
living in Miami who already have the citizenship planning to vote for
Trump even though both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have basically a
Cuban-Spaniard DNA flowing through their veins, so I don't understand
them. 95% or more of the Cubans living in the U.S, either first,
second, third or fourth generation arrived there as Aliens, and now
they're going to vote for a guy who is planning to stop the so called
Alien-invasion? It's just laughable. But I understand them, because
as I said before they're just afraid of being treated as who they're
all in all, Aliens too. Because, -maybe- they've been living in the
U.S for so long that they may think they're “gringos” too, but
they're not!
What I'm trying to
say is not that Trump is a bad or good guy not the Latinos are right
or wrong, what I'm saying is just... c'mon, don't attack your own
people. This is like if a building is burning and you kick your
fellows out and use their corpses to soften your own fall from the
top.
Ted Cruz isn't going to win the Republican one-to-one race against Trump for a lot of different reasons like, for example, the fact that he lacks the charisma of Trump and has a, not offense intended, too complicated speeches bias to access the majority of the population of the U.S. while Trump has more energy and charisma (things that equals to power in political fields) however he (Cruz) would be capable of -at least- fight against Hillary Clinton. If Donald Trump earns the Republican nomination... I'm not 100% sure his strategy will work against her. Anyway I hope Republicans win this time and, if possible, that Donald Trump gives a chance to his fellow Cruz as a vicepresident (assuming Cruz will accept a second-in-chief role).
