Offending Puerto Ricans politically speaking does not affect whatsoever on the election, Puerto Ricans are Democrats. The Democrat Party trying to stir up chaos is silly; these votes are already gone from the Republican Party. Strictly speaking, who gives a damn some unknown comic made a joke about Puerto Rico and its garbage problem. At least the comic knew there was a problem, most people are unaware of this trash situation on the island.

Puerto Ricans and other Latino groups in the United States often show distinct voting patterns, influenced by their unique historical and political backgrounds. Puerto Ricans have historically leaned toward the Democratic Party, while Latinos from socialist, communist, or authoritarian countries, such as Cubans, Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans, are often more inclined to support Republicans. Each group’s experiences and perceptions about U.S. policies have shaped their voting tendencies in unique ways for decades now. Puerto Ricans have traditionally supported the Democratic Party, influenced by economic issues, civil rights, and the incestuous relationship with the U.S. government. The Democratic Party has been known for its policies advocating for social welfare programs and economic reforms that align closely with the wants of Puerto Rican communities, both on the island and the mainland.

Since Puerto Rico struggles with high poverty rates and economic instability, Democratic stances on healthcare, welfare, and employment resonate with Puerto Rican voters. Puerto Ricans have an affinity for the cradle-to-grave nanny state the Democrat Party offers. The U.S. government’s role in Puerto Rico’s infrastructure, such as its response to Hurricane Maria and aid provisions, has also affected Puerto Rican views. The Democrats and their media whores painted Trump as uncaring during Hurricane Maria. Ironically, they are currently failing in the Hurricane response with Helene and Milton. You couldn’t make this stuff up.

In contrast, other Latino groups from authoritarian regimes in Latin America tend to vote Republican. For example, Cuban Americans, many of whom fled Fidel Castro’s communist regime, have historically associated Democrat policies with socialism or big government. The Cuban American exile experience has left a strong legacy of distrust toward policies perceived as left-leaning, and this has translated into support for the Republican Party, which is seen as advocating for free-market capitalism, individual liberties, and strong opposition to socialist ideals. Puerto Ricans have lived under the umbrella of the U.S. feeding off the mother’s milk of taxpayer money, so they have a different view of the two parties.

Venezuelan and Nicaraguan communities, who fled socialist or authoritarian rule, share similar views. The Republican stance against socialism appeals to these voters, who are wary of policies that could, in their view, potentially lead to the same conditions they left behind. Moreover, the Republican Party’s strong stance on issues such as business-friendly policies, lower taxes, and conservative social values aligns with many immigrant families’ priorities around self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and family values.

In regions with significant populations from these backgrounds, Republican candidates often emphasize anti-socialism, limited government, and opposition to certain progressive policies, creating a sense of ideological alignment with immigrants who left socialist or authoritarian states. In essence, the voting patterns among Latino groups vary based on their unique historical experiences and perspectives on government. Puerto Ricans’ Democratic alignment largely stems from a focus on social services, civil rights, and their relationship with the U.S. feeding on taxpayers’ grace.

Meanwhile, other Latino groups from authoritarian or socialist regimes are more likely to vote Republican, seeking to prevent a perceived repetition of the policies they opposed in their home countries. The diversity within the Latino voting bloc highlights the complexity of U.S. electoral dynamics and challenges the assumption of a monolithic Latino voting behavior. Democrats trying to make hay with Puerto Ricans has their closing message for the election is a waste of time, they are singing to the choir. The Democrat Party flat-out lied to America, they are no longer middle-of-the-road moderates, and they are blazing left-wing lunatics now. The middle lost all of the control over their Party and that attracts some Latinos and repels most of the others.
