Trump flipped five overwhelmingly Hispanic border counties despite bipartisan claims his rhetoric would alienate them
President Trump flipped five Hispanic majority Texas counties during the 2020 election, including a 94% Hispanic county that hadn’t voted for a Republican since 1920.
Trump's gains in Hispanic counties were not limited to the five he flipped. Twelve other majority-Hispanic counties that Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly won in 2016 saw Trump make double-digit gains in 2020. Clinton won Starr County, which has a 96.4% Hispanic population, by 60.2 points in 2016. Trump lost Starr county by only 5 points in 2020, a whopping 55.2 point swing. Maverick County, a 95.1% Hispanic county Clinton won by 55.8 points in 2016, went to presumed President-elect Joe Biden by just 9.4 points — a 46.4 point swing toward Trump.
It's become pretty common these days for media outlets reporting on such matters as death-by-tweet, to refer to whatever the accused had actually said or written merely as "offensive comments" or "an attack upon..." and never actually report the actual thing which was said.
That leaves people like me, who don't vigilantly monitor Twitter, having no idea what statements were actually made. Their expurgation means that they are effectively gone from history, and we can only rely upon the assertion of the gatekeepers that they were, in fact, sufficiently horrendous as to justify the cancellation of the alleged offender.

I know. I'm just a bit pessimistic. Maybe Trump is lucky if he has to sit out a term. I believe we will have a recession and biden will be lost. He and obama where the do nothing crew completely incompetent then and now. Biden is too old and will be that much worse in 4yrs. I doubt he will be the dnc's nomination in 2024. If Trump runs again he would easily win.
unless you believe governments are perfect, without fraud and abuse -- especially when implementing a last-minute easily manipulated method of voting without audit or error checking...
cause the fed itself didn't mail 1.1 million stimulus checks to dead people or anything [only recovering about 70% of it] ...
