I am reminded of the Mexican dude I used to work with who was a huge Trump supporter and would refer to other Mexicans as wetbacks and say shit like “send them back.” Always had me like “bro, you know he’d deport your ass, too, right?”
There are a surprising number of Latino Americans who are pro-Trump who don’t seem to realize what will happen if Project 2025 is implemented and they’re out somewhere without the “proper” paperwork.
I’ve been able to convince a few of them to not vote for the orange asshole by passing them along this pic and link to Project 2025’s PDF. All it took for one was the mention of abortion rights being curtailed to change her opinion. A lot of people don’t bother learning about policy and that just makes them gravitate toward whoever appears to be “strong” or “righteous”.
You might also send some people this. There are a lot of Latino veterans.
At first, I thought the phenomenon had to do with religion. My opinion changed after 2020 as Biden is Catholic, so that no longer tracks. Nowadays, I’m starting to think it has more to do with machismo culture.
Plenty of them can. They just don’t realize what will happen to them if Trump wins and they happen to get on the wrong side of a cop who doesn’t like how brown their skin is.
Like the freaking MAGAts will bother with details like that: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/guardian-angels-rough-up-man-in-times-square-misidentify-him-as-a-migrant-on-live-tv/5118186/
Didn’t understand everything but “no mas naranja” was funny
“Fuck you, MAGA assholes*. No more orange 2024.”
*pendejo, as a slang word, is not directly translatable but the equivalent of ‘asshole.’
I always thought pendejo was similar to dickhead. I first remember hearing it in GTA San Andreas and I think they had a translation in the subtitles. I think. It’s been a minute.
Is there a functional distinction between “asshole” and “dickhead” that I’ve never been familiar with despite being a native English speaker?
I also first heard it in San Andreas. The way I remember it, one of the Latino gangsters calls you or big smoke a pendejo and I think the guy responds with “who are you calling a dickhead?!” Or something.
So it gets translated, but indirectly, which I think is cool.
Chinga tu MAGA: Variant of Cinga tu madre, “fuck your mother”
Pendejo: asshole, dickhead, dumbass. SUPER versatile personal insult.
No mas naranja: no more orange
Thank you! Google translate was not helpful
I’ve always heard pendejo as “idiot” but ruder.
Pendejo is a word you feel moreso than you translate. “Idiot, but ruder” certainly falls under its umbrella.
“chinga tu maga” is great
The translation I did
Spanish: chinga tu maga pendejo no mas naranja
English: fuck your magician asshole no more orange
Ay guey I fucking love this, but not $60 love it.
Ouch. That’s how much it costs? Yeah, I don’t blame you. You could probably get it made custom for $20.
The average maga can’t even pronounce quesadilla this sign will unfortunately accomplish nothing.
Believe it or not, some Latinos are going to vote for him. This sign is far from pointless
Maybe it is to get non Maga people to actually vote. You know, so the Naranja doesn’t win from gerrymandring
Note as a non-Spanish speaker I don’t understand the first word
Ahhhh thanks for that! “chinga tu maga” then right?
I don’t speak much Spanish so I was struggling to figure out what that first word was assuming it was all one word lol
