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.

    Per op, machismo would be why you vote for mobsters. That having been said I know nothing on the subject, just correcting your obvious logical fault.

      That’s not a logical fault, you just don’t understand what machismo means. It’s specifically referring to a gendered attitude that emphasies male strength and leadership. The idea that mobs are macho and Mexican men are macho but that contributed to the election of a woman is normally the kind of drivel only head injuries and drugs can produce.
