You reject your old, loyal dorky friends (even if you relate to them more) because you don't want to be associated with the shunned, and you don't want to go back to being rejected yourself. It's a type of colonized self hatred that I think every minority deals with.

My thread was some thoughts on why *any* would vote for tr*mp. Okay. Good day. https://www.vox.com/21549607/latino-hispanic-vote-2020-trump-biden-arizona-florida
Hispanic voters helped decide the election — and not just in Miami-Dade

The contests in Arizona, Texas, Nevada, and Wisconsin also hinged on Hispanic voters.
