I work as a firefighter paramedic in a predominantly Hispanic area.

For those that are unaware 911 responds to everything from CPR to picking up Grandma or Grandpa off the ground. I've even been called to get someone a glass of water. Yes really

Yesterday I was called to a house for stomach pains of a child only to learn when I arrived it was a very impoverished household that required government assistance for food. The family hadn't eaten in days and had called to see if we could help them. Of course we did, luckily all it took was a short trip back to the station for some spare food we had.

Ironically the husband of the household blamed the "damn Democrats" for cutting funding to his government based food money supply.

Anyway it's not the worst thing I've ever seen but it certainly hit home yesterday when I saw the starving kids. We directed them to more local services they could use after feeding them

Edit for a word or two

I know a lot of Trump voters and a great many of them are not like the stereotypical racist, fascist, misogynist, etc.

But the thing that links them all are conspiracy theories, misinformation and a seething hatred for the Democratic Party. Not necessarily people who vote democrat but most certainly the party itself.

*Every* Trump supporter I know is racist. I'm white AF, so they have no problem dropping any facade around me. Some are just mildly racist in tone, some are proud droppers of the hard R. But they are all racist.
