“The result is the biggest post-election question in U.S. politics: What happened? How did Trump post solid numbers with a group he “should” have done poorly with?”

The answer? Easy: faulty assumption.
The assumption was Hispanics had the same feels about poor Hispanics flooding into the country as white liberals do.
It should have been an easy assumption to reject at the outset, for the simple reason many poor Hispanic *citizens* are adversely affected by lax border policies for the simple matter that poor Hispanic non-citizens are coming here taking their jobs, bringing crime to poor Hispanic communities and etc.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
That's how I feel. The loser slunk away in disgrace. He had his social media accounts banned. His neighbors can't stand him badly enough that they are suing to kick him off of his own property. His presidency was undone in 24 hours. He was impeached twice and is widely regarded across the entire world as the worst American president in history. Trump was a blip (and a blimp) and is now irrelevant.

Hello Cypress,
Music to my ears:
"All day Wednesday, there was a sense of lightness in the air as political opponents went out of their way to be courteous to one another, perhaps out of respect for Biden's call for an end to the "uncivil war" of modern politics." (from the OP link)

61, Trump nationally won about 32% of the Latino vote, Biden nationally won about 66%.
66 to 32 is a blowout by any measure of electoral accounting, and Trump's 32% is only an average Republican national performance with Hispanics over the last 30 years.

All of that is true, but I also don't think Trump created much new hate and division that wasn't always there anyway. All of these racists and terrible people were always racist and terrible. It's just that they were forced to stay in their closets for a few decades. That's why they waged war against "PC culture". They thought it was unfair and felt victimized that they weren't allowed to be racist and terrible in public. All Trump really did was come along and say, "You poor, white, undereducated, racist bigots have been victims for so long. Go ahead and act like complete assholes in public as if this was the 1950s." And so they did. The people who support(ed) Trump cannot be rehabilitated. They're lost causes. The best we can do is to push them back into their closets so that they once again feel ashamed to express their darkest thoughts in public.
