Cranky old white guys hate immigrants because it easy to make them the out group, and all their cranky old white guy friends do it too. They never have and never will put any real thought into it.

Yes, people of color are scary and very dangerous!
Welfare queens!
I feel so fortunate to not have anyone whoās close to me and that I genuinely care about be a deplorable. Iād like to think Iād disown them, but I realize thatās much easier said than done
Every time I see a photo of these ā15 boxesā thereās like 80 boxes

That sounds word for word like something Iād have said about two days ago.
Iām on good enough speaking terms with plenty of deplorables who are comfortable saying the quiet parts out loud in front of me. Iāve never heard any of them talk about immigration or budget policy on a wonkish level. Like not once, ever. Itās always fear of Hispanics overtaking āusā (aka whites), blacks murdering innocent whites and getting welfare checks, and China ācontrolling us.ā All of the grievances are structured on top of those things. White nationalist hegemony STILL THE CHAMPS bullshit.

Iām going to marry an immigrant, and someday have biracial kids. She and they will deal with a lot of shit in their lives, I canāt prevent most of it, but Iām not going to make them deal with it from my father.
Yeah he never gets wonkish, itās always about welfare and national security/crime. Itās never about them overtaking us or whites being a minority. But he probably knows if he said that to my face thatād be it for us being on good terms.
Personally? Not that Iām aware of. Obviously they exist. Itās not a conversation I think Iāve ever had with any of the non-white people I know, and I assume thatās because itās not exactly a top-of-the-list conversation any of us are looking to have, whereas a reliable trait of deplorables is that they actively try to steer the conversation into all of these stupid fucking grievances. Iāve had strung out Karens approach me public to ask me shit like ArEnāT U aFrAiD oF tHe CaRaVaNs??!? completely out of the blue.

The white majority stuff is complete bullshit. The only hispanics who arenāt white for all purposes are first generation immigrants with limited english.

I think this is one of those situational dependent things that only people in direct contact will figure out whatās best for them
in some cases they disown you first anyway

I have actually noticed the opposite a couple of times. Within a half hour of mentioning the PPP loans they took, the conversation will move to some other topic and they will complain about someone else getting a different type of government assistance.
My theory is that a lot of the papers Trump kept were bragging materials that he was using primarily to show off but might also contain incidental stuff that the Security folks didnāt want him just flashing around willy nilly
