The Rise of Conservative Latinos

There has been a notable shift among American Latinos towards the far-right political spectrum, which includes extreme figures such as Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys and Mauricio Garcia, a neo-Nazi sympathizer. This political transformation contradicts traditional perceptions of Latino voters, who were previously seen as aligned with the Democratic Party. Instead, many Latinos are embracing ideologies that align more closely with Trumpism and conservative values. This evolution is evidenced by many Latinos within families and communities shifting from political apathy to actively participating in right-wing rallies and advocacy.
