Latinos for Trump (But Make It Complicated)

Conversando de Pol ítica - https://www.conversandodepolitica.com/ --In this episode, Jacob sits down with Elohim Monard for a sharp, layered conversation about Hispanic support for Trump, the politics of deportation, and how authoritarianism creeps in under the banner of law and order. They talk about prisons as geopolitical tools, from El Salvador’s extreme model to France’s cocaine-fueled chaos, and whether Trump’s policies are building a regime of fear among immigrants and international students. Elohim brings the receipts, the nuance, and the global view. They also get into AI, startup governments, and why the next global threat may be the hyper-globalization of organized crime.
