How Latino anger about Trump has led to greater political action.
USApp-American Politics and Policy Blog.
During the 2016 election campaign, one of Donald Trump's main platforms was to attack Mexicans and immigrants. In new research, Angela Gutierrez, Angela X. Ocampo, and co-authors find that these attacks meant that Latinos were more likely to feel solidarity with immigrants and therefore feel angry at Trump during the election. Since the election, these Latino voters have channeled their anger into greater levels of political activity, such as donating to campaigns and protests.
