There are large number of Puerto Ricans in many swing states (+ important downballot races), and Republicans have been trying to court their vote. This isn't doing them any favors
Peurto Ricans by state
Pennsylvania: 450k
North Carolina: 100k
Wisconsin: 65k
Michigan: 50k
Florida: 1.1 million
New York: 1 million
It doesn't even have to change minds all that much to matter. If any trump-leaning Puerto Ricans just don't turnout, it matters a lot
Of course I hope you are right, but if after the past decade and everything that has happened, that has been said, this election seems to be in a dead heat instead of Harris/Waltz winning by anything other than a landslide, I hold no illusions about the intelligence and decency of the "average" american voter, these people are already dead inside, or at least not too far removed from illiterate medieval peasants, easily dazzled by bullshit and god-kings with magic political wands... abraca-fucking-dabra.
