        Oh absolutely. I can see it happening for sure. But did it? Is this real?

        I’m thinking it’s not. Just a goof being presented as a real thing.

      The number of people in my town that think our language is American, Mexicans speak Mexican, all Asian people are Chinese, and any random combination of cities/countries are part of the United States makes this very plausible.

            Sure, but we’ve been in this timeline since the Escalator Ride to Hell so it’s not, like, that unusual.

        and any random combination of cities/countries are part of the United States

        You do have a few Saint-Petersburgs, right? And Athens? And Cairos?

        that think our language is American,

        Similar to Russia then.

        Mexicans speak Mexican,

        Similar to Russia then.

        all Asian people are Chinese,

        Still similar to Russia.

        Like you could say American is a sub dialect of English with it further broken down into accents. But I doubt most folks think of it that way, especially folks who say “I speak American” outside of an argument with the English.

        Democrats are much more likely to have a Spanish speaker on staff at all levels. They are a more diverse bunch. Republicans, many from southern states will speak some Spanish, more so than northern white democrats. But, they are more likely to he a white only staff at each level, so nobody would pick up on it.

        This is part of the reason diversity is important. It will be self evident to some people that things are not right, whereas those in a different world won’t even notice.

        Latinos themselves are not a very cohesive group.

        Many are die-hard Catholics. Many fled from Cuba and will vote against anything that looks like communism.

        But that’s far from all Latinos, or even all Cuban immigrants.

        It’s important to not lump everyone together.

            It’s truly perplexing why most these people would vote for the guy. Or even donate to his political campaign since he brags about not needing donations…(and his lawyers fees… yesh.)

        With the Hispanic people I know that prefer Trump, it’s the usual trumpist/Republican reasoning. Even down to anti-immigration, from a person who’s father was an undocumented immigrant. Propaganda and desire to be in the in-group among your peers is wild.

    Honestly it’s completely readable as someone who can understand Spanish, but it feels otherworldly for some reason, like I’m reading a quite not right version of Spanish, like reading Afrikaans to a Dutch speaker.

    I bet this was some sort of gen AI mishap: “translate this campaign text to Latin”, because of course Latinos speak Latin, and it’s called Latin America too!

      Anyways, this reminds me when the series Homeland filmed at a location that was supposed to be a syrian refugee camp and hired arab speaking graffiti artists to “add authenticity” and they wrote things like “Homeland is racist” and “BlackLivesMatter” and shit like it instead of the requested “Pro -Assad” messages… https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/oct/15/homeland-is-racist-artists-subversive-graffiti-tv-show
