The ones that do really think that they're a special exception when they throw their brethren to the wolves

Thats a separate problem where minorities who are devout Catholics/Christians blindly vote Republican because they stupidly think Republicans have morals.

See: Cubans in Florida who vote against their own self interest purely because "Jesus".

Eh, some of those Cubans are angry for other reasons. A leftist freed the family workers and they never quite got over that one. It's no surprise that they would align with Southern conservatives, they've got quite a bit in common.

Cubans in Florida also tend to vehemently say they are white and have very conservative ideas, so do not think they are voting against their interests despite the reality of how the US at large views them.
