Apparently we were the racists for warning them what the GOP really meant.

Well, you see, liberals using the word “latinx” in a misguided attempt to be inclusive is obviously racist, so therefore it makes perfect logical sense to vote for the rich white guy who generalized all Latinos as rapists and is threatening to deport them all and take away their citizenship. (Obvious /s)

And this is just another example of something that liberals weren't actually doing - just something right wing talking heads said we were.

Like, I remember a bare handful of people (all Hispanic themselves) using this term when it first emerged a few years ago, and then stopped when it didn't take off. Certainly no democratic politicians were using it.
