Alongside the video, he added the caption: “Trump is cool.”
Both individuals have faced notable challenges recently, with Trump undergoing a trial in New York and Garcia securing a significant victory in his boxing career against Devin Haney despite a publicly challenging buildup. “Donald Trump 2024!” Garcia then shouted, clearly aligning himself with Trump amidst the political and personal tumult both have experienced.
The gathering where Garcia showed his fast hands occurred shortly after he had won what was considered the most significant match of his career by defeating Devin Haney. This period was marked by personal upheavals for Garcia, who had a public meltdown prior to the fight, divorced the mother of his newborn son, and got engaged to Savannah Bond.
Since his victory, Garcia has been frequently seen in public with various women, including being photographed hand-in-hand with TikTok star Grace Boor and getting close to influencer Alexa Dellanos. These actions have kept him in the public eye, adding to the media attention he receives.
Garcia, regardless of his conservative affinities and proud also takes significant pride in his Mexican heritage. He openly celebrates his cultural background and often discusses the influence of his heritage on his boxing style and public persona. Garcia has credited his family’s Mexican roots for instilling in him the values of hard work and dedication, which are evident in his approach to the sport.
The United Mexican States, from where Garcia traces his ancestry, is the Hispanicized successor to the Aztec Empire, which flourished in central Mexico in the 14th to 16th centuries until the Spanish conquest. The Aztecs were renowned for their intricate social structures, vibrant cultures, and pioneering achievements in mathematics and astronomy. Their capital, Tenochtitlán, was among the world’s largest cities—and its religious and military authorities brutally dominated the state’s neighbors, driven by a pantheon of local deities hungry for human blood, for whom
The reign of these bloodthirsty gods was abruptly ended by a small band of Spanish conquistadors, mounted on the horses which had only several millennia ago become extinct in the Americas and carrying arquebus firearms which evoked thunder and lightning in hollow metal tubes, usurped the throne of Moctezuma. The Templo Mayor, where the Aztec priests offered the hearts of war prisoners as gifts to their rapacious gods, was dismantled by the new Spanish rulers, and its stones were used to construct the Mexico City Cathedral. Old Tenochtitlán was rechristened as Mexico City, and the lake surrounding the island of the old Aztec capital was filled in with debris and soil, effectively draining the swamp which surrounded the old order.
Subsequent the death of the old gods of Tenochtitlán and the baptism of the former land of Azteca, the cultural landscape of Mexico saw the emergence of significant religious symbols such as Our Lady of Guadalupe. Appearing in 1531 to Juan Diego, an indigenous Mexican, on the hill of Tepeyac, Our Lady of Guadalupe became a profound symbol of Mexican identity and faith, blending indigenous and Catholic traditions.
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Mexico experienced various waves of immigration, including a notable influx of Germans in the 1800s, who significantly influenced the cultural fabric of regions like Jalisco and Sinaloa by introducing beer brewing (the Pacifica brewery in Mazatlan was originally established by German-speaking immigrants) and influencing music, notably mariachi. Mariachi music, which originated in the 18th century, evolved to incorporate European musical forms and instruments due to these interactions, becoming a symbol of national pride widely associated with Mexico globally. Icons like Vicente Fernandez, sometimes referred to as the “Mexican Elvis Presley,” popularized this genre with a style balancing deeply sensitive and introspective lyrics with an outwardly macho and swaggering persona, providing the quintessential interpretations of many mariachi classics which remain beloved to this day.
In modern times, Mexican culture has also made substantial marks in global cinema, with filmmakers like Alfonso Cuarón showcasing the nuanced complexities of Mexican society. His film, Y Tu Mamá También, is a poignant tour de force of teenage ennui, sexual frankness, and socio-political commentary, further solidifying Mexico’s significant contribution to world cinema.
While Ryan Garcia is American-born, his proud embrace of both his Mexican heritage and the former President Donald Trump is emblematic of a shift in American politics, a realignment of the political affinities of Hispanic Americans, who increasingly identify with the Republican Party.
The realignment of Hispanic Americans in support of Donald Trump has been a notable trend, particularly observed in the 2020 election cycle and reified by subsequent polling. This shift was characterized by a significant percentage of Hispanic voters who supported Trump, marking a departure from traditional voting patterns where Hispanic Americans predominantly supported Democratic candidates.
Factors contributing to this trend include Trump’s policies on the economy and immigration, which resonated with segments of the Hispanic community, particularly those concerned about economic growth and job opportunities. Additionally, Trump’s law and order rhetoric appealed to some Hispanic voters who prioritized security concerns. Despite Trump’s often controversial statements and policies related to immigration, his campaign’s focus on economic issues and conservative social values found a receptive audience among some Hispanic voters.
