My authoritative take on the whole "Latino men supported Trump" is that it exposed that Latino men are actually a collection of highly diverse groups originally from Latin America masquerading as a single "ethnic" bloc.
Super Catholic Latinos of a mostly-Spanish ancestry have very little in common with Black "Latinos" or "Latinos" of a mostly Indigenous ancestry who might have only been speaking Spanish for a generation or two.
Forcing all of these different groups under one label ignores the obvious: they don't share the same history, culture, or political aspirations. And when they do align, it's often due to the colonial histories imposed on them, rather than any inherent unity.
Except misogyny. That's pretty much a universal for all men.
