Cubans in Florida pushing for Trump was not on my bingo card, for sure.
I also remember seeing “general chat lobby” spammers switching from the boilerplate racism tropes to Portuguese and learning about Brazilian troll farms.
A lot of Miami-based Cubans are VERY anti anything socialist/communist. All you’ve really got to do is say you’re fighting “those socialists trying to take over” and it’s a tragically easy way to win that vote.

A lot of the established Cuban community in Miami are the children of wealthy Cubans who fled during the revolution. So yeah they fled communism but maybe not for the reason you meant.

They fled from a country that’s been communist for over 60 years and they’re not big fans of communism you say? Weird.

I witnessed the dangers of authoritarism, so I’m going to vote for… the most authoritarian douche that I can find"
Honestly I think it’s time to stop pretending they are poor refugees and treat them as the fascist assholes they really are.
They fled Cuba after Bastilles fall and Cubas oppression from the communists so it makes some, unfortunate, sense that they support the orange man.
It was Batista, not Bastille, which is the famous French prison.
You mean they were fired out of Cuba on Ballistas?
Eh, close enough
