Cubans in America have so completely been brainwashed. My mom is 71 and still thinks if she went home to visit, they'd arrest her for stepping on Cuban soil. Despite the fact that many of my cousins have gone back and come home safely. She left Cuba when she was 5.
My cousins and extended family have voted republican their whole lives despite being considered nothing more than "the help" by Republicans, as well as a convenient voting block that SHOULD be voting for their best interests, instead turning and holding Florida a perpetual red state.
Propaganda and misinformation from 64 years ago, the Bay of Pigs, associated Kennedy and the Dems as enemies of Cubans. None of my idiot people bother to look deeper to see that the congressional branch was held by the GOP at the time and pulled support from Kennedy, leaving the freedom fighters of that operation high and dry... (my grandma was so fond of reminding me that my cousin Abelardo was captured).
So, while I take your meaning fully, it is absurdists like this judge who have a voice on television that perpetuate this fear. Despite the Cubans thinking Dems are socialists and will turn our country into a dictatorship, they vote for people like Trump who actually are doing it.
Fuck the idiotic people of my heritage. We have good music, food, and butts, but no brains.
Hey man, I’m an Appalachian hillbilly. I’m right there with you. My people actually busted their asses to win union representation, fought and died for it, killed their opposition in the streets.
Nowadays they’re licking boots and voting roughly 90% for republicans who lie and tell them that coal can come back.
If their grandparents knew that they’d turned to suck the cocks of the coal bosses they’d rise from their graves and gun them down.
We’ve not only been left to rot, but actively participated in covering ourselves in shit and now we’re letting the maggots feast on our flesh.
I understand your frustration.
We have great music, great food, flat asses, and no brains.
