I can’t get over Cuban-Americans who voted for the orange felon now seeing in real time that he’s stripping legal status from them and their families. Enjoy your vote.

We should welcome those who realize they were told lies by the convicted felonx34 and adjudicated rapist and welcome them. As for the other MAGATS fuck'em
Before we get all up in our Schadenfreude about this, a “friendly” reminder that Latinos and even Cubans are not one voting bloc.
As others have commented — Cubans that came to the U.S. at the beginning of our intervention with Cuba in the 60s don’t give any kind of fvck about the affected ones.
Oh, I’m in Florida, Rubio & Scott are their “friends” and nothing would make me happier than not reading how Latinos kept the state full blown racist red.
Marco hasn’t been out in the sun in a decade, because he doesn’t want that taint on his skin, I guess they never noticed.
Rick Scott “saved”
Marco Rubio is Cuban:
Neither of Rubio's parents were U.S. citizens at the time of Rubio's birth in 1971 in Miami. They applied for U.S. citizenship and were naturalized in 1975. Some relatives of Rubio's were admitted to the U.S. as refugees.
Let's be clear. Cuban-Americans who voted are American citizens. The people who are being stripped of their legal status are not American citizens. They are legal permanent residents (green card holders) and those in the process of becoming citizens or have other legal status.
Let's be clear. The orange turd is in the process of getting rid of those with legal status such as green card holders and then will work on the Cuban-Americans who think they are American Citizens. He will strip that in a hot minute, born here or not. They need to get their head out of their arse.
No doubt that he will try to do all these things. My point is that non-citizens can't and don't vote. Republicans try to make people believe that they do in order to instill fear and justify their heinous actions.
Agreed however those who feel they are safe need to sit up and pay attention. If you are not white male you are in the crossfires. You better believe they are looking at you.
I wasn't disputing what you posted, I was adding to it. Sorry if it sounded like I was.
To all MAGAs:
Do you feel like you signed up for a revolution but got a reality show rerun instead? Were you promised greatness but handed a knockoff dictatorship with extra spray tan? Does the Golden Age you were promised feel more like a "golden shower?"
Please hold—your call is important to us.
Umm, Rafael, where can the oppressed immigrants who are losing their freedom thanks to you and your moronic orange can go to now? Have empathy. At least your family had an opportunity. Is this how you say Thank You?
Sadly, some chose the patriarchy & 'machismo' over their own best interests regardless of their race or national origin. Lured in by the temptation of the stolen power of the 'Broligarchy'. Just look who the leader of the 'Proud Boys' is? 😲
And you know what's worse? Their brainwash over their exceptionalism and whiteness over other Latinos is so deep than even after this, they will continue to vote for GOP like Pavlov's dogs when heard "Democrats are Communists and Castrochavistas".
The first wave of Cuban-Americans are in a huge majority defenders or enablers of Fulgencio Batista regime. Landowners with servants, urban elites with deep self hate and whiteness attitudes. Their bigotry and racism was deeper and when they gained the privileges they feel superior to other Latinos
The first diaspora came from landowners and a proper burgeoisie which was enabler of Fulgencio Batista regime - an autoritarian regime, but for right-wing.
True Castro has effect, but not because many of them actually like and worship for real democracy. They are enablers of far-right in LatAm.
I'm familiar.
Cuba has had a rough history. Left & right ideologies are irrelevant where both are authoritarian.
It's a shame Cuban Americans have allowed their conservatism to lead them to vote against their interests.
Yeah, Trump is a horror show, but no one who voted has had their citizenship revoked. They are revoking green cards and other forms of legal status to be here, but green card holders and such can not vote.
We're riding the wave of suffering along with them, but god-dammit - MAGA is GOING to feel this, and they DESERVE to. I will take another "recession financial hit" for my country, I guess, and hope to Christ that I can survive another one at my age. Worth it, if it will teach these MAGA asswipes.
Same, mother of dragons-I really love that. I’ve done it twice before, while saying-“My god, what if you’re retired or just making it?!”
I have the same basic hope you do, I’m retired now and help support a sibling who only has low SS payments. I hope we all make it.
I know a bunch of Cuban Americans in So Florida who voted for this guy. They immigrated in the '60s with their families as young children. They all took advantage of special treatment given to the Cubans.
Sad for them. But I have zero fucks to give
FAFO
Me too. The owner of the company I work for is Cuban and loves Trump. Meanwhile, he has made millions, thanks to the immigrants who want to work 70 hrs a week. In the 30 yrs I have been working there, we had ONE American appy for a job and disappeared at lunchtime. I just feel sorry for them.
They were warned. They also had Senator Rick Scott constantly on the television warning about "socialism" to scare people. Now the country and the Cuban-Americans in South Florida are fucked and can't even enjoy it.
For many of them "socialism" and Castro came as a threat for their own privilege. The first wave of refugees were landowners and urban elites aka people with money and status. They like autoritarian regimes like Batista. But socialism means end of their power structure.
This part. 🐘 preyed on 🇨🇺 fears bc they equate communism w/dictatorship. Everyone's attacking 🇨🇺 but 🇻🇪 have had a "communist" dictatorships for a long time too & they also 🗳 for 47. You can't disregard the propaganda 🇺🇸 peddles also w/regards to communism & socialism.
I’m surrounded by them in my apartments (they are employees of the property management). They’re always decked out in red. And, shockingly they’re shitty fucking neighbors, throwing parties that last more than 24 hours. I call mgmt to complain and they tell me to call the cops. 1/2
Trumpy is a Con job. He doesn't have voters but marks and victims (a lot of the time?) Promise of renewed job opportunities for Coal, Steel and auto. Bringing Christian values. In reality understanding nothing about them. His life has been on the golf course or stupid get rich shames. Time to go...-
That’s for sure! I’m in Miami and I’m hearing them in panic from the barbershop to the grocery store… it’s ridiculous… also abuela y abuelo depend on the safety nets… crazy times
I have asked that question myself.....was it because this time they (foolishly) believed they would not be the ones victimized? If so, I will never understand why, after experiencing the brutality of authoritarianism, they would not want to spare others from its impact? Are they really that selfish?
"Radical left socialist" is what billionaire Republicans call Democrats. That means we support social safety nets that we've paid into our entire lives. Imagine them thinking it's THEIRS to "cut" in ANY way.
It's the same scare tactic they use with crime
Those Democrats are just a crime loving, commie loving bunch
No connection to reality...but it makes for good propaganda
Fear is what they're looking for
This goes way back. Read about the Bay of Pigs. They have not forgotten that a Democratic president didn’t go all in on helping them overthrow Castro. They’re still pissed about it
It’s a trauma response to seek out people that abused you in childhood. It’s why abused children marry similar abusers when they become adults. If all you’ve known is tyranny, it’s what you’ll always crave.
I respectfully disagree only on one point: Stockholm Syndrome is identifying and sympathizing with your abuser, what I’m saying is they take comfort in being around assholes because that’s all they know. I def agree with you they are greedy and stupid as well.
If you ever wish to go down the rabbit hole of information, Stockholm was more complicated when you find out the police were careless with the safety of the hostages and the hostages realized they had a better chance of survival with their captors.
Proof that "going to church" or "being Catholic" doesn't necessarily give you a lick of spiritual discernment. How they cannot see the PURE EVIL all over that guy, is BEYOND me. They might as well have just all played with Ouija boards, incorrectly.
Not anymore, at least not in the same way as other decades. Caribbean and Central American diasporas had seen places which Protestant churches (Especially baptists and Evangelics) had field to grow
The Catholic Church practically pushes a “vote for the pro-life candidate at all costs” stance that they have refused communion (which Catholics believe is necessary to go to heaven) to pro-choice Catholics. A lot of Catholics will vote for an open fascist or nazi if they’re pro-choice.
Cuban-Americans who naturalized are not being stripped of citizenship & can vote. Cubans, waiting on asylum or TPS apps., have no right to vote & did not. They may support Trump’s policies, but could not vote for him. Let’s try to be a bit more empathetic & informed. Don’t be a trumper.
The point is that Cuban Americans voted for this for their people. Cubans have been protected by Democrats for years and the Cuban Americans still vote against their best interest. Also, who says Trump won't pull citizenship. According to the GOP every Hispanic is Venezuelan and a gang member.
Well... all the people getting legal status stripped cannot vote. But the point is valid, lots of cuban-americans voted for their friends and families (and people they hate) to get deported. Or thrown into El Salvador prisons.
Someone that comes here legally vs an undocumented person... Trump is showing the Cuban-Americans that voted for him that he's revoking legal status on like 500k of people. People that followed the rules and came here legally.
It isn't about legal vs illegal, it's about where they came from
That’s what happens when you don’t pay attention. Most Cubans are Republicans because they believe the BS that Democrats are Communists. They deserve to be deported or incarcerated for being stupid and for voting against their own self interests and against other immigrants.
It broke my heart when I had to turn my back on a childhood friend I trusted once she told me that she voted for Trump because her family came here legally. She’s Mexican-American, and I can’t help but wonder when she’s next.
I realized you were talking about money 😉 My comment was sarcasm.
I respectfully disagree with your statement, "uneducated by choice not by oppression".
Red states have been cutting education funding for decades, by design. Purposely hurting their base, that's oppression.
GOP has been cutting education funding for decades+brought it to this point now that so many US citizens are uneducated and illiterate.
It's MAGA who opportunized on idea to make homeschooling option, no teacher pay+vouchers.
Dept of Education shut down, burning +banning books.
LBJ had education #1.
Brexit is a disaster. UK Citizens were lied to. Poorly educated citizens believed the lies. Yes, the story feels similar now playing out in the uSA. ..from Milton Keynes, Bucks, UK.
So many didn't think he meant them. Calling their homelands shithole countries saying we needed more immigrants from places like Norway etc... I feel like none of it registered in the minds of many people.
Now Cubans and Venezuelans with TPS say Trump has betrayed them. But when they supported Trump 2024 (by rallying, since no voting rights), they were betraying Biden and Democrats, who provided them with TPS. What goes around comes around
If he keeps it up, and THIS voting bloc turns on him, I'd be shocked.
...but growing up in S. Florida, knowing how hard 80's and 90's era exiled Cubans worked to get here, the detainment camps they endured. if they turned, they'd be a hell of an angry force to reckon with.
Brother it’s happening to the venezuelans too but give it a rest he coming for all of us whether we voted voted for him or not. most of these red states pump propaganda to their latinos through univision very maga or sinclair broadcasting stations. why do you think trump loved the poorly educated?
The first Cubans which came to USA weren't exactly defenders of democracy, cause they actually supported a right-wing autocratic regime and many of them shared bigotry from the days of Spanish colonial times.
From Venezuelans is more complicated considering the
same country faced a two parties oligarchy (wonder where I heard this before) which actually oppresed the opposition before Chavez came into power. Even then, there's space of debate over his first tenure. But that's another thread.
The point is neither is black/white issue. While it's true we have
Yet, they supposedly came here to escape what they voted for. My dad actually fought and was shot twice during WWII to save this democracy. They voted against his sacrifice for his country and family. I am so angry.
The same holds true for immigrants from india and asia. Most don’t vote for democrats. In this past election the majority of them voted for Trump yet I find it strange no one really discusses this.
Thank you, I voted for this and more. These illegals are not the ones fleeing communism, but agitators and criminals. Remember when Biden rounded up all the Cubans fleeing Castro in rafts and sending them back without due process?
It’s amazing to me how many people voted against their own interests. They didn’t think they’d be targeted, but were completely uncaring that others would be.
Unfortunately, I have family members, whom I deeply LOVE, listened to Fox fake news, didn't listen to me & went ahead and voted for this PIECE OF SHIT. I have already told my sister NOT to come crying to me cause I had TRIED TOO LONG & TOO HARD to talk sense into her.
My brother hung up on me & hasn't spoken to me for 4 years, because he was such a FANBOY of Trump, under the MAGA MIND VIRUS. Now, I am sure he's sphinctering-out over the thought of his Soc Sec being messed with as well as what may happen to his wife with advanced MS. I mean, How DUMB can he be?
She choose to watch and believe FOX. She choose to vote for an evil man to be leader.
At least we know who these people really are now.
I've lost trust in most of my family as they support this evil, and I'm in Canada
Historically, Cuban Americans vote Republican in HUGE numbers. Before Trump took over the GOP, they were welcomed with open arms by the GOP, because they were a very reliable voting block. What they failed to recognize, is that Trump makes NO EXCEPTIONS if you have the wrong skin color.
Started when Busch lured Latinos & Hispanics by using that he had Columba Bush, his Mexican-born daughter-in-law, which led them to believe that GOP would have sympathies in their favor. Next, GOP used past Cuban fear of Castro as a leftist boogeyman, but it's 'strongman' DJT who they should fear!😰
It goes back long before that. Many Cubans/Cuban-Americans were brought up to never trust a Democrat after JFK hung them out to dry during the Bay of Pigs invasion.
I have a bff who immigrated to US from Cuba 57 yrs ago… her adult children voted MAGA. They’re all U.S Citizens now… not sure how to reconcile that one. 🤯
Most of the anti communist light skinned Cubans came in the 1950’s. The new Cubans aren’t something established Cubans care about. In other words the fascist defected long ago.
It’s never been about efficiency. It’s tearing down the US strength, security, economy, health and education for the benefit of the tinpot war criminal and allow the uberrich to pick up assets cheap
I don't see HOW anyone who isn't a white billionaire would think THEY would be spared what's to come from TRUMP and his Gestapo? How STUPID can someone BE?
I have no sympathy for them. They voted with the intent to hurt other people. They can deal with the consequences of their actions, they brought it on to themselves.
Just wait until he removes citizenship and legal status from all those who got wet foot/dry foot admittance to this country. He doesn't need the Cubans et al. anymore.
I've watched many videos about the cubans situation.
what many don't understand is they are the most racist ppl ever. they don't even like their fellow recent arrivals and don't care if "they" are targeted. as far as they are concerned they are communists.
My best friend came from Cuba, did the two year processing etc. she is the kindest soul, along with her parents & sister. Saying Cubans are racist is like Canada saying all of America is MAGA. Simply not true.
As a group, they overwhelmingly vote Republican - because Kennedy bungled the Bay of Pigs - and Carter wasn’t prepared for Fidel to start the Mariel boatlift.
My little Cuban/now American friend is & has been outraged. Her father was imprisoned by Castro, because he was a police officer. I’m so thankful her family fled Cuba. ❤️🩹
You understand that Cuban American citizens are family and friends with Cuban residents of the United States right?
The fascist domestic enemies of this country that decided to support Donald Trump after he tried to overturn a presidential election voted for dictatorship; they voted for evil.
I was saddened to see the many signs saying "Cubanos for Trump" and "Latinos for Trump" in Miami Dade during the run-up to last year's election. Have these people lost their minds, I asked myself?
another example of ‘pulling the ladder up behind you’
“I was saddened to see the many signs saying "Cubanos for Trump" and "Latinos for Trump" in Miami Dade during the run-up to last year's election. Have these people lost their minds, I asked myself?”
Americans! The constitution is being attacked. Our executive branch of government is currently trying to install an imperial fascist dictatorship. All citizens regardless of political leanings are duty bound to fight them & restore the authority of the constitution. Fight! Resist! Protest! ✊

Trump HATES them, I’m curious how he’ll handle them.

#GotWhatYouVotedFor
#BooFuckingHoo
That's why many of these powerful figures supported militar juntas and far-right movements in Latin America.
It's sad what their country went through, but there's no excuse for not recognising that Democrats aren't left at all.
A few are but the majority are old school conservative.
True Castro has effect, but not because many of them actually like and worship for real democracy. They are enablers of far-right in LatAm.

So now we're all fucked. Yup .
OH WELL 🤷♀️
Is that petty? You betcha.

It isn't about legal vs illegal, it's about where they came from
OP is a dickhead bc he knows it's not just 🇨🇺 voting for 47. 🇻🇪, 🇵🇷 did too. The thing is Latinos aren't a monolith.
accepted by white racists just because
