(4,845 posts)1. So our reaction is to piss them off more?
I thought we hate the "own the lib" politics. Are we going to do revenge too?

Which was opening up relations with countries like Cuba or Iran. Trump took us several steps backwards.

that they've nothing to lose in doing so...it's not like the Cuban vote was pro Democrat anyway ?

Normalization of relations with Cuba will anger some, but it is the right thing to do.
It's not revenge. It is accepting reality; they're not getting their grandparent's property back.

That should be the goal regardless of whether it pisses them off more.

And, yes - the Florida Cubans will go bat shit.
