They love a good fascists and they hate socialism/communism.

Biden = "socialism"
Trump = fascist

Cuban Americans vote very differently than other hispanic voters. In fact Trump getting middling support from Cubans in 2016 was likely because they didn't know how great of a fascist he was going to turn out to be.

In fact they are the descendants of the people who backed a fascist in Cuba and ran away when he was deposed.

If the models assumed Cuban (pro-fascist) Hispanics would vote the same as other Hispanics when Trump the Fascist was on the ticket well that was a mistake, a yuge mistake.

>> They love a good fascists and they hate socialism/communism.

Yes, same for my Polish friends.

They seem to like the idea of a strongman as a leader, and they are used to politicians being corrupt. It's expected.

I think it's the same for the Cubans.

I unfortunately am not at all surprised. In Cuba black Cubans to my understanding are treated like second-class citizens so they could also be pretty racist. A former African-American colleague of mine on the campaign I worked on called thems spicy whites

But I am reading that the Hispanic population in Florida has been inundated with GOP propaganda, calling us Castro-lovers, socialists, etc.

The GOP has run a very successful smear campaign labeling Democrats at socialists in Miami-Dade. And Cuban Americans have massive fear of socialism.

i just visited the graves of my great grandparents who came here from ireland on day of the dead.
i thought about whether they wished to be buried back home. but the cemetery they are in is almost all irish. so i think they are happy enough where they are.

you cant tell me there is a single immigrant group that doesnt want to be buried w their countrymen. and see their old home.
esp one that is only 90 miles away.

trump is a master at fomenting hate/fear and he did a good job scaring the bejeezus out of them with all of his "socialism" lies. Castro overthrowing Batista fucked up Cubans for the foreseeable future.
