When I visited Cuba, I found it super creepy that they were selling CDs with the title "Singing Songs to Che Guevara" that looked like Christian worship music praising Che instead of Jesus. I expect this will happen soon with Trump in the US, if it hasn't already.
LMAO as a child of Cuban immigrants, I can assure you that there are already plenty of Cuban Americans in this country worshipping Trump as if he were Jesus. My grandfather had a portrait of him on his nightstand before he passed, right next to his beloved grandchildren (although tbf he was in the early stages of dementia at the time)
Whichever candidate accuses the other of being a communist first wins that privilege in the mind of the Cuban immigrant. Republicans have been winning that game since the first balsero landed in Miami. There's a spanish language radio station here called Radio Mambi which is an endless stream of the worst pro-Trump propaganda imaginable.
It's equal parts scary and depressing. These people escaped one authoritarian regime and are now flocking to another. It legit makes me ashamed.
