Aren't Florida Cubans pro Trump because they think he'll overthrow the Cuban government?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago

The radio fellatio they were broadcasting about trump was really depressing last time I visited. Have the day y'all voted for assholes!

They're often families who fled Cuba during or after the revolution. Plantation owners, landlords, capitalists, etc.

[–] Naradae@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago

They're also pro-Trump because they were brainwashed to believe anything else would be Communism.

Cuban Americans tend to be conservative and republican but not every Cuban is.

Interesting that when they deported Milo Yanawhatpolis, they sent him back to the UK.

“When an individual is no longer in ICE custody then ICE will no longer be responsible for them,” the agency said. “This is common sense.”

Kinda like when they "dropped off" that guy who didn't speak English and didn't have a phone or his wallet outside a closed Dunkin Donuts in the middle of a freezing night wearing summer clothes - who could possibly have foreseen that he'd freeze to death?!

Or the innocent man they were forced to bring back from El Salvador.

"Relatives and the attorney believe that ICE did not grasp the risks Michel faced being released alone on a city street that was probably unfamiliar to her, especially given the state of her health."

I'd reason they did grasp the risks. Very well.

It looks like they are conflating two incidents. There was another involving a blind man and a closed dunkin donuts.

They want Ebola? Because that's how you bring Ebola to the US.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

Yes, actually.

... A month after arriving in the Central African Republic, Moreno and 35 other immigrants deported on a 21-hour flight remain in Bangui, the country’s capital, without passports and no information about what will happen next. They stay at the Maison Confort, a modest hotel located in a busy neighborhood near central Bangui.

Moreno said they feel forgotten and fear they could be moved to another country. He said African authorities told them they may have to leave the room where they are staying within 90 days. He started an online fundraiser to help himself and other deportees start over in Bangui.

“It is a completely inhumane situation,” Moreno told the Tampa Bay Times via WhatsApp. “What are we doing here? It is a question we ask ourselves every day.”

Four months in a paid room? No CECOT?

Has he said, "Thank you?“

Why are people shadenfreuding as though every single Cuban American is a trump supporter? Even if a majority does, are you only worried about those that don't? Are you even worried about them at all? Just seems like so many people have become what they hate.

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 13 points 22 hours ago

Though I know they don't all support him, at this point I am only worried about ones that don't.

If you wanted this to happen then I'm glad you're experiencing it. I don't care if you were able to vote for it or you just hoped it would happen. I don't want to share space with people who support Trump. They are bad for their community (not just cultural community, I mean the actual people around them). This whole paradox of tolerance thing has been done to death. If you wanted "those people" out and you happen to be "those people" then yea, I'm glad you're gone.

I believe that all people deserve certain rights, but if you don't believe that and someone has to experience it first hand, then I really don't mind you seeing the consequences of your own goals.

JFC I need a drink after seeing that.

[–] JollyBrancher@sh.itjust.works 5 points 19 hours ago

I've always been concerned, but I will only be truly shocked - not any more devastated - when it happens to Little Marco.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Always nice to hear about people having the day they voted for.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

cuban leopards, keep voting republican and enjoy the consequeces of your own actions

[–] eurodyne@piefed.world 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Well, at least they won’t vote for Trump anymore

Those dumb fucks

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

These are not people who were eligible to vote.

[–] eurodyne@piefed.world 8 points 21 hours ago

with Trump’s ice, don’t be so sure about that
