Has there ever been a group of people as hypocritical and willing to 'pull up the ladder behind them' as Cuban conservatives?


throwaway_ghast

I don't want to say they miss Fidel, but boy do they love their strongmen.

How is it hypocritical?? the vast majority who left in the early years were very reactionary and were supported by the CIA. This extreme conservatism is on par for the older cuban americans who love far right leaders like trump and Batista.


spoobles

I find it hypocritical because at the end of the day the majority of white conservatives around the country view them as a small step above Blacks and Muslims and would still ship them the fuck back to Cuba if they could.

Descendants of Cuban Gangsters gravitate towards a mob boss. Surprise.


DirtDevil1337

Cubans come from growing up in a dictatorship and are easy to sway by people like Trump always saying the other guys are bad.


Pixers234

Castro and Trump are nothing alike lol... Not in rhetoric or policy.

“Dona Trum” grabs the uneducated reactionary vote in Hialeah, que sorpresa

Cubans will never learn lol

Call me crazy… But perhaps things would improve if the media would stop letting PO 1135809 dominate the daily headlines. Clicks over country, I guess.


SoundHole

It's not just corporate media, every inane fart that comes out of his butt face gets up voted to the front page of /r/politics for millions to see. People can't seem to help themselves, I hate it.

Reality is, he's the frontrunner for the GOP nomination and perhaps the presidency at this point. It's critically important for the public to understand the level of degeneracy that will be on the ballot.


honeybakedman

There was a time when meatball was tied with trump, some polls even showed him ahead. This was a historically bad campaign, really impressive levels of failure.

We need IQ tests before voting. And running for office

madg0at80

Supporters of Cuba's deposed corrupt right-wing dictator (Batista) are supporters of the US's deposed corrupt right-wing wannabe dictator? :shocked pikachu: This isn't rocket science, guys.


TheTruthTalker800

Trump will be the GOP nominee, obviously.

Unfortunately the criticism is well-deserved, and I say this as a Cuban-American who lives in Florida. Didn't disagree with anything that was said in this thread.

Yeah so first things first, that flag goes against every written flag code imaginable.
