Cubans in Florida pushing for Trump was not on my bingo card, for sure.

I also remember seeing “general chat lobby” spammers switching from the boilerplate racism tropes to Portuguese and learning about Brazilian troll farms.

A lot of Miami-based Cubans are VERY anti anything socialist/communist. All you’ve really got to do is say you’re fighting “those socialists trying to take over” and it’s a tragically easy way to win that vote.

the biggest flaw in communist theory is the "temporary dictatorship" part...
it turns out, temporary dictators never willingly stop being dictators...

I agree. Any transition away from capitalism should not involve a dictator.
