Cuba’s population, shaped by decades of communism, would likely lean more conservative.

Like what? I bet if you name it, the Dems are trying to stop it.
A democrat judge just blocked Kennedy's attempt to change the vaccine schedule. They are trying to stop everything.
Voting democrats again won't help you.

Look at voting patterns among Cuban Americans in places like Miami…people or their relatives who experienced or fled Communism firsthand tend to run the other direction politically, not toward it.
Now, does that mean every single person in Cuba would suddenly become a conservative voter? Of course not.

Don't paint East Germans with the Angela Merkel brush! But seriously, do you have data on that? I know just about nobody but the Poles are as hardcore right as they used to be, but zee Germans would be an interesting case study.

Go hang around some Cubans. It doesn't take long to get a representative sample. My ex isn't a fan of Trump but her crossing the border for asylum during the Biden administration (and almost raped) as well as her parents living in squalor firmly have her on Trumps's side just do get something done. A lot of those people are just looking for hope

The conservative Cubans in Miami left Cuba when Castro took over. They didn't have 6 decades of Marxist indoctrination. Just because the present-day Cubans may desire freedom doesn't mean that they haven't been conditioned to depend on government.

You do know that the VENONA project largely proved that McCarthy was correct, don't you?

China was not involved with Cuba in the 60s. They only became involved because America blocked all of Cuba's other avenues.
quote:You are working very hard to excuse Cuba's troublemaking activities in the past and present. Why is that?
It seems like we are just inventing ideas to keep a thumb on Cuba at this point.

So they’re “conditioned to depend on government”… yet people literally risk their lives to escape it? Something doesn’t track.
Living under a broken system for decades doesn’t create loyalty; it usually creates the opposite. Calling an entire population permanently “conditioned” isn’t insight, it’s just a convenient excuse.

Derp. Derp, Chad. The United States has been systematically attempting to kill off the Cuban Government since John F. Kennedy was our president. That power plant is like 3x older than its lifespan. Venezuelas Chavez, then Maduro, were huge believers in the Castro Doctrine, and they used their oil money to attempt to spread it throughout Latin America.
The US has never wanted communism in the hemisphere. They saw an opportunity to kill it off and went for it. I’ve been to Cuba several times, including last August—it’s a tragic humanitarian crisis created by the embargo, but it is clear to me this is not a party lines issue and no US regime fully supports leaving Cuba alone, so it is probably time to kill it and reimagine it.
They’ve lost an insane amount of people to mass migration since Covid. Estimates are 20-25%, all prime working age people.

Correct. Why would we support one of Russia's territories? They wanted, they should keep it up

I'm just saying don't expect all of them to immediately turn into hardcore MAGAs with a Spanish accent.

I covered that in a previous post.

I'm going to guess that the Fanjuls (sugar billionaires) will own that island 5 seconds after the Commies get booted out.

It’s a mess for sure. But in an ideal scenario would actually be a net tax contributor compared to shitty arse Puerto Rico.

I'm wondering how having Cuban sugar dumped back on the market is going to affect Florida and Louisiana.
