Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

[–] nick@midwest.social 17 points 3 months ago

I think this is funny, and pray he gets what he voted for (getting his ass deported).

He's a cuban in the US, his family almost certainly owned slaves and hates the working class for taking their land and 'making' them flee or be judged by their former slaves.

Its unsurprising he's maga, he just didn't realize gusanos aren't white.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

Thanks for adding context. That does clarify why he waggled his face at the leopards' mouths.

Also, I believe his partner was drawn into all of this, too.

This is really only true for Miami Cubans. Tampa Cubans (generally) came much earlier fleeing Bautista, and are MUCH more supportive of socialism than Miami Cubans (who, you're right, came to the US because Castro had the nerve to take their plantations away).

How do you come to such conclusions?

[–] yunxiaoli@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much the only ones that 'fled cuba' did so to avoid justice. Their families tend to be far right conservatives, since they were the ones overthrown.

Reinaldo Arenas would have liked to say something here.

[–] yunxiaoli@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 months ago

I did say pretty much. The repression of lgbt by soviet and non soviet forces, each blaming the other for the cause, was a terrible time in history. However for every person like arenas there's are least a dozen 'we hate castro because he brainwashed the servant family that had been loyal to us for decades'.

He's likely still loyal to Trump despite all this.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

I can't believe the deep state Democrats usurped Trumps authority by deporting this guy. Have they no honor?

I imagine that the leopard is enjoying the Cuban flavor, after so much white bread

Le gustan las carrilleras de cerdo cubanas.

The stupid is strong in this one!

Get acquainted with the underside of the bus.

Acquainted? They're about to be common-law married!

Two wrongs rarely make a right.

Someone needs to chant "let's go Brandon" as he is being deported.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Being that delusional, he might have been chanting it the whole way.
