Yes!

So as a Vietnamese American, i am surrounded by Viet that are just like as bad as white MAGA and have been dying to see if any Viet MAGA people will face consequences for also being at the coup.

They are just as bad but are not talked about due to language barriers.

I blocked majority of my family on FB because their Consistent posts about lies and crap they believe in.

There are definitely reactionary conservative elements. Comes from their anti-communism. Kind of like Cubans I've heard.

While they are usually being misled and it is frustrating, I think it's prudent to be very careful how we try to persuade such demographics.

It's objectively ridiculous to equate someone like Bernie/AOC or policies like Medicare for all with Castro or the Viet Cong, but I can see how it could echo chamber its way there. Particularly through targeted propaganda, which is almost certainly being conducted constantly by rich old white vampire lords.

I think this is an area that requires careful, thoughtful outreach from people within those communities and I'm definitely not qualified.
