The question I have is whether or not with the denaturalization threat will they then go after Cubans? If that were to occur we’d have so many leopards eating faces given how much the Cuban community has voted GOP for years. It really seems up this administration’s alley to go after them but we’ll see

u/kermitthebeast 27d ago

They don't see a difference between Cubans and Mexicans. Shit, I'd be surprised if they actually wind up in Cuba after deportation

u/NorCalFrances 27d ago

Leopards are known for not being picky eaters.

That’s the beauty of the leopards. Many cubans absolutely see themselves as being wanted in America. I’d put them right next to the Muslims for Trump as the most glorious LAMF, if they follow through with their threats

87

u/saltyoursalad 27d ago

I guess they enjoyed Trump’s Muslim ban the first time around and want more of the same.

u/KnightofNoire 27d ago

Bet they mental gymnastic out of it.

u/saltyoursalad 27d ago

Always. Their hatred and bigotry are more important than their security and integrity. When the leopards come to feast, I wonder if they expect crowds to protest again?

32

u/bluetechrun 27d ago

Even the ones that weren't for Trump still helped him. One of the 'uncommitted' Muslims was running after Rubio trying to get him to help the Palestinians. Guess what his response was.

u/whiterac00n 27d ago

It does bring up a debatable question of whether or not does the occurrence you linked make these current people worse since they should have hindsight to see terrible consequences from the past? Obviously it shows that it’s just human nature for some in society to do the “pick me” dance but the alarm bells have been chiming out for a decade and they haven’t learned yet.

Like what I’m saying is does precedence make the repeat of historical mistakes make it worse or is that group you linked the titleholders for “worst choice ever”?

6

u/Illiander 27d ago

Both. It's both.

u/BostonBooger 27d ago

Us humans never really learn from history, we pretend we do but we don't.

6

u/whiterac00n 27d ago

It’s been brought up in movies where they say “history repeats itself, but people don’t live long enough to avoid old mistakes from happening again”. Not a direct quote but the sentiment is there. It’s also not as if the fascists and literal Nazis haven’t been lingering on the outskirts of society waiting for their chance. We’ve had many opportunities to get rid of them but they have used our “freedoms” against us expertly, and if this country has any kind of future outside of fascism we’re going to have a very hard time relegating what our “freedoms” are vs how they can be weaponized against ourselves. We have leaned far too heavily on society making the “rules” to keep us morally responsible, but that’s been proven to be folly

6

u/BostonBooger 27d ago

Times a wheel. Around and around we go making the same mistakes over and over never learning from the previous ones. The idea was, it'll NEVER happen HERE - fast forward 5-10-20 years, it'll be HOW did it happen HERE. The warning signs were present, a ton of people just chose to ignore them or worse, welcomed them.

u/ABHOR_pod 27d ago

I know an Algerian guy who got his citizenship 4 years ago and was excited about his opportunity to vote for Trump this time around. I like the dude, he's one of my best work friends and I was honestly shocked when he told me that.

I hope he doesn't get what he wanted.

8

u/SidepocketNeo 27d ago

Fun Fact, that's because in their home country they were considered "white". Castro and his party was and is shit, but the main reason why American Cubans hate him is because he took their slaves away.

6

u/ReflexPoint 27d ago

The ones like Marco Rubio who can pass for white will be okay. The dark brown ones better look out.

6

u/whiterac00n 27d ago

The ones (of all minorities) who are connected or able to bribe are going to be fine. It’s pretty much the entire setup that the GOP is after. A slave class, a semi wealth class and then the uber rich

7

u/NEIGHBORHOOD_DAD_ORG 27d ago

Kinda funny that Cubans think anyone gives a crap about them outside of Florida. They've just made Miami SOOOOO pleasant!

I read that there are special rules for Cubans seeking naturalisation.

I don't that'll last.

u/SidepocketNeo 27d ago

I had to explain to many people that back when slavery existed, Southern Companies use to send bounty hunters to go to Free States and captured either escaped slaves or their freeborn descendants and bring them back to Slave States to put them back into slavery.

Authories have no concept nor do they care about nuance. It's how like in the early 2000's that there were no Saudis, Afghans, Pakistanis, Indians, ect. They were just "towelheads". Same how my fellow Americans sadly call anyone speaking Spanish "Mexicans".

u/External_Contract860 27d ago

Rubio is Cuban. He'll protect them, but no one else.

u/mykonoscactus 27d ago

Their corpses dumped into the Gulf might wash up in Cuba!

If they put Cubans on a bus to Cuba, and then you explain what will happen to that bus, they'll see it as a bonus.

Lol... just lol. We send immigrants to New York apparently so your not completely off base there.

u/Jamesatny 27d ago

It’s the OP here who doesn’t see the difference between a Cuban and Mexican. Hispanic people aren’t a monolith, the post seems to imply that there’s some sort of solidarity that exists between all Hispanics and that legal Hispanics in Florida voted for their own demise. Does an Italian American who has roots going back to the 1910s give a shit if an illegal immigrant from Poland is deported? No. They don’t sit there and think they are next.

8

u/bluetechrun 27d ago edited 27d ago

The OP isn't the one who is getting ready to deport everyone with a Spanish sounding last name. The Repuliklans are so bad that there was a Faux News host that complained about Ariana Grande being a latina and not white- she's Italian.

u/VoidOmatic 27d ago

If they are brown they are on the menu. Racists can't tell the difference.

99

u/Maorine 27d ago

The majority of Cubans are on either end of the spectrum. Either white (think Jose Diaz Belard) or black. They are as middle ground as PuertoRicans. This is because Cubans didn’t intermarry as much. Also, the Cubans that came here in the 50s were the well to do whites that had Castro take their property which is why they hate Communism. I’m sure they believe that only those “other” Cubans will be deported. They probably want it. Leopards will have lots of white meat eating there.

49

u/atuarre 27d ago

Yeah, their families supported the brutal right-wing dictator that came before Castro, Fulgencio Batista. Those people supported that brutal dictator and then cried when Castro came to power.

245

u/I_Frothingslosh 27d ago

With how virulently anti-refugee Miller and company are, I expect Cubans to be right up there with Mexicans. Especially since it's really about non-whites, not Hispanics.

u/mortgagepants 27d ago edited 27d ago

yeah they're going to open a tip hotline [edit: to report] hatians and it will say "press 1 for spanish" and if you do they just track your phone automatically.

Weaponize their hate against them. Karma.

u/Relativity-nomore 27d ago

Haitians speak a version of French, though.

46

u/mortgagepants 27d ago

indeed- the cubans will call to report the hatians, and by doing so will implicate themselves.

u/Brooklynxman 27d ago

You think they know that?

u/corpus_M_aurelii 27d ago

Cubans in Florida? Yes, they do.

u/floodcontrol 27d ago

Why would Haitians speak Spanish?

Haiti was a French colony, they speak French and some creol dialects.

why would hatians report themselves?

Well obviously, Cuba is communist, therefore all Cubans are communist. It would be against the god fearing american spirit not to get rid of communists

u/BigBlueWeenie88 27d ago

Man this would piss off so many Cubans in Miami lol. Just the other day I overheard a guy talking to an older Cuban couple talking about how interesting it was that more people are choosing to retire in Cuba. The older Cuban lady then said “might as well retire to North Korea”. Not gonna lie it would be really funny if they just started getting called Communist by association.

u/Bigred2989- 27d ago

You joke, but Western Union requires people sending money to Cuba to swear that the receiver is not only an immediate family member, but is also not a member of the Cuban Communist Party.

u/SportySpiceLover 27d ago

When that report came out that Hispanics would outnumber Whites by 2030 came out in the early 2000s, it gave fuel to this anti-immigrant wave and fortunately, the Cubans believed they had the White pass instead of who they actually are. We are going to see a major invasion of face-eating leopards to deal with this crisis.

u/TheLastBallad 27d ago

Reminds me of when Elhomine invited the Alien Cat boys to help eradicate the dinosaurs.

This was before one of them was sent to hell for having a harem, and became Catboy Satan.

Happy Science, the Scientology of Japan!

u/throwawayacc407 27d ago

I lived in Miami, I'd love for Trump to de naturalize them and deport them all. I'm sick of their entitled attitude. They are some of the largest welfare recipients but actively vote to fuck themselves and everyone else. They can all fuck off back to Cuba.

19

u/East_Reading_3164 27d ago

💯 I'm in Miami. They are the worst. The most racist, too.

Bruh, I'm Asian and they regularly called me "Chino", I'm not even Chinese...

14

u/East_Reading_3164 27d ago

Yup. I am subjected to their nonsense daily; I'm in healthcare. They call me Gringa and spew the most horrible racist crap because it's just a couple of “white” people shooting the breeze. I take great pleasure in telling them the boat my family came over on was The Mayflower, my family has never spoken like that and is not racist, and lastly, that they are NOT WHITE.

Thanks man. And yeah, thats why I'm kinda happy to see this all unfold. I didn't vote for Trump but these racists sure did. Time to get the popcorn and kickback.

I hope they all get exactly what they voted for.

Everyone who will regret their vote will try to blame liberals and act like they did nothing wrong. Fuck them. I'm gloating. They can go to Putin for support.

C’mon now. You think those MAGAts know or care to try and discern the differences between a Mexican, a Cuban, a Puerto Rican or any other non white looking Hispanic who speaks anything other than “Murican”? They absolutely do not. All they see are a gang of “bad hombres” who they think have no right being here. So many of them fucked around by voting against their own self interests, despite all of our efforts to save us and THEM from exactly what’s about to happen. Oh well, they’re about to find out. I won’t even bother saying I told you so. I’ll be too busy munching my popcorn as I watch the leopards feast on all their shocked Pikachu faces. 🍿

u/Roguespiderman 27d ago

I mean, can you blame them? Have you ever had a good Cuban sandwich? Fucking…👨🏾‍🍳🤌🏾

28

u/whiterac00n 27d ago

Unfortunately I’ve had far more terrible Cuban sandwiches than good ones, but yeah the ones that are roasted pork and aren’t just slices of ham yellow mustard and pickles are really good.

5

u/corpus_M_aurelii 27d ago

A good Cuban sandwich is a wonderful thing, and in principle they are simple, so why is it so fucking hard to find one that isn't dry, overdone, over seasoned, or some other mistake or lazy effort?

I'm sure the proportion that are good is highest in Miami and Tampa, but it shouldn't be so hit or miss even in less Cuban parts of Florida. Like even at restaurants that are otherwise high quality, the Cubans are just disappointing.

6

u/whiterac00n 27d ago

I just don’t think places and people want to go through the effort of using oranges and blood oranges to marinate a slow roasted pork. It’s far easier to use ham or food distributor “pulled pork” products. The pulled pork packages are super cheap and rely heavily on the sauce making it “tasty”.

To a lot of food service vendors it’s a lot of effort for a sandwich, even though the effort has a noticeable difference. Worked food service when I was younger and the places that took effort with their food were popular, but profit margins were lower. Now this conversation has me thinking about marinating a pork loin and making my own Cuban sandwich lol

u/Ok-Loss2254 27d ago

I fucking hope so because they are the main ones who can't let go of red scare bullshit and calling dems communists because everything contexts to Castro to them. I have even seen Cubans the same age as me saying "I lived through communism" blah blah blah. Which is bullshit because it was more like their grandparents and some of their parents did. 3 generations and they are still on that shit.

If they got booted I wouldn't lose any sleep mind you it would be difficult for trumps admin to get rid of the ones who were recently born here as in the grandchildren and children of the ones who fled Cuba. Older ones and some of their children would be easier kinda to boot.

6

u/whiterac00n 27d ago

I don’t think Trump or Miller are concerned about “difficulty”. In all likelihood they will simply mass deport without any legal recourse AT THE TIME for these people and then simply watch as the immigration system and it’s courts become unable to function under the weight of so many requests. Undoubtedly there’s going to be numerous “full blooded Americans” who will get caught up in this and may spend more than a decade fighting with the system to regain their status. Like this will not be “surgical” it’ll be a huge mess and extremely ugly and given that the immigration law system is completely separate from the rest of the legal system it will collapse from the mess.

There’s going to be a ton of corruption and bribery and innocent people harmed. Naturalization or whatever be damned. They will say that’s for the courts to sort out

5

u/Ok-Loss2254 27d ago

Well to many Americans don't seem to care until it affects them which is becoming more and more of a problem. To many assholes don't care and it's impossible to make them understand it because a lot of people are borderline narcissistic.

I’m guessing the MAGA crowd isn’t going to care whether they’re Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican or whatever.

I’m fine with it. They overwhelmingly vote republican and voted to deport themselves so I won’t get in the way, be gone.

But something tells me they won’t do this because they know they lose votes if they do.

I highly doubt that will be the case for this wave of anti immigration policies. They will be swept up along with others.

u/TimequakeTales 26d ago

Cubans give Republicans Florida.

If a Cuban refugee floats his way to Miami, he receives special privileges that other illegal immigrants do not. This is due to our historical animosity with Cuba. Republicans have always supported this.
