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

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

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

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?

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.

This time around, sure.

But I can do you better

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”?

u/Illiander 27d ago

Both. It's both.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

u/ReflexPoint 27d ago

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

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

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!

u/WeeDramm 27d ago

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

I don't that'll last.

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!

u/WrongEinstein 27d ago

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.

u/tanukijota 27d ago

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.

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.
