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

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

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”?

Both. It's both.

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

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.
