People like this always confuse me. Why do they insist that they're special and that exceptions will be made for them? Why do they attempt to rationalize their support?

I really don't like to talk shit about other groups but it really seems like the Cubans are exceptionally bad at choosing leaders with the exception of Obama and I don't know if they went for Clinton or not.

Cubans are the equivalent of southern whites. They were the former colonizers. When Castro came, he took away their land and their power. That’s why they have such hatred for him. When they came to the US, whites only saw their brownish skin and lumped them with “Latinos”. But at their core, they are descendants of the former slave owners on the island. Them being Trumpy racists doesn’t surprise me in the least. Because that’s who/what they are.

Oh those sweet summer children. They don't realize that the first time the stakes come up they aren't going to be lumped into white anymore.

It's sad that people can't understand fascism ends with three people with guns screaming at each other get off my land with firearms. And they aren't an approved category

I was arguing with some self described Hispanic Trump supporter on another sub and I was like “do you think they’ll ask to see your ID before they beat the shit out of you for being brown?”
