Rubio and his family need to go back to Cuba

u/Few_Recording3486 8d ago

I don't have anything against his whole family. He can go by himself, of course.

You don't know the Cuban people. His family holds the same beliefs. Exile Cubans are very consistent with their political views

Most Cubans aren't from the exile generation.

Also, like half of Cubans vote Dem. They actually aren't consistent in their political views.

You're going to tell me a Cuban? Lol. Dude every single Cuban is apart of the Exile community. We're not here because of our will, there a tyrannical government in place. Even if its a visa process, you came here to avoid the communist party.

The ones which arrived post 2000 lean left but that's because they're leaning democrat after Obama relaxed relations and they e learned to work the entitlement programs for new arrivals. Miami is probably the most corrupt city in America as there's always ways around the system down there.

The younger generation born in exile is split 60/40 R:D as we've been Americanized and assimilated into the culture. Our parents experience fleeing the country and the indoctrination against communism is the reasoning for the leaning towards right wing policy.

  1. I'm also Cuban my dude, hold your horses

  2. When people say "exiles" in my experience they tend to mean the first generation in the 60s and 70s that fled due to political repression and they were practically kicked out (exiled). Later generations came mostly for economic opportunities and out of their own volition (which is fine, I don't believe you need to be literally fearing for your life to be allowed to immigrate)

Our parents experience fleeing the country and the indoctrination against communism is the reasoning for the leaning towards right wing policy.

Are Chileans and Germans against fascism because they were indoctrinated against it, or because they lived it?

You’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to pick a specific member of the family to harass and potentially lock up.

u/Few_Recording3486 8d ago

Ok, I pick Marco.

u/FlipWildBuckWild 8d ago

That’s the spirit! Polo.

Rubio certainly doesn’t sound like a traditional American name.

Either way what matters is he is another member of this regime that believe they are above the constitution. In other words TRAITORS.
