For the 32nd year, the entire world voted at the UN General Assembly to demand an end to the illegal US embargo against Cuba. The USA and Israel opposed the international community in a vote of 187 to 2.
This was so fucked up. I know presidents shouldn’t be able to set things in stone, but it shouldn’t be so easy for a petty president to just undo the all last ones things just cause they’re a thin skinned bitch
Soooo wtf are these Cubans thinking? These embargoes hurt the people in Cuba. So Cubans in Florida are basically Republican women? As in, they’d gladly hurt those like them as long as they can feel superior?
Its the “pull up the ladder” phenomenon. You even see it in places you wouldn’t expect, like US workers opposing student loan forgiveness proposals because they had to pay, and want to make damn sure everyone else has to go through the pain that they did.
I watched an immigrant buy the house across the street and turn it into a compound, build a business with undocumented folk he kept in campers outside his house, and now that its established he ditched the campers, flys Trump flags, and advocates for mass deportation.
The continuing American embargo on Cuba after the Cold War has always been toddler tantrum level of pettiness.
I thought Obama had finally closed that chapter, but I was wrong.
Obama had started. But Trump reversed.

Absolutely. See also: increasingly conservative Mexicans in US border states who support building a wall.

The “I got mine” mentality is strong.

The Cuban refugees were mostly supporters of the Batista regime, owners of sugar plantations, etc.
