  • Articles like this are exhausting. Yes. The answer is yes. Will it happen? Drum roll... No. It won't happen. Need evidence? Look at the United States government.

  • Why Does Steve Witkoff Keep Taking Russia’s Side? Trump’s envoy isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin.

  • I'm tired of these questions by journalists. Instead, change it to a statement: Why Steve Witkoff Sides with Russia.

  • 100%. I left Florida in 99. Returned briefly in 2004 and left for good in 2009. I happen to be here visiting my parents now. Thankfully they live in the Florida Keys.

    I hate this state.

  • It's not entirely inaccurate. My great-grandfather was known as The Sugar King. On the other side of the family, my other great granddad worked for PepsiCo LatAm. They made inside deals.

    My family were insanely wealthy back in Cuba until they fled here. I can trace my heritage back to the 1300s and before on that side of the family. My maternal namesake ancestor was the first mayor/alcalde of Habana and received his name "Sotolongo" from King Ferdinand & Isabella. There is a town named after him north of the Portuguese border.

    The 70s and 80s produced the Peter Pan and the Mariel boat lifts where Castro released his worst criminals and people from insane asylums to flee here and elsewhere. It was all fucked.

  • That's not why they're the way they are. I've expounded on the topic at length before on Lemmy. My family and people are tainted by The Bay of Pigs. They fled Fidel for the US and lost everything they owned in Cuba. That created the bitterness toward Communism and Socialism.

    The Bay of Pigs created their hatred for the Dems. The brainwashing was a result of the freedom fighters having their US support removed last minute, leaving them to be killed or jailed. Congress voted to remove support after Kennedy promised it. The brainwashing was around Kennedy doing it intentionally when in reality it was the Republican led Congress and Senate.

  • There's a strange duality of living or coming from the South in the US, and presumably, other places with extreme prejudice. Words or phrases get used like water such that they are etched into your mind, causing an almost Pavlovian response mechanism to trigger, despite one's true feelings.

    It's almost like a game Red light, Green light, but for awfulness. I haven't lived in the South for decades, and on occasion, a hateful word will pop out of a dark hole in my head even though my real thoughts and actions run counter to it.

    I can sort of understand his stance, but being aware of it is enough, at least to me, to fix it. Anything other than that is intentional malice.

  • This is my uncle, except instead of redneck, he's Cuban and die-hard GOP. He also hates my part of the family because we caught him, his daughter, and fiancée stealing from my dying grandmother despite him being her caretaker.

    He did an amazing job at caring for her while also snatching valuables because he knew he'd have to share when she died.
