    He’s a cuban in the US, his family almost certainly owned slaves and hates the working class for taking their land and ‘making’ them flee or be judged by their former slaves.

    Its unsurprising he’s maga, he just didn’t realize gusanos aren’t white.

      Thanks for adding context. That does clarify why he waggled his face at the leopards’ mouths.

      Also, I believe his partner was drawn into all of this, too.

      This is really only true for Miami Cubans. Tampa Cubans (generally) came much earlier fleeing Bautista, and are MUCH more supportive of socialism than Miami Cubans (who, you’re right, came to the US because Castro had the nerve to take their plantations away).

        Pretty much the only ones that ‘fled cuba’ did so to avoid justice. Their families tend to be far right conservatives, since they were the ones overthrown.
