    These people aren’t trying to create communism in America, the older generation fled because communism was making society more equal, and they stood to lose, and are the most right-wing mfs you’ll ever meet.

    This applies a little less to the ones who fled after Reagan offered US citizenship and were mostly criminals who chose America over prison.

    And not at all to the ones who fled during the 90s, fleeing famine after the USSR collapsed and the US wanted to make an example out of Cuba.

        Correct, but Rubber Duck was implying the people fleeing Cuba were communists trying to recreate conditions of Cuba.

        But no, they’re absolutely not trying to get everyone healthcare and housing and a constitutional amendment securing LGBT+ rights.
