2. It's infuriating watching it happen, over and over. Maybe they are afraid to become targeted if they don't suck up.

We do know the Cuban hard-right reactionaries used true, serious violence against moderate Cubans as soon as they started coming to the US right after the revolution by the Cuban population in 1960 onward.

I have always hated Senator Robert Menendez for his stand against the people of Cuba while pretending to be a Democrat. What a fraud and dirtbag.

I also abhor Debbie Wasserman-Schultz for backing Republican Congress critters from Florida in supporting the embargo and travel ban, etc. Shameful.

Can't imagine how long it's going to take Cuban-Americans to get over the choice made by the real CubanTh people in seeking to be independent from outside governments, from being owned by the corporations and military of the US. They have sought their own government since the days of slavery in Cuba. It's time the US backs off, and treats them with the respect they certainly deserve. Anything short of that is tyrannical, and childish.
