My mother-in-law escaped Cuba in 1965 with her family and whatever they could cram into 1 small suitcase. My father-in-law's brother was executed for helping people flee Castro's Cuba. I don't expect her to vote for anyone who speaks positively about Castro.
Are you speaking to me? Yes I know what was happening here in 1965 and so did my in-laws. They worked in factories and barely scraped by but they were free here. They were not free in Cuba and they were lucky to get out when they did.
You do understand why responding the way you have here is straight-up sociopathic behavior, right? No? Okay.
