I’m pretty sure it’s anyone who believes in the ongoing climate catastrophe.

To Florida, overdevelopment is not about protecting wetlands or beaches. In Florida when someone talks about over development they are referring to all the new people moving there.
The other person’s comment is about how the snow bird that bought their house last week is complaining about the snow bird that just bought the neighbors house.
I used to live in Florida for 33 years.
It’s the same logic as Latinos who’ve been in the US wanting to pull up the ladder and get rid of the new Latinos.

I’m pretty sure it’s from this novel, but I could be wrong.
MacDonald was talking about the environment long before the first Earth Day.

Almost 60% of Cuban-Americans voted for Trump, the second time…
CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Do we know why? I have a friend who is Cuban and voted for Trump, but my reason for him is lack of education. What about everyone else?
RBWells@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I grew up with the kids of the original set of Cuban refugees and thought it was because they were the rich people fleeing Castro. So they were already aligned with the right here,they like the idea of being on the upper side of a class divide.
The newer ones may just be anti -abortion, there are a lot of those “single issue voters” everywhere not just here.

It is amazing how the single issue voters choose the party that blatantly lies about their single issue.

Additionally there are a lot of people who choose to remain ignorant about Batista. A communist revolution overthrowing an objectively brutal regime really gets the right wingers on the defensive.

Because this image is burned into their minds whenever they think of Democrats. This happened under Clinton.

This, Janet Reno did more to help the Republicans than any actual Republican.

He was from Cuba, his father was in Cuba, his uncle was in the USA and wanted to keep him here. He needed to be returned to his father but it should’ve been via negotiation. The raid was not the way to go. IIRC Janet Reno just got impatient with diplomacy?

they make the jump that the left = communism and that they’ve already lived
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Have they seen how far right our left is?
I would vote for communism or most socialism either, but our left really has to move back to the left
Gonzako@lemmy.world 1 month ago
they do not care. these are convictions set by scars making them easily swayed to alt-right talking points
