Glam Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) When you live first hand what the left's ideas can become in their purest form, you tend to root for the other side regardless of their history. Edited January 19 by Glam 1

AMIT Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Conservatives have the monopoly on the political narrative in the media so just like many other people, most people from Cuba are taught to be conservative from a young age and vote against their own class interests. It's not something exclusive to Cubans even, although Cuba's historical record with the US has of course a heavy influence on that. American nationalism/patriotism is one hell of a drug; the closer you get to it, the harder it becomes to fight against it. 1
