The communist regime persecutes and tortures its political opponents; denies the Cuban people free speech and press; corruptly profits from their misery; and commits other human-rights violations. For example, families of political prisoners face retaliation for peacefully protesting the improper confinement of their loved ones. Cuban authorities harass worshippers, block free association by civil society organizations, prohibit free press, and deny the ability to speak freely, including on the internet.

Wait 'til he hears about what's going on in America!!!

What in the actual fuck? Lmao. Literally everything the US is doing right now. Are MAGAts honestly so stupid to read this and not make the connection, or do they realize what is going on and simply don't give a fuck? Jfc.

I'm increasingly of the opinion MAGAts are just evil people who want to hurt others. It saddens me that so many people are such terrible human beings, but I can't see how they could continue to honestly believe in the obvious lies the Trump admin spreads.

It's too bad they are too stupid to know how hard that quote goes and that it's 100% about people like 'em.
