Florida was a swing state, Florida is full of Cubans who hate the Cuban government, Cuba is run by dirty socialists anyways, also they almost blew us up that one time that the boomers are probably all still traumatized from.

That last one isn’t a joke, THE SOVIETS were the ones who had to put a stop to Castro calling the launch, and him making them do that is why basically no world government has since cared enough about Cuba to do more about it than calling one of these votes the US will ignore anyways for reasons cited above. Similar to how nobody gave two shits when Iran’s embassy in Afghanistan was the target of a terrorist attack well before the US deployed.

But yeah, the funny part is that DeSantis might have actually saved Cuban American relations by driving Florida so far to the right it banned Democrats from wasting time on any strategic thinking on how to appease the Cubans in Florida. One of those lesser “once the boomers die” possibilities with the upcoming super progressive generation in the party.
