I voted for Trump as a new American in 2016. Here's why I'll do it again in 2020

    Now here's a reality check! You don't even have to be in favor of Trump. Will anyone listen:

    You really think this will change any Democrats or undecideds opinion? LOL

    Cubans are always trotted out for their loyal support of the GOP, but Cuba's destiny is the fault of America's continued meddling ever since the 19th century. The favored status of Cuban refugees has always been a sore point for other Hispanics, but their political prowess has been able to silence critics. Cubans are the perfect shill for Republicans, and I say that as a Cuban-American.

    I believe that it will be difficult for most native Americans to really understand because we were born with the freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, etc. It's hard to conceptualize a life that is so drastically different from what one has always known as inalienable rights.

    Great...

    I have anecdotal evidence that many "New American" 2016 Trump Voters are switching to Bat Boy in 2020.

    No, but it is apparantly easy to see how at least one refugee from a country like that can recognize a cult of personality and embrace it.

    Just as it will be difficult for hispanics from Mexico and central America to relate to a Cuban who received automatic citizenship without having to do anything.

    "Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to." And in that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth. - A TIME FOR CHOOSING (The Speech – October 27, 1964) - Ronald Reagan
