State Senator Ileana Garcia, who is Cuban American, said the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis was “abhorrent.”

I swear to god the Cuban-Americans are, as a population in aggregate, just overwhelmingly idiotic and gullible reactionaries. They fall for the stupidest, most thinly veneered Republican bullshit every. fucking. time. It’s genuinely hilarious to me that they’re surprised by this. I am completely unable to summon empathy for a population that has voted staunchly against their own interests so consistently, for fucking DECADES.

Someone’s probably gonna read that as racist - it’s not. It’s dismayed exhaustion and fatigue that a population that is very much a member of an ethnic group that tends to be targeted by actual racists and white supremacists in the US are somehow under the impression that they’re a special exception to the rule, and consistently support and vote for policies and candidates that essentially are saying “we are going to hurt your population”. If they did it once, or a few times, and then were like “oh fuck maybe this is not the party we want to support” - but no, they keep coming back for more. I am entirely incapable of sympathizing with people who absolutely, categorically, demonstrably incapable of learning.
