I grew up and lived through the Castro revolution in Miami.
Most of the folks were Castro sympathizers.

The US government would raid small airfields in S. Fla and stop trafficking arms shipments to Fidel. Much to the dismay of the populace.

It wasn’t long after Castro took over his true colors came out.
Several of my classmates had relatives in the Cuban Army that were executed. Thousands were .

It's always been amazing to me the love affair the Hollywood left has with Che Guevara...

Thug, killer, mass murder of thousands , torturer of little boys...

They PROUDLY wear his icon...

Thanks for the post! Great to hear from an eye-witness.

I’m curious though...once his true colors came out, was there not something of a ‘turn-around’ of attitude? (I’d guess especially amongst your classmates, yes?)

I seem to recall Miami’s Cubans being described as fairly(?), if not staunchly anti-commie.

Went to HS in S. Florida, but haven’t lived there in many moons.
