MODERATORS
Sometimes people born and raised under authoritarianism still support it even though they think the want and have freedom.
They were trained not to think and just follow when they hear the right "song" like Pavlov's dogs hearing a bell.
Well, that does make sense. They mostly voted for the guy who told them he was going to deport them.
"Some of them had been in the United States for decades and built families and businesses, but were removed because of an old criminal conviction — say, from Miami’s infamous cocaine cowboys days in the late 1970s and early 1980s."
- Marco Rubio much and his families connection.
Surely this will change their political viewpoints.
They being sent to Ecuador or Cuba?
