Because nazis are dumbfucks regardless of ethnicity
The Association of German National Jews, colloquially known as the “Jews for Hitler”, was a German Jewish organization during the Weimar Republic and the early years of Nazi Germany that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler. The organization was founded by Max Naumann, who was sent to a concentration camp after the rise of Hitler.
Their entire magazine membership was 6,000, presumably a bunch of those weren’t Jewish nor particularly aligned. This wasn’t a trend by any stretch.
Two things people forget:
- Spanish people were the first Europeans to colonize the Americas, setting the precedent for the violence and discrimination which has continued for the last 500 years.
- The longest lasting Fascist country in Europe was Spain, which was fascist from 1939-1975.
Portugal’s fascist regime lasted from 1933 to 1974. It was 5 years longer than Spain’s.
Portuguese are just confused Spaniards in the same way that Belgians are confused Frenchies.
Cubans in Florida pushing for Trump was not on my bingo card, for sure.
I also remember seeing “general chat lobby” spammers switching from the boilerplate racism tropes to Portuguese and learning about Brazilian troll farms.
A lot of Miami-based Cubans are VERY anti anything socialist/communist. All you’ve really got to do is say you’re fighting “those socialists trying to take over” and it’s a tragically easy way to win that vote.

the biggest flaw in communist theory is the “temporary dictatorship” part…
it turns out, temporary dictators never willingly stop being dictators…
I agree. Any transition away from capitalism should not involve a dictator.
The “dictatorship of the proletariat” is just a stupid name for the transitional period. It’s not supposed to be an actual dictatorship, but unfortunately Marx was a little drama queen from time to time…
They fled from a country that’s been communist for over 60 years and they’re not big fans of communism you say? Weird.
A lot of the established Cuban community in Miami are the children of wealthy Cubans who fled during the revolution. So yeah they fled communism but maybe not for the reason you meant.
They fled Cuba after Bastilles fall and Cubas oppression from the communists so it makes some, unfortunate, sense that they support the orange man.
Most Hispanic people are highly balkanized and consider themselves to be “the good hispanics”.
They are ripe to adopt fascism because their identity was forged by a system of Spanish-Catholic authoritarianism.
I wouldn’t say most, but there’s still a relevant part of the country that thinks that way. However, the young Spaniard generations are way more radicalised to the left, maybe to be reactionary. In any case, all the left powers have united quite tightly against the extreme right, so there’s that I guess.
I once suddenly saw a Harley motorcycle parked in central Mexico in front of a bar. It was painted. It had swastikas all over, a buste painting of Hitler on the gas tank and a whole lot more third riech shit.
I decided to wait out the Arian asshole that would take it for a spin but imagine my surprise when this tiny very dark skinned indigenous guy somewhere in his 50s walks out wearing a jacket with Goebels painted on the back, he jumpy up the motor cycle and takes off.
The guy would have been at the front of the line to the showers, but whatever. I’m always really impressed with people not knowing basic history.
Reminds me as well, I once saw (also in a Mexican store) mein kampf right next to Anne Frank’s diary, “because they’re about the same subject matter”
Did I mention that one time while playing paintball with mexican police, one of the officers takes off his shirt and he’s full American history X with the swastika and some SS tattoos on his chest?
Yeah mexico needs to uppen it’s education about WWII
