Maybe, if the media decides to show it, people in camps with numbers on their foreheads may cause some (too little, too late, people are dead) sober second thought.

I hope so. I wonder if social media might actually help here. It's much harder to suppress stuff like that since everyone's got a camera with them all the time, and it can be shared even if it's not shown on major media.
I think we're going to see some big realignments happening, as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy. Hard to say for sure until we're years out looking back, but it doesn't seem like that's a temporary shift.
I find it darkly humorous that neolibs shot themselves in the foot so hard by trying to make an easy election for themselves in 2016. The sort of twist you'd expect from Game of Thrones or something.
The Democratic party needs to cease to exist...
Cubans come from an Authoritarian country, Dems pikachu-face when they vote for Authoritarianism.
Oh what a world...
That's a generalization and infantilizing. Let's try to not do that about groups of people here.
I'm trying to do low-touch moderation in this comm and haven't had to really do anything yet, and I'd like to keep it that way. I think what I'm going to try to do is leave comments up that aren't straight terrible and respond like this to steer conversation in a better direction when possible. I mostly don't want to ban people, unless they're repeatedly contributing nothing of value.
Your comment was the first one that's on the edge since this still a pretty small comm, so don't take it personally. This is just what's been floating around in my head.
I also realize the irony of my complaining about "neolibs" as a group of people in another comment in this same thread. I could stand to do better there, but I also see a difference in generalization based on immutable characteristics vs political opinions
Not sure Cubans are considered Latino
