And Venezuelans don't have quite the presence to turn an election on their own.

Furthermore, even with the heavy Cuban population, Miami-Dade still always goes blue for presidential election. It's just a matter of turnout and by how much.

Well anti-"Socialist" and so anti-Democratic Party. He's got issues with Trump but sees him as a better alternative to any Democratic Party member because we're all Communists (Castro style) and he won't hold with that.

He is one of the most poorly informed people I know. He has no idea what Socialism is, how it works, why it took root in Venezuela. He can't explain the conditions that gave rise to Chavez. He can't understand or explain the corruption in Venezuela pre and post "Socialism". To him Venezuela was totally fine until Chavez showed up like some unholy Che Guevara-Castro love child and started eating babies on live TV which the people cheered about.

I know skewed people. I know conservative people, most of them can explain in detail what, why, and how, they think what they think. But not this guy, he is shockingly misinformed and subject to the most obvious and bad propaganda I've ever seen.

But weirdly he isn't into Q-Anon, go figure.
