"A decade ago, Forbes estimated Fidel Castro’s personal net worth at $900 million."

I'm sure most of that went to his sons (the ones that weren't Prime Minister of Canada).

It is entirely possible for the US government to have been implementing an awful policy for decades, and for Trump to be cranking it up to 13 and making things massively worse.
Most things aren't binary.

The extremity of the current administration's actions do not absolve the sins of others.
The extremity of the current administration's actions should not be ignored just because others did some things in a similar direction.
"Yawn, same shit different day" is how we sleepwalk ourselves into fascism.

Comments like that aren’t “sleepwalking”. They are complicit.

#9The person who wrote this never asked a Cuban immigrant how they felt about the government in Cuba. Many will tell you a story about how their family desperately escaped on a row boat, are lucky to be alive and blame Castro.
The bottom line is that many Cuban immigrants in the United States feel that the current government destroyed the country and should be removed and Marco Rubio’s quest to fix Cuba is a reflection of Cuban immigrants values.
