      probably even more susceptible due to language barrier and perhaps not fully comprehending what’s being said or written… especially by this administration.

        This is very common in communities like Florida and Cuban inmigrants. With Republican commentary about communist this and socialist that all the time, and of course the native Cuban experiences… It’s a perfect melting pot of misinformation preying on personal experience and lies absolutely everywhere making it difficult to see any truth.

      In my experience, my immigrant community are easily swayed by anticommunist sentiment.

      The representative for the district near me (Derek Tran) narrowly won preaching to the vietnamese immigrant community how anti Communist he was. While simultaneously being on the left (which isn’t a high bar, he wants to do the radical thing of no price gouging and fighting big pharma).
