Not sure if you’re trolling or not American. Miami has a sizable Cuban expat population who will forever vote republican after the fuckery that was the Bay of Pigs. It’s unique in that regard
The Bay of Pigs is such an odd thing to blame it on. I guess you’re saying they’re mad it failed and they and the rest of their right-wing monarchists didn’t get put back in power?
The Cuban population has been a dependable GOP voting box for decades. Cubans trend republican regardless of actual issues or stances because Kennedy (ie, the guy who authorized and ultimately botched the Bay of Pigs and was the reason a lot of them became expats in the first place) was a Democrat.
Dude. This is American history 101 and happened in a lot of our parent’s lifetimes. Travel outside your bubble sometime
How big is Miami? I thought I read somewhere there were no republican mayors of large cities.
It’s a big metropolitan region but the city proper isn’t huge.

I remember a lemmy post saying that republicans lost their only mayor of a +1 million city, and had assumed that Miami had a larger population than 400,000
