When her parents became US citizens, they registered as Republicans. \u201cWe hated Kennedy,\u201d she told me, referring to the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 that led many exiles to permanently abandon the Democratic Party.\u00a0<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingandmortgagehub.com\/?p=1347\">New York Tackles the Myth That Solar Is Swallowing Farmland<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Laurencio, a retired anesthesiologist who now lives in Miami, followed in her parents\u2019 footsteps, happily supporting the Republican ticket, from Ronald Reagan to both George Bushes. In 2015, excited at the prospect of having the first Cuban-American president, she volunteered for Marco Rubio\u2019s presidential campaign, phone banking and canvassing for him in Miami. \u201cHe was not radical at the time,\u201d she told me. She liked his pro-immigrant and anti-communist views, and his public dislike\u2014back then\u2014of Donald Trump. \u201cI never liked him, not even when he was a TV star,\u201d she told me about Trump. \u201cI really couldn\u2019t conceive that he would be president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But when Rubio lost the primary, Laurencio knew she had only one option if she wanted to stop Trump from winning: Vote for Hillary Clinton. When Trump won, Laurencio says she cried. Surely, she thought, the GOP would not support Trump after his first term in office, punctuated by a flurry of scandals like the impeachment hearings, the separation of thousands of families at the US-Mexico border, and his administration\u2019s haphazard response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But when the Republican Party backed Trump once again, Laurencio had enough. She registered as a Democrat and voted for Joe Biden. Then came Trump\u2019s denial of the results of the election, the January 6 insurrection, Biden\u2019s presidency, and Trump\u2019s shocking return. In 2024, she voted for Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, her decision to switch parties withered ties with friends and family members. She noticed fewer invitations to dinners or other social gatherings. \u201cWe continue to be friends, but I notice the coldness,\u201d she told me. \u201cI felt very distraught and alone because I had lost my community.\u201d Then a supportive neighbor showed her a letter to the editor that had appeared in the <em>Miami Herald<\/em>, written by a group called Cuban American Women Supporting Democracy. Reach out to them, the neighbor suggested.<\/p>\n<p>When she attended her first meeting in 2019, Laurencio was relieved to find a group of like-minded women. \u201cI could express myself and not be looked at as some kind of weirdo or communist, like they all say,\u201d she told me. \u201cI didn\u2019t leave the Republican party. The Republican party left me. It\u2019s not the party of Reagan or George Bush.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, she is part of Cuban American Women Supporting Democracy, a nonpartisan organization that since its officialfounding in 2023 has championed immigration reform, opposed the book ban in the Miami-Dade County school district, supported abortion rights, voting access, and various local and state political candidates. Their members attend protests, including at the notorious Alligator Alcatraz immigrant detention facility, as well as school board meetings. In 2024, they mailed thousands of cards to eligible voters, urging them to support Amendment 4, the failed ballot initiative to preserve the right to an abortion in Florida, which now has a six-week ban.<\/p>\n<p>What started as a WhatsApp group chat among a few acquaintances during Trump\u2019s first term has now grown into a network of about 250 members, many of them, as their name suggests, Cuban women. Miami-Dade County residents are heavily represented, but some members reside elsewhere in Florida. While many of them are lifelong Democrats, others like Laurencio are former Republicans who broke with their party over support of Trump. They are largely retired professionals\u2014ranging in age from the mid-60s to the mid-80s\u2014and include company executives, business owners, engineers, doctors, and published authors. One trait they all share is that they are a minority within the Cuban exile community, which for decades has generously supported the Republican Party, including President Donald Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a sea of red, the blue dots congregate,\u201d said Carolina Camps, president of the group, known by its acronym, CAWSD (pronounced CAUSED). Camps described how effectively, when so many people felt disconnected from others who agreed with them politically, the word-of-mouth process worked. \u201cIt was friends of friends of friends, and then beyond that. Now we\u2019ve got people who just hear about it and want to join because they feel at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to let the community know,\u201d Camps added, \u201cnot all Cubans are MAGA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>I first heard <\/span>about CAWSD when I was covering the end of humanitarian parole protections for Cubans, Venezuelans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans. At a press conference in Miami, one of their members called on Republicans \u201cwho believed Trump\u2019s promise to deport immigrants did not include their loved ones, to raise their voices in protest and total disregard for human life.\u201d As the daughter of a Cuban exile and a Miamian myself, I was struck by her words.I\u2019m all too familiar with the deep ties between Cubans and the Republican Party. Seeing a Cuban speaking out against the GOP so publicly got my attention.<\/p>\n<p>I spoke to several members of the group in a Zoom call in April. During our first meeting, they shared stories about what drew them together. Like Laurencio, many felt shunned by their families and social circles. Rosemary Ravinal, a speaker coach living in Miami, recounted how, shortly after Trump won the 2016 election, a cousin asked, \u201cAren\u2019t you happy we won?\u201d She hasn\u2019t spoken to that cousin since. \u201cThere was an assumption that because I\u2019m Cuban, automatically my vote was going to be Republican,\u201d she said. \u201cSo there was a great sense of isolation for me after that first term.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, she heard Carolina Camps being interviewed on a local radio station, and Ravinal decided to reach out. \u201cThere was a sense of really being so cornered, not being able to talk among my brethren, my people,\u201d Ravinal recalled, \u201cthat I felt that finally, there was a little bit of sunlight and a possibility that I could make a difference in terms of shaping issues and moving the community forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>Even as the<\/span> women of CAWSD have rallied against the policies of the Trump administration, among the Cuban exile community support for Republicans has grown\u2014especially over the last decade, according to the Cuba Poll, which Florida International University conducts, regularly surveying Cuban Americans living in Miami-Dade County.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the , for instance, conducted before the presidential election, 35 percent of Cuban Americans said they would vote for Trump. In , the most recent poll conducted, that percentage nearly doubled to 68 percent. Meanwhile, support for Democratic candidates dwindled: In 2016, 31 percent of Cuban-Americanvoters polled said they would support Hillary Clinton. In 2024, only 23 percent said they would vote for Kamala Harris.\u00a0<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingandmortgagehub.com\/?p=1344\">Rep. Max Miller\u2019s Withdrawal Window Closes in Six Days<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I asked historians and political analysts what dynamics had turned the Cuban- exile community into such a GOPmonolith. History points to a few key events, they said. Many Cubans of a previous generation lost faith in the Democratic Party following President Kennedy\u2019s decision in the midst of the failed Bay of Pigs operation to pull back support to overthrow Fidel Castro\u2019s regime. The Republican Party took advantage of this sentiment when Cubans began to pursue US citizenship following the passage of the Cuban Adjustment Act in 1966, which created a pathway to legalization for them.Spanish-speaking GOP officials attended naturalization ceremonies, passing out pamphlets congratulating newly minted citizens and inviting them to register as Republicans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The GOP recruited sons and daughters of the original emigr\u00e9s into their political ranks, which led to the rise of prominent political figures such as Trump\u2019s Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the first Cuban American elected to Congress. \u201cCertainly, the Republican Party earned the Cuba vote,\u201d said Guillermo Grenier, sociology professor at Florida International University and the lead author of the Cuba Poll. The Democratic Party\u2019s focus on social justice wasn\u2019t appealing to many Cubans, Grenier added, while the GOP spoke openly about ending communism. \u201cThey put boots on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But over the years, allegiance to the Republican Party has not been completely consistent. Many Cuban Americans supported Bill Clinton and later Barack Obama, for example, though that support waned, in large part, after his efforts to normalize relations with Cuba failed to create significant political changes on the island. \u201cWhen the Cuban government refused to engage in serious reforms, both economic and political, there was a huge disappointment in the Cuban American community,\u201d said Sebasti\u00e1n Arcos, interim director of the Cuban Research Institute at FIU. \u201cThe pendulum swung back and swung hard in the opposite direction.\u201d Cuban Americans were once more in the Republican fold.<\/p>\n<p>I asked Grenierif he thinks Trump\u2019s anti-immigrant agenda\u2014which has touched many Cuban families in the last year\u2014may pull more votes for Democratic candidates in future elections. ICE arrests of Cubans have increased to about 1,000 a month, according to the Cato Institute.Grenier thinks it\u2019s unlikely. \u201cI don\u2019t think that will happen. Now, they might stay home,\u201d he said. \u201cThey might not vote, and that might give an opportunity for some kind of leverage for the Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>On a recent <\/span>afternoon, I visited Laurencio at the Mediterranean-style home in Coral Gables, a historic and affluent city on the edge of Miami, where she lives with her husband, a retired ophthalmologist. Palm trees lined the pathway to the entrance, where Laurencio\u2019s orange tabby cat, Lotus, greeted me before Laurencio opened the front doors. We walked toward the kitchen, bathed in sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Bougainvillea bushes of orange and fuchsia could be seen on the pool patio. Laurencio\u2019s refrigerator, decorated with photos of family and cards, included a magnet that said in bold letters, \u201cIs it 2028 yet?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As we sat at her kitchen counter, nibbling on cookies and drinking Cuban coffee, more CAWSD members arrived until about five of them were there. They included two retired school counselors, Camps, who worked in sales for a pharmaceutical company, Laurencio, the retired anesthesiologist, and Annie Betancourt, a retired state representative who served in the Florida Legislature between 1994 and 2002.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seated on sofas and easy chairs around the family room, the women told me about the issues they have focused on in the last year. They\u2019ve attended the weekend vigils outside Alligator Alcatraz, which shut down in June, as well as joining other demonstrators outside the local ICE office. They\u2019ve helped secure donations for families of people who have been deported. The group has also mailed more than 50,000 postcards to voters with instructions on how to sign up for vote-by-mail. Betancourt, the former state representative, points out that one of the advantages of the group is that their members simply have time to engage with the issues. Most are retired, many with grown children. \u201cIt\u2019s the civic engagement component,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can stand in line, you can go, you can mobilize.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I asked what the Democratic Party is missing from their strategy to attract more Cuban voters. Betancourt, who had a front-row seat to internal political discussions for decades, called the Republican Party \u201cextremely focused and methodical.\u201d She saw how carefully theyselected candidates whothey believed had a strong chance of winning. Democrats have also failed to shake off the socialist label, which, in a city like Miami, is almost insulting, Laurencio said, adding that Democratic candidates need to be very direct and say on the record that they are not communist or socialist. \u201cYou cannot allow them to label you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Have they heard of any changes of heart among their Republican friends and family? Has anyone become disenchanted with MAGA? Was there anything during this second term that might have unsettled supporters of the president? <\/p>\n<p>Betancourt told the story of a call she had received just that morning from a Republican friend, a former CEO of a Miami company. He wanted to know her opinion of David Jolly, a Democratic candidate for Florida Governor. In a recent call, Laurencio\u2019s 50-year-old nephew told her he regretted havingsupported Trump. Laurencio, who listens to conservative Spanish radio shows in Miami, hears the dissent growing among callers who complain about inflation, high gas prices, and the current political state of Venezuela and Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>During our first interview, Camps told me about a Republican friend who had recently told her he was unhappy with the current state of the country. \u201cThey realize that it\u2019s their neighbors that are being deported, their gardeners are being deported,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that there\u2019s a softening.\u201d Then she added a cautionary note: \u201cNow, whether or not they will vote Democrat\u2014that\u2019s a whole different animal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No matter what the future elections bring, the women of CAWSD have built a foundation of solidarity, and even friendship. During our meeting, Esther De Varona, one of the retired counselors, jokingly said, \u201cGracias, Trump,\u201d evoking chuckles from the other women. She was alluding to the adage in communist Cuba, \u201cGracias, Fidel.\u201d Because of their mutual opposition to the current president, \u201cwe now have this fabulous network,\u201d she told me. \u201cIt\u2019s good to have, in a time of darkness and not a lot of positivity, that we have each other.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingandmortgagehub.com\/?p=1341\">Wesley Bell and Cori Bush Head for a Rematch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They are turning their backs on Trump\u2014and finding each other along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1348,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
