It sure has been quiet the last few days among the “democratic socialist” crowd.
Bernie Sanders, who can’t shut up about much of anything most of the time, seems to have lost his tongue and his Twitter. Ditto for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow commie-harpies in the Squad.
Why do you think that is?
One would imagine the fact that one of the American Left’s pet regimes, that which governs the enslaved island of Cuba, is on the verge of toppling might have something to do with it.
The Cuban people, a quarter of whom have gotten the hell out of there since Castro stormed the capital, are Upsetting the Narrative.
It’s been a really interesting weekend in Cuba, as massive demonstrations have broken out all over the island and the Castroite government there has threatened to put them down with violence.
The outbreak of protest led to one of the more bizarre news leads, which landed the New York Times under a pile of ridicule:
Shouting “Freedom” and other anti-government slogans, hundreds of Cubans took to the streets in cities around the country on Sunday to protest food and medicine shortages, in a remarkable eruption of discontent not seen in nearly 30 years.
