My wife was told once you get out of Havana, it gets nicer. I'm sure they have some nice beaches etc., but generally, the capital city is nicer than the rest of the places.
Her "near commie friends" are very predictable, they simply mirror whatever story is consider "progressive" uncritically. They are the ones who told me they were afraid of being deported by Trump because they are "Jewish". I asked them if Trump would be deporting his daughter as well. That stumped them.
I dunno, I just find this mode some combination of amusing and annoying and prefer to be away from it, all the predictable signaling is just boring.
