I’m not a student of Cuba, but it seems to be that they would be ripe for a democratic takeover of the government.

That would be a great reason to normalize relations.

“I’m not a student of Cuba, but it seems to be that they would be ripe for a democratic takeover of the government.”

Unfortunately, a very large % of the Good People of Cuba have come to America since the 1960’s. Those left are for the most part, multi generational socialists dependent on a socialist government. Many Cubans in Cuba, if not most would be lost in a democratic government dependent on capitalism.

The same thing happened when East Germany folded in to West Germany. Everyone predicted what a great economic boom that was for Germany. It wasn’t, and there is still a problem with some of the older leftover socialist Germans from East Germany.
