this guy is hispanic (probably Cuban)

Lots of Cuban anti-communists who came over in the wake of the revolution and made it their mission to support the most fanatical far-right candidates Florida had to offer. Consequently, a handful of these guys have made a ton of money working for the wealthy right-wing plutocrats that control the state, but everyone else has watched their quality of life disintegrate as the social foundations of Florida are dissolved by wave after wave of bigots and crooks in high office.

In another generation or two, we'll see the grandchildren of the Batista refugees rising up Castro-style.
