In real time, the Cuban people are fighting for their liberation and freedom. Cubans have gone to the streets; they're now taking a stance against a communist, repressive regime that has subjected them to tyranny for six decades.

The response from the Cuban government only highlights the real danger of communism. The communist regime responded to protests from its people by cutting off internet access, electricity, water, and more. Some Cubans have even been put to death for daring to stand against an evil, crushing communist regime.

Across the world, protests are happening as people stand in support of the Cuban people's freedom. However, as Republicans here in America also back the Cuban protesters, Democrats are either hesitating to speak out or outrightly condoning the communist regime in Cuba.

Differences in reactions to Cuban protests

Republicans here in the states have made it very clear that right-wing support rests with the Cuban people. Conservative leaders, such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, are writing to President Biden, calling on him to help restore internet access to Cuban citizens. Support for the Cuban people has also taken place in the form of peaceful protests throughout several states across the nation.

It's a completely different story amongst Democrats, however. Many Democrats who have supported either communist figures, communist policies, or both are now silent. Meanwhile, certain leftist organizations, such as Black Lives Matter, have outrightly expressed support for --- not the Cuban people --- but instead, the Cuban communist regime.

Earlier in the week, former Vice President Mike Pence called out Democrats for this. Pence slammed the political left for their hesitancy to criticize their communist allies in Cuba. Furthermore, Pence made clear that conservatives firmly back the Cuban people's calls for democracy, freedom, and liberty.

Many conservatives here in America also noted the Cuban people waving U.S. flags as symbols of freedom.

Downplaying the Cuban protests

Many of the Democrats to speak out about Cuban protesters have feigned as if these demonstrations are about matters other than freedom from communist oppression.

Certain leftists want to think Cubans are taking to the streets due to COVID vaccine shortages or other matters. However, this is far from the case, as Republicans have pointed out.

Another unfortunate reality is Democrats' work to avoid using the word "communism" when mentioning the Cuban government.
