I think they stick with him because he hates the same people as they do. What they don’t realize is that Donald Trump pretty much hates them too. He panders to them and grifts off of them. That’s not love.

Not just "pretty much." Sometimes, they are the exact people Trump hates:
Cruel irony for pro-Trump Cuban rapper... as ICE circles (DailyMail on X, May 24, 2025)

Pro-Trump Cuban Rapper "El Funky" Faces Deportation Under U.S. Crackdown (msn/poligilrsayswhat, May 24, 2025)
After fleeing Cuba in 2021 and settling in Miami, he applied for permanent residency under the Cuban Adjustment Act. But earlier this month, his application was denied. He now has less than 30 days to leave or face deportation and likely imprisonment in Cuba.
"What we want is for you to leave," a Cuban official told him at the airport. "You're not welcome here."
(...)
Ironically, Márquez Duany remains a staunch Trump supporter.
"If I could vote, I would have voted for Trump," he said. But as Trump reinstates hardline immigration policies, including efforts to end humanitarian parole, Márquez Duany's future hangs in the balance.
"I'm not going to shut up," he vows. "Going back puts my life in danger."

No, it doesn't, moron. You are much more likely to get shot in Miami than in La Habana.
But maybe you should consider coming up with a rap against oligarchy and deportations.

By the way, "What we want is for you to leave," sounds as much like fleeing as when Yunior García Aguilera showed his passport and ticket, got on a plane, flew to Madrid, and nobody tried to stop him.

While that is true, I must add that if he is in real and not imagined danger of imprisonment in Cuba, the likelihood of being shot in the street is not the point. Though I rather suspect if he was in that much danger he would have been imprisoned or worse rather than being allowed to leave in the first place. Still, even though Fidel is gone, I don't think Cuba is a very nice place to be sent back to.

Something about the designation "pro-Trump Cuban rapper" by itself seems a somewhat bizarre combination, just a bit this side of an invisible pink unicorn.

You really don't understand how trying to redefine words whose meaning has been universally understood since language was invented, and prioritising the feelings of the tiny number of males who object to being strip searched by males over those of the huge number of females who object to being strip searched by males, can be interpreted as reality denial on a level which makes its advocates unfit for public office?

And yes, I know that the reality denials of Trump, from climate change to tariffs, are far more numerous and harmful. But it's much easier to gaslight the underinformed into believing he is right about such things than that they are wrong about something they've instinctively understood since they learned to speak. Only a relatively unusual type of (well intentioned, desperate not to offend) mind can be gaslit about something as fundamental as the difference between the sexes.

Bundles of sticks. Like you might use to light a fire. If, say, you were a junior schoolboy tasked with being the personal servant of a senior boy at your traditional old-time boarding school. And when you set his bedroom fire every morning and attended to his other needs you and your ilk might become known by the same name as those bundles of sticks. And there's no sexual innuendo in any of this. Stop that sniggering at the back.

What there is, alas, is a fair amount of evidence that Potter swiped many of her stories from racially biased retellings of African-American folk tales by authors like Joel Chandler Harris. One is inclined to forgive Potter because she was so good at it, and a good story is a good story, but when you see it it's hard to unsee. I grew up with some of these, and as the parent of three, there was a time when I knew a few of them practically by heart, so I'm glad it never occurred to me then, as I would miss them, and many are ideal for reading aloud.
