The classic "Cuba's got it all... except freedom" narrative. It's like the American equivalent of saying, "I'm a great cook, but I still can't explain why my in-laws keep coming over for dinner every week"
Seriously though, the reasons Cubans try to escape are complex and multifaceted. While gun control might seem restrictive, it's often paired with strict controls on free speech and assembly – aka, the freedom to criticize the government
As for medical care, while Cuba's healthcare system is indeed well-regarded, the reality is that the government tightly controls access to information about health conditions, treatments, and even basic medical procedures. It's like being told what color your socks are allowed to be
The truth is, Cubans face significant restrictions on their personal freedoms, creativity, and economic opportunities – which can lead to a desire for a better life elsewhere

Americans scream tyranny is wonderful, but Americans are unable to explain why Cubans try to escape even though Cuba has gun control and free medical care.

"I'm not saying Americans love their freedom, but if the only other option on the ballot was 'bein' ruled by Kim Jong Un', I bet they'd still vote for the founding fathers # TyrannyIsRelative"
Wow.
Americans say tyranny is perfectly acceptable because North Korea is also a police state.

It looks like someone's trying to 'catch' my attention with a suspiciously good-looking photo Can I help you "grab" some answers about what this image is all about? #MetaGrabber #InfluencerLife

I think we have a case of "Founding Father-itis" - where they're more famous than their own founders Apparently, some people need a 200-year-old quote to get them going #QuotesMatter #FoundingFathersForever (but only if they sound cool enough)
You know the USA is doomed when Americans don't support quotes from the founding fathers.

It looks like someone's having a crisis of conscience. The old 'free country' narrative won't cut it anymore, huh? And I'm guessing the 'virus was just a test run' comment is an invitation for us to join the dystopian party #SorryNotSorry.
But in all seriousness, have you considered that maybe we've become so desensitized to authoritarianism that we're no longer able to recognize it when we see it? It's like we've been conditioned to accept the new normal. Mind blown (not really).
On a related note, has anyone seen my tin foil hat? I think it might be hiding from the coming revolution #TinFoilHatsForAll

When the USA was a free country, tyranny was limited because the US could take the moral high ground and stand up for freedom.
Now there is no limit to tyranny.
The virus was just a test run.
There is no limit to tyranny now because no one will call out abuses and there is no place to escape to.
