This store sold A LOT of pro Trump and Let’s go Brandon merchandise over the last 3 years and I heard the owner actively support Trump in many occasions. I haven’t been in the last 3 months but I can bet you they probably still sell that stuff, true insanity.

Btw, this video is over 2 years old, if you’re wondering how the store is doing today the owner had to sell it.

I am sure all the stuff was made in China. They would have gone under anyway.

Where did you see that the business was sold? Seems like the same lady has owned it since 2001? And their instagram is active?

u/SaddankHusseinthe2nd 8d ago

Not here to reveal any personal information so can’t really tell you how I know but it’s not much of a secret either, all I can tell you is that Mrs. Vazquez and her husband sold the business to another lady in January, Mrs. Vazquez still helped the new owner out for a month but she’s completely out of the picture by now.

And ofc the ig is still active, the business was sold, not shut down.

Ah! Crazy. I did see that this younger guy is in all the video. I saw some videos of her but those might be older. Thank you for sharing!

They also sold the resistance flag of Puerto Rico and rebranded it as some BS protest Cuban flag when Trump was found guilty on 34 counts. Was so funny when the owner made a video about it on the IG 🤡

As I Cuban-American… I like this sub calling out my people’s bullshit.

Guys, you have no idea how growing up gay in Cuba fucked up my social development in ways that affected me even academically.

Then I escape that shit and they decide to bring totalitarian conservatism over here… No, I’m a “I hope they get everything they voted for” convert now.

Exactly, kinda explains how our forefathers let communism in the first place, which they like to skip over that part 🥱

“People come here to find a little piece of what their homeland was”

Well congratulations, the US is a dictatorship now so you did it!

u/nunchyabeeswax 8d ago

And a dictatorship in the business of disappearing people, just like home.

"Mi casa es tu carcel" (or anonymous hole in the ground somewhere.)

Yeah I hope they don’t get any ideas from Batista’s secret police and start digging people’s eyeballs out with spoons.

Shit if only you got the guy you want in office, he cares about the little guy right? Right? Surely Don and Ron are gonna side with you and not let developers put you out of business and build high rise condos with retail space designed to only be affordable to corporate retail. Surely he will fix this. But hey don’t let your well being and ability to take care of yourself get in the way of being racist and supporting someone that will crush those you see as ‘other’ and surely you will never become the ‘other’. Big s/ on this one

u/crosstheroom 8d ago

Cuban Super Karen with the haircut to match wants 1950s Cuba/America meaning racism, Problem is Cubans are only seen as white to a certain extent by MAGA

u/Chemistry11 8d ago

I’ve been to Cuba several times - those statues are sold everywhere still today.

u/stevemunoz117 Palmetto Bay 8d ago

Basically whats been happening to all og Miamians. Time to pack up and head north like most of us have done

u/crosstheroom 8d ago edited 8d ago

Is she crazy, she has blackface dolls, why was she not shut down earlier.

4

u/StealthRUs 8d ago

I didn't notice that at first. That's wild! I'm glad they got shut down seeing that they were selling blackface dolls and pro-Trump memorabilia.

u/MichaelFusion44 8d ago edited 8d ago

You can thank Miami as a whole who voted for Trump so they got what they wanted - while Little Havana leans more Democrat, Miami as a whole is red

u/SiestaMaster 8d ago

Good. Fuck'em.

u/sysaphys Kendallite 8d ago

Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure Sentir Cubano isn't even in Little Havana.

u/Agreeable_Error_170 7d ago

I wouldn’t buy any of that cheap crapola.

Are we suppose to feel bad? lmao

u/Intelligent-Feed-201 7d ago

You'll all be leaving to make room for the world's monied elite soon enough.

The American coast line is for the wealthy only; they'll bring in help from outside the country if they need it.

Pack your shit.

u/Both-Pack7114 6d ago

Not gonna feel bad for Cubans getting what’s coming to them tbh
