The conquest of Cuba has been a goal of American nationalists for over a hundred years. The political excuses concocted during the cold war directly stemmed from Cubas economic domination by the American mainland and the resulting popular revolution in response to the looting of the country. Since Cuba left the American sphere of influence, conservatives have turned hatred of Cuba into an identity issue and base a lot of their propaganda on half truths about Cuba and Venezuela. Domination over the Americas is considered critical by American nationalists who view their neighbors as objects to be controlled and looted.
Who needs Florida when you have Texas. But seriously, enjoy the irrelevance Florida. May the electoral college drown in an extremely humid, swampy hell.
