"A scalded cat will run from cold water."
I think some Cubans who escaped from Castro's regime behave like scalded cats. They hear the word "socialist" attached to the Dems and think that Biden, if elected, will innitiate a regime like Castro's.
In fact, with their policies of voter suppression, and manipulation of the DOJ, it's the GOP that are trying to lead the US away from a full-on democracy. The Dems are fighting at a local level to allow everyone to vote, the very reverse of totalitarianism.

This guy sounds sincere, but I suspect that he is a scalded cat too; he appears to be suggesting that Biden will lead the US down a totalitarian path, which is surely an unrealistic prediction. I listened to his speech until about 1:40, when he says that "Trump is a family man... our Commander in Chief, who puts America first..." Both of those statements are false: Trump is a serial adulterer who puts himself first.

Is this a commonly held opinion in Germany? All my reading, and several visits to the divided Germany suggest the opposite: The political division, and in particular the Berlin Wall, were hated by both sides from the outset.

What about dividing the USA into north and south? I think this would solve many problems.

They tried that in the 1860s, but after 4 years of slaughter and 360,000 dead, they decided against it I believe.
