Why 'Comrade Kamala' memes are spreading among Latino exiles

… historically, Latinos have tended to favour the Democrats. ..But polls suggest Republicans have gained ground this election cycle, with many factors cited including the economy, immigration, and abortion rights.
…
Elon Musk, who has endorsed Trump, posted a faked image of Kamala Harris in a red uniform emblazoned with the communist hammer and sickle, captioned “Kamala vows to be a communist dictator on day one. Can you believe she wears that outfit!?”
…
Posts linking Harris to communism really took off online after the presidential debate, according a report by the DDIA prepared for the BBC.
During the debate, Donald Trump called Kamala Harris and her father a “Marxist” and suggested she would turn the US into “Venezuela on steroids” through her immigration policies.
After the debate, “Marxista” trended on social media and searches for "Marxist" on Google in the US jumped 1000% in 17 hours.
…
Kamala Harris’s plan to crackdown on “price gouging” at supermarkets has been cited in Spanish social media posts as “communist”. …
Her proposal, which would involve asking the trade commission to investigate price spikes far above the increase in the cost of production, is a far cry from the widespread price controls seen in Cuba and Venezuela that were in part blamed for severe food shortages.
But for some voters who fled those countries, their fear lies in anything they feel remotely resembles policies from the countries they came from.
Duke Machado, who runs a Latino Republican Facebook page from Texas called Latino Strikeforce, said he fears that if the Democrats win, the country would be on a slippery slope to communism.
“If we’re not careful, we’ll slide into Cuba and Venezuela. Their ultimate goal is to destroy capitalism."

We can be cautiously optimistic. But act like this is ‘16 when Hillary was leading in the polls.

Thankfully, Hitlery lost then. And I hope Commielaw is shown the door this November.

Listening to Tyrus on Gutfeld and others. In 2016 and 2020, President Trump was down in the polls to Hitlery and Branden by 5-7 points at this time, and both election results showed a extremely close margin of victory. Now, Heels-Up is supposed to be up by 1 point or tied. Tyrus states - remember this is his feeling and opinion - that by 10 PM election night, the race will be called for President Trump.
What say you?

First, they were called "wetbacks". Then, they were politically corrected to "illegal aliens". After that, they became "undocumented immigrants". Now, they're suddenly "exiles".
This is all very hard to keep up with.

Trump will give amnesty to all Venezuelans who have crossed the border over the past 3 years because they are “good people” fleeing “socialism.” We need to be consistent and stop all refugee programs whether for Venezuelans, Cubans, Haitians, etc.

“Even by victory are victors undone’’.
Trump won in 2020, we all know it. He was cheated.
It isn’t over until it’s over.
