Many in the attendance at the party were Cuban supporters who said they supported Otaola because his anti-communist messaging resonated with them. Born in Cuba, Otaola pledged to make Miami-Dade a communist-free zone, one of his main campaign policies. There was also overlap between Trump and Otaola supporters, and many at the election party in Homestead viewed both politicians as wronged by a rigged system that favors mainstream politicians.

As a child of a Cuban immigrant, it's absolutely sickening to me how much of the Cuban population in Florida just eats that shit up. All a Republican has to say is "God good, Communism bad" and they get a ton of Cuban votes, even though a Trump dictatorship would be just as bad if not worse for them than the Castro regime that their families left Cuba to get away from. Every day, I thank my father for pulling our family away from organized religion early on so we didn't fall into that same hole.
