Whenever there is discussion of Florida, the disussion always turns to Cuban voters, who are bamboozled by Republicans with nonsense talking points such as "Obama supports Fidel Castro," in 2008 to "Hillary Clinton is soft on socialism" in 2016 to "Biden is a communist in 2020". This is particularly absurd when one considers that Clinton and Biden, in particular, have built careers in being relatively centrist (if not conservative) Democrats. Surely, this voting bloc will lose relevancy at some point in the future? Fidel Castro has been dead for nearly 5 years and had not even held office in Cuba since 2008 (even then, he had ceded much power late in his rule) and the Cuban Revolution was over 60 years ago. In the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, the Revolution may have been fresh on peoples' minds, but surely there will come a time when talk of Cuban Communism, Castro, and Che Guavara lose relevancy or sticking power? Suppose a conservative Democrat like Kyrsten Synema is on the ticket in 2032 or beyond; are Republicans really going to be fearmongering about the conservative Democrats ties to the revolution of some 70 years earlier? We're gonna be talking about Che Guavara in 2036? 2040? 2044?

As soon as Castro is a history lesson and not something they personally remember.

Democrats actually made huge gains with Cuban voters from 2008-2016, its just that they reverted back in 2018 and 2020
