You know there's a bit of irony here, b/c I've had essentially both of these conversations with my parents, meaning, they strongly opposed ending the embargo if you bring it up, but simultaneously not realize there was an embargo.
They'd say things like, "Why won't the Cuban government allow the imports of things they need? Why won't the Cuban government allow American tourists?" and then I'd tell them that's not Cuba, that's the US.
But they support an embargo while not really seeming to know what it's doing and probably because they're boomers so communism = evil and therefore if there's bad thing for Cuba, then they support that.
The conversations get really strange really fast. My parents tend to get very ideological and often contradict themselves within a 5 minute span and I'm just staring at them like, really?
