People in Cuba and Miami are celebrating the death of their leader. They are celebrating the death of their leader because Fidel had created bad bonds with other countries which caused many people to flee the country. But now that the leader has died, people  can go back home and be happy that  the leader has who has caused them to drive away is no longer in our presents. How ever many peole are celbrating, the citizens who live in Cuba do not know what is going to happen with their country. The country of Cuba is not in the best condition, and with no leader currently, they are hoping for a leader that will allow the country to thrive.

Arlie Russel Hochschild decided that she would take a five year trip around the country, focusing mostly on white Louisiana to understand the views and culture of southern and middle America. She moved from Berkley to try to understand the tea party voters. She says that only 11% of Louisiana voted for Obama in 2012. When asked most people said, "I believe in freedom and I was going to vote for Ted cruz, but I will now vote for Donald Trump".  She believes Trump has opened a divide mostly in the middle class, because a lot of people struggling relied on government services are now struggling to gain access to them. In an interview a young woman in Louisiana who works with Aflac and has clients supporting Trump says about her clients, "They see him as very strong. A blue-collar billionaire. Honest and refreshing, not having to be politically correct. They want someone that's macho, that can chew tobacco and shoot the guns—that type of manly man." We have seen a rise of alcohol and drug abuse along with suicide middle in low class white men. Many of these men stuggling and mourning see rescue in Trump's phrase, "Great Again". Much more on;
