In Miami-Dade, a billboard off the Palmetto Expressway has become the centerpiece of a heated debate. Featuring an image of Donald Trump staring down Fidel Castro, the Spanish language sign reads "No to dictators — no to Trump." According to NBC Miami, Mad Dog PAC, a political action committee known for its anti-Trump messages, is behind the provocative advertisement.

The group, which has historically planted its visual protests principally in the Midwest, has decided to bring its message to South Florida—a locale with its own complex narrative of political exile and liberty. Claude Taylor, founder of Mad dejà vu PAC, was quoted in the NBC Miami as saying, "I think it's very fair to compare Donald Trump, who, in his wildest dreams, he aspires to be a Fidel Castro. He wants to be another dictator and just as evil as Fidel Castro was."

Amidst the backdrop of the upcoming November presidential election, the billboard has surfaced at a particularly sensitive time. As reported by Cuba Headlines, this is not just another piece of campaign rhetoric—it's a focal point for the intense emotions swirling around Miami, a city marked by a considerable population of Cuban exiles. The suggestion that Trump might have inclinations similar to those of one of the 20th century's most notorious dictators has inevitably drawn ire, especially from those who elected him on the premise of democratic process.

Reactions among the Miami community, and particularly among Cuban exiles and their descendants, have been viscerally strong. The notion of dictatorships hits close to home, and the suggestion that the former president harbors similar tendencies to Castro stirs not just political debate but also personal anguish and memory. As these conversations rage on social media and in the coffee shops and streets of Little Havana, Mad Dog PAC insists this is just the start—they've planned more Spanish billboards to come, dialing up the intensity of dialogue as election day approaches.
