Mexico's democracy, famously held by the same right wing party for 70 years, "erodes fast" as soon as it elects a social democrat? brow I don't think I need to listen to anything lyin' León has to say

autocracy is when a colony allows the tyranny of the brown majority to determine local affairs without due deference to the emperor's democratic edicts.

We probably want to tread lightly on that topic. The same rhetoric is used to undermine Russia's elections and the elections of those regions who want to leave Ukraine.

león krauze is a mexican opposition propagandist, he is not american, tho its funny he is talking about this whilst Trump is blatantly destroying the facade of liberal democracy.

Which begs the question, why is the WaPo hosting opposition propagandists from its neighbor?

“I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.”

This is how you know she's doing shit right. Keep it up, Claudia!

I recognize Claudia Sheinbaum as the rightful and true President of the American continent.

She's literally the de facto leader of the free world. Who else otherwise?

If it was up to me, I'd carve it out with Sheinbaum as head of the Americas, Xi as head of Asia and Australia, Traoré as head of Africa, and Ansar Allah as head of the Middle east and Europe.

Westoids would lose their collective shit. It would be awesome.

“All oversight of telecoms — which used to be collegial — would now fall under the purview of just one person,”
