Liberals about to become authorities on mexican geopolitics, culture, and government.
can’t wait to see news coverage of pro-democracy protests in mexico
and all the signs and slogans being in english
And the pictures going viral are actually of protests in, like, Bolivia or something. And they’re actually protesting that, like, the titanium tax is too high or something.
or of a pro-government protest
That too.
For context, they really did that with Cuba.
I know it was just surreal watching that happen
Um, sweatie, AMLO eats babies and is problematic
Smh #Standwiththecartels
Mexico Understanders™
Great timing too consider 1994 just came out on netflix
1984?
No the netflix documentary 1994. Its about the assassination of Donaldo Colosio.

#IStandWithPAN
(Pan is a mexican fascist party, libs probably would side with it)
CIA to Guaido, “Hey Juan, we have a new job for you. How would you like to be declared president of Mexico?”
New genocide about to drop
Mexico is genociding drug cartels.
Unironically I think they could try to romanticize the cartels, or they will pretend they aren’t that big a problem. I could just be reaching blindly around honestly.
I mean, it is a fact that the drug cartels have been actively armed by the DEA and the US has flooded Mexico with weapons on various occasions. They hold control over a significant amount of mexican territory and have a lot of political and economic influence (they are a sort of pseudo fascist dual power). Most mexicans hate them but also fear them, so it would be the perfect point of entry for the US to meddle in mexican affairs. The cartels are already romabticized in pop culture both in the US and Mexico with tv series, songs and the like.
I remember how about ten years ago, Mexican police started finding American automatic weapons – complete with serial numbers – on dead cartel members. The response of the Obama administration was “whoops, that was actually part of a super-secret plan to find out where the drug lords get their weapons.” Yeah, right.
Have you seen how many narco movies/TV shows the West makes? It’s almost like a fetish.
They’re also boring to watch because they’re formulaic AF. Once you’ve seen one series, you’ve basically seen all of them.
I smell a coup incoming…
The US cannot be happy with this.
As an American who lives in Mexico this both excites and scares me at the same time.
why does it scare you?
US involvement in the country. It seems like Mexico is at a very pivotal stage in its development and an upset like that could undo a lot of progress.
Luckily that has a low chance of happening, especially given amlo’s massive support. Thank god its not the 80s anymore, where the US would just invade.
