I keep thinking about this every time our liberal journos try to stir shit against AMLO. Today we are enjoying another iteration of their never ending stream of open letters signed by disgraced journalists and intellectuals, the twist in this one is that they gathered 650 signatories, the claims are just hilarious saying that they are being persecuted and censored, absurd AMLO limits himself to clapbacks in his daily morning talks and this is what they are trying to equate to a vague understanding of authoritarianism its just so dumb. The cherry on top is that these pampered whores never criticized the openly documented system of media control pioneered by the president who launched our bloody war against the drug cartels.

All of this to say that I half remember that this was the same sequence played before deposing Evo, maybe a Biden admin is more open to the idea? His foreign policy is very worrisome for me.

    Thank you thats a really enlightening take, makes sense. I think that I'm being a little bit paranoid because some emerging far right groups are openly calling for a coup trying to get sponsors but you are right reading it geopolitically they would go for Maduro. I would also like to add that even if some soft power was lost with Trump it was just in the realm of what the US used to represent to some people over here but in the end the relationship is the same, Trump turned Mexico's national guard into a overpowered border patrol and so I think that functionally nothing has changed con el cheto en la casa blanca
