It’s funny how South America swings to the left whenever the American media uses the words coups and authoritarian. Almost like South Americans like these candidates??
the crazy thing is that correismo never actually lost! lenin moreno changed colors the second he was president, but he was elected as a correista. just as with evo and bolivia where the opposition didnt actually win an election. and in the places where they DID win and beat back the pink tide a little (argentina, brazil, honduras, paraguay) it was usually accompanied by phony criminal investigations, and at least in argentina fernandez/peronismo made it back to power as soon as they were cleared (and in honduras of course they were robbed in the 2017 election)
uruguay and el salvador were also lost recently but circumstances are a bit different. chile’s been doing a sad back and forth between piñera and bachelet but hopefully jadue will break them out of that
I remember someone from Uruguay said their lost wasn’t that big of a deal because the right’s policies aren’t popular and they did r win by much either.
