I cannot stress this enough: What we are seeing in Ecuador is an attempt to steal an election from a popular leftist candidate.The US, OAS and Colombia are meddling in Ecuador's internal affairs.And the electoral body is conspiring with the 2nd/3rd place neoliberal candidates— Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) February 13, 2021
You're overestimating the role the US plays in these things. It was the coup government that fucked up, not the US. And I don't think anything would change had they killed Morales. Also it's not Trump or whomever is president that is in charge of these things. Presidents don't personally do as much as people think.
I think it mostly failed because Evo was just that popular. Easier to stage a coup if there are people in the country who genuinely dislike the leader.
Also, the POTUS signs off on shit but it’s the Pentagon and the CIA that actually run the show. Unless Trumps stupid aura affected them idk why it’d would matter if he’s a dingle berry .
I argue that Morales' death would have galvanised the left and prevented absolutely nothing. If anything it would have made it easier to mobilise the masses as they would have been even angrier than they were. What was in motion there had become much bigger than Morales himself even if he was essential in getting it there.

Yeah, cause the Bolivian coup didn’t happen under his watch.
