Mexican President Sheinbaum Declares Fighting Cartels Would Be ‘Authoritarian’ and ‘Fascist’
I Stand For Freedom ^ | 11/08/25

Posted on 11/08/2025 8:57:14 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Imagine a fire chief who refused to fight fires because it would violate the flames’ right to burn. You’d think such absurd logic could only exist in satire, yet Mexico’s new president has just offered us something remarkably similar—except the flames in question are drug cartels, and the houses burning are filled with real people on both sides of the border.

Every day, roughly 200 Americans die from drug overdoses, with the vast majority of fentanyl flowing through Mexico’s cartel-controlled territories. Just last week, these same criminal organizations gunned down a mayor at a Day of the Dead celebration in Uruapan—a brazen assassination that barely made headlines anymore because such violence has become routine. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has signaled its intention to treat these cartels as the terrorist organizations they are, preparing to take decisive action where Mexico has failed.

You’d think—I don’t know, call me crazy—that Mexico’s president might welcome help in fighting the narco-terrorists who have turned her nation into a war zone. You’d think there’d be righteous anger over murdered officials and citizens. You’d think, at minimum, she’d recognize that civilization requires defending against barbarism.

Instead, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered this stunning declaration:

From X:

Returning to the war against the narco is not an option. First, because it is outside the framework of the law… So these [wars against the cartels] are called authoritarian, because they’re authoritarian. It’s going towards fascism. I said or have said on several occasions, it is permission to kill without any trial.

Go ahead, read that again. I’ll wait. Because I had to read it three times before I believed someone actually said this out loud. Fighting drug cartels—organizations that torture, murder, and poison tens of thousands annually—is now “fascism.” Protecting citizens from narco-terrorists violates the “rights” of traffickers.

The twisted logic here isn’t just wrong; it’s a complete inversion of moral reality. As the original article aptly notes, when criminal gangs control your government, that itself is a form of fascism. Sheinbaum is essentially arguing it’s fascistic to fight fascism.

This isn’t mere incompetence—it’s ideological rot of the kind we’ve seen creeping into American cities where prosecutors refuse to prosecute and police are told to stand down. The same progressive word games that turn criminals into victims and law enforcement into oppressors. We’ve all seen this movie before, haven’t we? The same moral relativism that treats evil and good as equally valid perspectives deserving equal protection.

Here’s what really gets me: Sheinbaum claims she wants justice for that murdered mayor, yet refuses to confront the very forces that killed him. It’s like demanding justice for arson victims while protecting the arsonists’ right to carry matches. This isn’t governance; it’s abdication dressed up in the language of human rights. How exactly does one get justice without, you know, actually fighting the bad guys?

For Americans watching this unfold, the implications are stark. Every day Mexico refuses to fight these cartels is another day fentanyl flows freely across our border, another day American families plan funerals for overdose victims, another day the rule of law retreats before advancing barbarism. When your neighbor’s house is on fire and they refuse to call the fire department because it might hurt the fire’s feelings, eventually your house catches fire too.

You know what really keeps me up at night? It’s not just Sheinbaum’s position—it’s that she felt comfortable saying it publicly. When leaders can openly declare that fighting evil is itself evil, we’re witnessing something beyond policy disagreement. We’re watching the complete inversion of civilization’s most basic responsibility: protecting the innocent from the predatory. If Mexico won’t defend civilization, America must be prepared to defend itself. And maybe it’s time we stop pretending that respecting sovereignty means watching our neighbors—and our own citizens—burn.

To be fair, she’s just saying what the cartels told her to say.

Mexico is basically run by narco terror groups so I guess standing on a podium with a gun pointed at your head it makes sense to say what the gun man wants you to say.

She want things to deteriorate to the point that millions of Mexicans will flee across the border. She’s of European origin, and the Europeans who run Mexican want to dump as much of their Indian population on the US as possible.

Sheinbaum is a good cowboy riding for the brand. Her dad was from Lithuania and was an early member of the Mexican Communist party. Feminist, pro-abort, pro-LGBT, pro-illegal immigration, etc. She is another of the secular Jews Charlie Kirk was referring to.

“Jewish donors have been the No. 1 funding mechanism of radical open-border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast created by secular Jews and now they’re coming for Jews, and they’re like, “What on Earth happened?”
And it’s not just the colleges. It’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.”

She should blink ‘C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-T’ and “D-A-V-O-S’ in Morse code with her eyes.

To not fight the cartels maker her an accomplice and a legitimate target.

UYou madam are a compicit enabler of evil. Either join the fight against the evil, or you will become a recipient of the blowback ahainst the evil, as the coomplicit enabler that you are.

What you are sying is, that the Lord himself is a fascist. When he closes the gates to heaven for the crimes these people commit upon humanity, his creation.

People should not automatically assume that President Sheinbaum is being threatened. That’s very unfair!

Anyway, I heard that Sheinbaum is going to change the Mexican presidential seal to the one below.

And he said that in context of ADL acting like anti-semitism and some nazi threat was to be found among Christians, evangelicals.... as they openly abetted flooding America with middle eastern refugees who were the actual driving force of Jew hate in the world.

Sheinbaum is another. She fully supports Palestinians and classifies Americans as bigots for wanting to stop immigration and cartels.

Because she is a sympathizer to communists and a fully committed WEF globalist. Might as well specify exactly who she is.... she is not under any duress. She is an enthusiast!

Just seal the border. I mean seal it.

But we need to curtail our drug use in the US. We're the largest market for illegal drugs.

For the corrupt elites in Mexico, the power seized by the cartels, the murders, the deaths, the oppression of poor people and the immorality of it all simply does not affect or concern them. Expecting justice in Mexico is like expecting snow.
