The last Mexican civil war was 1911-1914. How many Mexican-Americans do you think remember that? What they remember is that the leftist PRI ruled for a couple of generations and the economy was stagnant for whole lifetimes and no progress was made for sixty years under the heavy hand of Obama-type government.

Many of them at least just might be ready to listen.

The last revolution traumatized the heck out of the Mexicans, and the Indians living in Mexico. After the internal deportation of the Yaquis to southern Mexico, where they lived as slaves, they were only allowed to return home in the 1940s.

It doesn’t help matters either that they have a revolution in 1810, and one in 1910, now that it is 2010. And Mexico is up to its eyebrows in potential nightmares.

Of course, leading the list is the cartel wars.

Meanwhile, just today in southern Mexico, there was a major assassination:

Add to that, the growing Santa Muerte cult, a throwback to Aztec religion, with as many as 2m followers. This one is scary, as they could become worse than the Indian Thuggee overnight. All they need is a charismatic leader, and there could be a whole lot of homicide going on.

In their last presidential election, the losing socialist called on his followers to shut down Mexico City, and they collectively refused, because they were so averse to its revolutionary overtones.
