Obama’s massive ears just perked up.
This isn’t good.
But this IS a change.
In Latin American terms its a huge step, because Presidents succeeding themselves has been a political taboo for a hundred years. Across the continent in the 19th century this was a vehicle for dictatorships, such as that of Porfirio Diaz in Mexico. This was a cause of all sorts of civil wars, coups, military juntas, etc. So pretty much everyone adopted a single term system.
That was kind of my point. They’re falling back on old ways. Bolivia had a three term “president” as recently as 2003, so I don’t think we have to look all the way back to the 19th century either.
Yeah it’s a Latin American thing we are so different. /s.
Your just 2 -3 election cycles from experiencing it first hand.
What is it with Latin Americans? It’s like the were born to be subjugated.
The making of a dictator, Evil Morels are in evidence.
We have Supreme Court justices that want to use foreign law to interpret ours. Here’s where they might want to start.
Collectivist culture. It always brings poverty and failure, but they can’t seem to get enough of it down there. I think the equation is: Latin American culture + Catholicism = mass poverty + the subjugated individual. Coming to a country near you, courtesy of illegal immigration and the Democrat election fraud machine.
Damn those Catholics!
You are a bigoted moron.
The point went completely over your head. Reactionary imbecile.
