Colombia, which is America's strongest ally, has always had the most level-headed voters in the region.
They've had two conservative parties, sometimes at once, and voters there have always rejected the crazy left, which in their case, is a Castro-grade revolutionary crazy grade of left, with Bill Ayers-types on steroids. They did, after all, fight a 60-year war against Marxist narcoterrorists, with only a few university wokesters defending them.
So it was shocking news that on Sunday, Colombians went and elected just about the worst leftist of this stripe, a former M-19 narcoguerrilla named Gustavo Petro, president, turning one of the most conservative countries in the region to the far left for the first time. The freak belonged to the M-19 narcoterrorist outfit that operated in the 1980s and 1990s, aligning itself at some point with Pablo Escobar himself. That group blew up the Colombian Supreme Court -- with all the justices in it -- and a huge loss of life.
No normal person would join a detested group like that. After that, Petro went on to whoop it up with Hugo Chavez as the best of radical leftist allies, and like Chesa Boudin, became "an advisor" to the late, unlamented, Venezuelan thug. Petro and Chavez go way back, as this tweet suggests:

Venezuela wasn't a warning to Petro, it was the playbook.
After that, he became a lousy blue-city mayor of Bogota for a stretch, reducing the quality of life same as is seen in blue cities here. He had to have had some kinds of political skills, given his record both as a reviled leftist terrorist and a crappy mayor.

How many votes did the narco-guerillas buy with the new money that Biden has allowed them to earn?
I blame Big Cocaine.
Like a dog returning to his vomit.

Dominion machines?
Or perhaps, they used Dominion voting machines.
Election returns guaranteed to the highest bidder!
I guess they have dominion machines as well
Who says they voted for them?
Remember the VP’s trips down south for “root causes”?
I guess she passed on the secret sauce to rig elections.
It worked for her.
Voter fraud maybe? I heard that’s a problem some places.
Dominion
a former M-19 narcoguerrilla, wonderful...
First order of business: Outlaw all the stuff he did before getting elected. No protests, no terrorism
Funded by Gyorgy Soros, no doubt.
It’s what they want. Let them starve.
Perhaps the Colombian military should hold a little meeting to discuss how to best handle this situation. I’m not advocating a coup, of course. Because that would be wrong.
Voting is so 2019.
Isn’t that what most citizens of Central/South America come here to escape?
“Colombia, which is America’s strongest ally ...”
Colombia is a good country with good people. I spent a couple of months there years ago, and it really is a wonderful place.
But “America’s strongest ally”? Yeah, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.
