Beset by corruption, poverty and endemic violence, Mexican voters sent a message of desperation on Sunday by voting overwhelmingly to make socialist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador their next president. This is bad for the U.S., but even worse for Mexico.

President Trump did the neighborly thing in congratulating Obrador on his victory and pledged to work with him. But in fact Obrador's win bodes ill for future relations. His talking points for the policies he'll pursue once in office sound much more like Venezuela's late socialist dictator Hugo Chavez than, say, Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher.

For starters, Obrador vows to renationalize the oil industry, halt all cooperation with U.S. immigration laws, give amnesty to the drug cartels, boost farm subsidies and remove "multinational" investment in agriculture, encourage mass migration by Mexicans to the U.S., while using remittances from workers in the U.S. to fuel Mexican growth.

    Looks like more Mexicans will be heading to the border after Mexico fails. Tough shit. You elected to follow in the footsteps of Venezuela and commit suicide. Fuck off. And you socialists in the US (with the exception of APAG, he's not a real socialist, and not a retard either), you can kill yourselves too. Pack up your shit, head for the border and take up residence in Mexico instead of trying to set up a socialist state here and try to rule people who would rather you LEAVE or DIE than ever submit to your leadership and failed system. Much easier.

    And they wonder why we want to restrict immigration south of the border. Could it be because most of those shithole countries are infested with socialists and people who prefer to live under oppression rather than freedom? And that they'll take that fucked up way of thinking here with them and pollute America with it?

    Helps Trump, hurts open borders democrats. With a Hugo Chavez style socialist in power south of the border promising not to do shit about cartels or illegal immigration, throw out the script, they're toast.

    Countries founded by English Protestants tend to end up rich. Those founded by Spanish Catholics tend to end up pour. Same as it ever was. This was all set in motion well befor Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto.
    Might as well not even have the revolution of the proletariat then.

    Your fabulous utopia has arrived. Lucky for you, it's within driving distance, right across the border. So why are you still here?
    Agree, California is utopia. Driving it is manageable if you know what you’re doing.

    The other 3/4 of Mexico's populating is on the way. Enjoy.

    He’ll take cartel bribes the right way though. Why does Mexico even bother with any elections when the Cartels run the Country and Military anyway.

    Maybe the cartels in charge want them to have elections, ever think of that?

    Beset by corruption, poverty and endemic violence, Mexican voters sent a message of desperation on Sunday by voting overwhelmingly to make socialist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador their next president. This is bad for the U.S., but even worse for Mexico.

    President Trump did the neighborly thing in congratulating Obrador on his victory and pledged to work with him. But in fact Obrador's win bodes ill for future relations. His talking points for the policies he'll pursue once in office sound much more like Venezuela's late socialist dictator Hugo Chavez than, say, Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher.

    For starters, Obrador vows to renationalize the oil industry, halt all cooperation with U.S. immigration laws, give amnesty to the drug cartels, boost farm subsidies and remove "multinational" investment in agriculture, encourage mass migration by Mexicans to the U.S., while using remittances from workers in the U.S. to fuel Mexican growth.

    What is chintresting, and I kid you not, is that many of your fellow Trump supporters who we know and are connected to my wife on social media have expressed support for, or at the very least interest in, this guy as a new-era populist.

    I think you'll find that your nuvo American conservatism isn't as far removed politically from the socialists. You don't want less government. You just want to get more of your guysm in there to get their reads down.

    It's all populism whether on the right or the left. Path to Serfdom playbook.
