I don't know. It sure does seem authoritarian of Mexico to have an election and then for the person elected to act the way they campaigned they would. Wasn't their someone they forgot to ask? Not very freedom of them, you know?
And don't forget how the government engages in autocratic practices like having judges being elected instead of appointed.
That's horrible! Judges should be properly vetted by a panels of elderly millionaires to make sure they will uphold the rule of the bourgeois and then appointed. That's how the Founders intended!
That's right, this is far too important for the hoi polloi to have a say in.
