Mexico’s elite struggles to comprehend left’s landslide election win
The day after Mexico’s leftwing ruling party Morena won a landslide victory in presidential, congressional and state elections, one executive stayed in bed all afternoon eating ice cream to try to cope. A wealthy woman in Mexico City told friends it was time to “move to the house in Houston”, while another business leader said his WhatsApp chats were marked by a mood of “collective suicide”.
President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum and Morena’s victory last Sunday was not a surprise, but the scale of their triumph was. Sheinbaum vaulted 31 points clear of her nearest challenger, centre-right entrepreneur Xóchitl Gálvez, and Morena is now poised to push through radical changes to the constitution after greatly increasing its majority in congress.

Sounds like good news to me!
She's going to learn really quick that being Latino and rich doesn't protect you from being Latino in America.
Being rich does get you a lot of protection in america.
Far less if you're rich and a POC though. Unless you're like OJ rich.
And on top of that, Mexico rich isn't exactly America rich most of the time.
I feel so bad for the woman in Mexico City. Not only does she have to move, but move to entirely separate country.
Why feel bad for her? It's a problem of her own making, and a solution of her own choice.
I’m just shit posting. Fuck her
To. Texas.
Just saying.
Not sure, but pretty sure this was sarcasm
Lololololololol. Yeah honey move to Houston and see what life is like. Better off moving to Miami. Both are insufferable shit holes, but at least you can swim at the beach in Miami, not like the Carcinogen Coast. Bonus points for living in a state with a functional electrical grid.
Nah Galveston is Carcinogen Coast.
Houston is "want to drive to X? 30 minutes". No matter how close it is.
