Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.
It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

It’s funny also that this scandalous behavior is like the most wholesome thing a mayor has ever done. The Knicks won the championship and NYC’s mayor was so psyched about it he started crewing up to play late-night hoops with his bros. That’s the relatability that got him elected in the first place.
This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

Your average old world/new world academic traditions
In general, I love American Gee Whiz Enthusiasm encountering Old World Exhaustion because sometimes it's incredibly, well, funny, as when European intellectuals figured that language is a trap, knowability a chimera, and American intellectuals reacted to this insight with giddy enthusiasm.

Extension: the plan to capture all these institutions started like, after Nixon & arguably culminated in Dubya or Trump II. But that’s the end! They’re in just as uncharted territory bc they never envisioned a world where people didn’t like what they did/could speak out against it
They're throwing spaghetti at the wall. It doesn't mean it's not really dangerous - and whatever they try, we'll be prepared to counter - but folks should be clear that this is not some well-orchestrated highly competent plan unfurling.
