For some idea of how absurd it is: how many times does 0.05 fit into 100? The answer: 2000. Now imagine yourself holding a hypothetical 2000-sided die and picking a number between 1 and 2000. You then roll it, and, behold!, the number that you chose turns out to be the exact number that you get.

You would not believe that there was anything normal about it whatsoever, and you would probably always remember it.

Yet this is exactly what happened in the Mexican election. Mexico rolled the 2000-sided die and the result that it got simply read 'Jew'. And all those who support her want you to believe that this result is absolutely normal, and want you to forget all about it.

AMLO is barred from re-election by constitutional term limits. In Mexico, it is very common for a president to handpick his successor. During the PRI's 71 years in power, every president was chosen by his immediate predecessor. So AMLO, more accurately, rolled the 2000-sided die, got 'Jew' as his result, and consequently chose her over the many alternatives. The polls strongly suggested that his political party, MORENA, would resoundingly win the election, and so whoever he chose was practically guaranteed to be the next president. Since it is AMLO who has made this highly improbable choice, one has to wonder whether he has been blackmailed, bribed, coerced or some such thing. It was obvious that he was in a strong position to determine his successor, making him an easy target for any kind of conspiratorial elite that has its own preference.

Putting that aside, the rest of it is par for the course. MORENA is simply continuing in power, but AMLO has reached the end of his six-year term, necessitating a change of president. My other thoughts on this I already wrote elsewhere: https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct/p/17tKsBU4Aq/37-candidates-assassinated-so-fa/c/4ZBKDA8GzTv
