    Rather than developing a Mexican brand of far-right politics, Verástegui tried to transplant a distinctly American flavour

    That was probably why. Though I suppose that it doesn't explain why no one else tried to innovate a more native far-right brand.

    2024 might otherwise have been a tough year, but 2025 was a lot better. Just look at the recent elections in Australia and Canada.

    I think since Reagan breaking the unions and NAFTA, regular Americans have felt their economic power decline. That makes people bitter and angry. They just want to burn things down and throw a tantrum rather than creating any type of country where someone other than them might succeed.
