So Mexico just elected a new president who will assume office this October and there’s a strong sickening likelihood she may be better than our next president.
Claudia Sheinbaum will become Mexico’s first female president. The United States has not elected a woman yet but had its best opportunity so far in 2016 yet refused to elect the most qualified candidate in history in favor of the least qualified in history.
Sheinbaum will become Mexico’s first Jewish president despite the nation being overwhelmingly Catholic. Here in the United States, we have roving mobs of polo shirt-wearing white nationalists fuckaroos with tiki torches shouting, “Jews will not replace us.” Mexico just replaced its president with a Jewish one, so there.
Sheinbaum has a PhD and received her Doctor of Philosophy in Energy Engineering. She has written two books and over 100 articles on energy, the environment, and sustainable development. Donald Trump hasn’t read his books less enough, wrote them.
When she was Mexico City’s mayor, she advocated following COVID guidelines such as wearing face masks and social distancing. She closed commercial establishments and other venues to help stop the spread of COVID. For her handling of the pandemic, she was nominated by the City Mayors Foundation for the World Mayor Prize.
Our next president may be the guy who downplayed COVID and advocated taking hydroxychloroquine and bleach to cure it before catching it himself by failing to follow guidelines from his own team of scientist. That team’s leader is now MAGAt bad guy number one with a sitting member of Congress refusing to call him “doctor” while calling him a murderer.
Here’s a kicker: Sheinbaum is also pro-LGBTQ rights and has attended Pride parades.
Mexico is a nation with a lot of problems, but those issues are being confronted. Here, we are taking fucknut conspiracy theorists seriously who yell and scream about fake problems, such as men on women’s sports teams.
While the United States is fucking around with casting for the remake of Idiocracy, Mexico is being serious and just overwhelming elected an accomplished scientist as its next president.
Remember in 2016 when one of the Former Guy’s advocates warned that if Clinton was elected that there’d be a taco truck on every corner?

Good blog. As an ex-pat living in Mexico I totally agree. Mexico’s government overall may be a bit on the corrupt side but everyone knows it and it works in it’s own way. More than can be said of El Norte.

Dear Mr. Jones,
I’m sorry. Excellent blog (as usual!) but I can’t let these two errors go by uncommented-upon:

Dear N,
To which two errors are you referring?
(I only found one.)

My stepmom always insists that she can’t let errors go by without saying something. But you know what? It’s possible. You just keep your thoughts to yourself rather than call someone out on it. No need to always bring attention to someone’s mistake(s). We are human, everyone makes them and you probably do, too, and people are just too polite to say anything to you about it. The other thing that is nice to do, if you just CAN’T help yourself, is to contact him directly (privately) and let him know.

This is what the rest of the world is beginning to think of us. The US of A is becoming the LA Rams of geopolitics. Ex-prez (sic) Corkscrew’s* ONLY goal is to have at least as much power and authority as his comrade Vlad – and he’ll turn this great country into another Russia to get it.

I’ve often talked of moving to Canada to get away from the madness here in the U.S., but now I think maybe I want to move to Mexico!!!

Mexico sounded, more, like land of the free than the U.S. now, despite how those, immigrants are, fleeing to the north of the Tex-Mex border…

Mexico has serious and persistent problems. The power of drug cartels, the susceptibility to bribes of civil servants, structural inequalities that favor the wealthy. A history that values Europeans over mestizos and mestizos over indigenous populations. Many, if not most, of these problems, are attributable to its rapacious, less than sane neighbor to the north. For example, 90% of the guns in Mexico have been purchased in the USA. Dr. Sheinbaum represents hope, not just to and for Mexico, but for the entire hemisphere.
How different is the US: Biden represented a voice of hope to a vast majority of Americans after less than four years of the Mango Maniacs administration and he won the popular vote by historic majorities. Under his leadership, the US economy has recovered faster than all other national economies. Long-promised infrastructural improvements have been initiated, many designed to combat global heating. Unemployment is at near-historic lows. But because of ageism and what some perceive as physical and mental disability, Biden’s approval is quite low. Frankly, I do not understand. Americans have become childish; they want things, and they want them… now!
Great cartoons today, Clay.
