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.
