I kind of got distracted from Latin America and missed that Mexicans elected a Jewish woman as president. She’s far-left, so a lot of good it will do for Mexico. This is the kind of person who likes to chirp excitedly that she’s “a citizen of the world”, so you can imagine. But there’s value in having a person with a Jewish last name becoming Mexican president, so there’s value in that. Her predecessor Andrés Manuel López Obrador appealed to his imaginary Aztec ancestry a lot but hopefully the new president being named Sheinbaum will spare us at least that kind of silliness.
