To Mexicans, US democracy is important. Now, Trump’s rhetoric is calling that into question

>Mexico is one of many countries that have become increasingly dismayed with Trump’s success. Since the day he launched his campaign in June 2015, he has used Mexico as his favorite piñata. He declared, “When Mexico sends its people…they are bringing drugs. They are bringing crime. They are rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” This—and consecutive similar declarations—have provoked indignation and disbelief not only in the Mexican population and its intellectual and journalistic communities but also in the entire government.

>Journalists and intellectuals have a similar perspective. Victor Flores Olea, professor, journalist, and former Deputy Secretary of Foreign Affairs, stated that “all stupidities are embedded in Donald Trump.”

>Luis Rubio, a Mexican public intellectual, opines, “If Trump wins the presidency, he will be a national security problem for Mexico.” Finally, Enrique Krauze, one of Mexico’s most distinguished intellectuals, noted, “Donald Trump is a perfect fascist. He fits the typology of a fascist. He has quoted Mussolini… Like a fascist, he has established direct contact with the people. He always talks about foreign conspiracies. He has a violent, emotional attitude. He appeals to the historical right of his people, in this case, nativism, xenophobia and racism. He speaks uncritically about war, violence, of what he will do with Muslim’s families, and the way he talks about the Mexicans.”

>Evidently when Mexican intellectuals call Trump a fascist today—like many other people in the US and around the world—and when Trump labels the Mexican people as rapists and criminals, Mexico’s appreciation and admiration for American democracy comes into question.

Pick one

Why? What's the point?
If Mexicans thought this was a bad place, they'd go home.

They are still coming here.

The article is misquoting him, and ignores that fascism is actually the government elite doing things the citizens can't.
Perjury
Ignoring laws
Not paying taxes

That is Clinton. Trumps a big orange meanie, but he's no where near the fascist Hillary has shown herself to be.

>mexican intellectuals

Spics can suck off a dog. I knew they're filthy roaches, but didn't realize how bad the situation truly is.

80% of Central American immigrant women report getting raped by Mexicans (including government officials) along the way.. You can be outraged by that, or you can be outraged over Trump's outrage over the rapes. Which makes you less retarded?

...

Great to know mexican liberals are as irrational and emotionally reactionary as US liberals.

They too will stoop to taking quotes/intentions out of context to bend them to a narrative that fosters fear and tension for political gain.

Great to know that liberal intellectuals, no matter what country they're from, will pretend to speak for the masses that they would never actually associate with.

>liberal intellectuals, no matter what country they're from, will pretend to speak for the masses that they would never actually associate with
Yeah, that's a funny thing. I once belong to the working class and not a single one of my co-workers shared liberal ideas

...

>Mexican intellectuals
The same people who can't figure out why their country is such a shithole

>Mexico’s appreciation and admiration for American democracy comes into question.

Are you high? I've traveled extensively in Mexico. Beautiful country, shame what US immigration policy did to it. And what it did to America.

The original sin. We need to rip that scab off NOW. Otherwise we merge with the beaners, a lazier, more corrupt tribe of capitalist pigs.

Anyway.

>Democracy is good as long as you agree to us !
Pathetic mexican parasites.

I can't wait to see Trump deport their masses of inbred cretins and BTFO their economy while pissing on every deal they've ever made.
Take back and absorb whatever industry they have there.

Rewrite all trade and political deals so Mexico knows where it stands.

I also want to see that happen with China too,the chinese have become arrogant without merit.

The Middle East - the birthplace of writing/agriculture, Algebra and other sciences, shit you could disputeit as the birthplace of modern civilization is a rabbit turd sized blotch?

This graph has bullshit written all over it, it literally looks like a drunk dude was trying to make a point about Geography but ended up liking blowing countries up with Photoshop.

Cmon even Spain is huge wtf did they even do besides make Pan's Labyrinth?

For shame bitch 1/10

>Mexican intellectuals

They conveniently cut off the part where he says

>"they're not sending their best"

Implying the people who are actually still in mexico are better than the illegals coming here.

nice (((media))) you have there

Who gives a shit that Hillary Clinton is one of the main players in why the middle east is so fucked

Who cares that she has been caught in countless lies, some treasonous

Who cares that over 50 people (that we know about) have died in mysterious circumstances that somehow favored her and her husband

Who cares that she may be in serious ailing health, mental and physical

Who cares that she might have been making iterative political favors for campaign donations

Who cares that she was kicked off the Watergate case for being unethical

Who cares that she got a CHILD RAPIST out of jail time.

Who cares that Trump isn't articulate enough to suit the media, so that is the story somehow.
