[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - fyi I am a democrat who is involved in my state committee.

The bad bunny half time show was disappointing.

We will never have a high functioning, high social trust, high public goods and quality public service model with becoming Latin America.

Democrats who reflexively support the latinification / Brazilification of the country are dooming the country to caudillo populism. [/quote]

Sorry, foreign policy specialist who has got to call BS here.

First of all, your takeaway from Bad Bunny's half time show is that more latinos in our country is a problem?  Because what I saw was a Latin many creating a vision for a better America.  Unity in love.  All that.  But you do you.

Secondly, if you're going to look at why Latin American governments have been dysfunctional, first, lets look at how many dictatorships, strongman governments, and yes, caudillo governments were created after the US shot (or otherwise disposed of) the elected, leftist official and then put a caudillo in their place.

Allende --> Pinochet
Sandino-->Somoza
Guatemalan President Arbenz ->. Carlos Castillo Armas

To name a few.

The blob has been wrong on almost every foreign policy action since the fall of the wall so pardon me if I don’t take your views seriously.

From Sam power/anne Marie slaughter/madeline Albright/tori nuland

(take your pick of higher power female foreign policy dem movers shakers in this town — the men are even worse)

down to the hordes of gs11s ona desk at state or cia, as a whole the blob has been mired in error after error.

Latin America has been a basket case from day one.

Broad based Industrial social democracy has never propospered there like you see in Western Europe or Japan/korea. Korea was much more poor than Latin American countries not too many decades ago - what changed? On almost every metric outside of birth rates, South Korea started off worse than Latin America and now is much better.

The Super Bowl should do an Asian American half time show next time. I’d have more confidence in the country’s future then [/quote]
