Donalda Trumpisitis: It’s a modern day reaction/phenomenon, compensatory in nature, whereby the patient undergoes a complete transformation, political and psychological in nature, in response to the perceived and somewhat accelerated loss of politic capital or popularity. This kind of discombobulation and unraveling of one’s political identity can be temporary or permanent, depending on how the patient perceives their shift or abrupt change in position will be perceived by the public. It’s also known in layman’s terms as “attempting to cover one’s ass.” Symptoms include looking down, looking around in an attempt to “find acceptance,” the somewhat artistic swaying of the hands, likened to a conductor leading an orchestra, and drinking exorbitant amounts of water (or another more potent substance if available) in one fell swoop, given the patent’s attempt to allay and conceal their fear and nervousness. 😊

🟢 ARTICLE | Are you interested in understanding the implications of Morena’s plan to elect judges by popular vote and its potential impact on Mexico’s judicial independence? Emiliano Polo’s article “Mexico’s Judicial Reform Is Not About the Judiciary” examines the reform, arguing it is a guise to concentrate power and undermine judicial independence.
