Mexico’s President vs. Reality… and Why It Sounds Familiar

Protesters marched right up to the National Palace where Mexico’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, actually lives.
Leftist. Elected in 2024. Approval over 70%.
Everything looked great… on paper.
But approval ratings don’t stop bullets.
And Mexico kept stacking murders like they were Pokémon cards.
That’s why even students are sounding like angry uncles on Facebook:
🤬 “This is one of the most corrupt governments we’ve ever had.”
🤬 “It’s a narco-government that protects the corrupt instead of the people.”
Then Sheinbaum proudly said in an interview that when Trump offered U.S. military help against the cartels, she told him:
👉“Sovereignty is not for sale.”
Bold words… for a country where half the cartels act like landlords and everyone else pays rent in fear.
But here’s where it gets wild:
Remember when Kamala Harris said the “root causes” of migration were poverty, corruption, and lack of opportunity? Cute speech.
But Mexico’s real root cause is that only 7% of murders get solved and criminals get more second chances than taxpayers get vacation days.
Mexico is drowning in:
👉 30,000 homicides a year
👉 Hundreds of thousands of disappearances
👉 A justice system that moves slower than my phone on 2% battery
And somehow the U.S. still keeps saying,
“It’s the system,” like both countries read the same self-help book.
So ask yourself:
🤔 Why do two totally different countries recycle the same excuses?
🤔 Who benefits when people feel helpless?
🤔 Why do criminals get released faster than Amazon Prime ships packages?
Mexico: Gen Z is in the streets demanding accountability.
America: We’re still debating whether enforcing laws is mean. 🤦♂️
