Jesus. Dude isn’t even trying to be subtle
All my people I tell that we can expect this in the USA are adamant „never going to happen here“. Even after sharing that it has been happening at an alarming rate of constitution changes around the globe. Looking at China, Russia, now El Salvador. From the article-
The party of El Salvador President Nayib Bukele approved constitutional changes in the country’s National Assembly on Thursday that will allow indefinite presidential reelection and extend presidential terms to six years.
Lawmaker Ana Figueroa from the New Ideas party had proposed the changes to five articles of the constitution. The proposal also included eliminating the second round of the election where the two top vote-getters from the first round face off.
New Ideas and its allies in the National Assembly quickly approved the proposals with the supermajority they hold. The vote passed with 57 in favor and three opposed.
Well… I think El Salvador is a dictatorship now.
He’s more popular than god in El Salvador. If the people want him, then what’s the issue? There are plenty of first world democracies without term limits – Canada, UK, Australia, Italy, Germany …
This is a bad sign for the US. Trump is going to do everything in his power to replicate.
Oh…so that’s why the Donald like this guy so much
Shadow Docket SC ruling says this is applicable to the United States.
Stop tarting it up and just name him El Jefe de por Vida.
Reddits favourite dictator everyone! Or at least until he sidled up to Trump
Ah, smell of dictatorship
Donald very jealous right now.
Ah yes the crypto-fascist is now showing his hand as a fascist
When current leader start mucking with established election law that is the first step a country take toward totalitarian government.
Tell me you’re a dictator without saying you’re a dictator.
Cue the Americans “it cant happen here” until it does
Saw that one coming.
This is how putin became dictator of Russia
Some have the mistaken notion that unpopularity among the masses is a constant within countries under authoritarian or totalitarian regimes. Throughout History, many of the most infamous dictators came to power (and stayed) not only at gunpoint but also with the thunderous applause of the crowds. I have a feeling we’re facing another example for the textbook.
Trump will be writing love letters to him
US: that’s a great idea
This guy is just [another stereotypical Latin American oligarch](https://english.elpais.com/international/2024-10-14/bukele-clan-fumes-over-investigation-exposing-their-new-wealth.html) and things won’t end well for the people of El Salvador.
Totally not a dictator
I remember the Gorbachev era. How hopeful we all were that the cold war was over. The shackles were off. Any country could move towards a democratic system, not just the former communist bloc, but various Washington backed dictatorships that were artificially kept that way just because they were anti Moscow. It actually looked like the entire Western Hemisphere would be free except maybe Cuba and Haiti. Europe looked to be changing to 100% democratic.
Unfortunately most of the rudimentary democracies worldwide have slipped back to authoritarian rule. In most cases, the people themselves elected a despot much like Hitler and Mussolini in the 30s.
Holy shit – I didn’t see this coming at all!
