Today, people in cars went out to protest Lopez Obrador in many cities across Mexico. According to the police they counted 250 cars in Mexico City. It’s probably underestimated, they do that for most protests. That doesn’t mean it isn’t  ridiculous.

Apparently the movement is called “Honk against AMLO” and what they’re supposed to do is go downtown, to the national palace, and just hunk for days in front of the national palace.

Wait, was that a Porsche Macan in a protest? Lol.

Similarly, in Guadalajara.

Now, I’m not an expert protesting or anything, but it seems antithetical to protest abuses of power, unecological infrastructure and economic meltdowns from inside cars.

Anyway.

I mean, it would also make their protest look a lot less powerful I guess.

He was probably looking out, laughing. What the people in the cars don’t understand is that they’re making fools of themselves. They might have legitimate reasons, but the way they’re protesting just makes them look like people that are completely out of touch.

Reminds me again of the Bentley PR statement about some model or other and its “socially aware” customers.

lack of self awareness is widespread. that’s what people like the Gravy Seals and Meal Team Six didn’t realize while they were strutting around Lansing. they thought  they looked like a bunch of hard-assed “soldiers of fortune,” but in reality looked like a bunch of idiots and psychos.

Well, that’s one way to irritate the crap out of politicians. And it’s not like they can all just play bagpipes at them. Although that would be glorious...

I don’t think that irritated the president at all. If anything it gave him more followers

From what (extremely little) I know about Mexican politics, out of touch Porsche drivers would seem to be a constituency pretty hostile to AMLO on a class basis if nothing else.
