     This past June, in the Mexican election, we learned it no longer is a regime transition phase. It's the next step in power consolidation. Maybe Biden 2020, not Trump 2016, was the historical accident. This mandate is best understood as the next step in power consolidation.

     Now, both sides of the border seem to be on a speedrun to see who can remove counterweights faster. Mexico dissolved its Supreme Court (and reformed the judicial system) and is on track to kill autonomous oversight bodies.
