He's a nationalist, socialist, populist leader, and he speaks for the poor and downtrodden of mexico.

I want to restore my homeland to it's former glory, and to go back home.

He won't be lame duck because his political party also has a chance to become majority in congress, which is a big fuckin deal.

The US has always tried to screw with mexico, they're already trotting out the muh russians lie, but they wont say who the russians support cause it'll reveal who the US supports, and it'll reduce turnout for their beloved candidate.

You're right, this might require a revolution, again. However the US would just tip the scales, and we'd return to the same ol same old. A prosperous mexico is bad for the US.
