Autocrat and authoritarian now means independent from the US and refusing to be vassalized.

Oh, so this will be a temporary authocracy to shed the US bonds, and then a revert to democracy and rule of law?
Or is it just a country denying the people their right to choose being applauded again since liberal democracy is somehow US imperialism?
It's not an autocracy. It's a democratically elected government that represents the interests of the people.
You link to an article describing Mexico taking the authoritarian path and describes it as freeing itself from US subordination.
If this is not what is happening, why bother with this post at all, or did you just want to push authoritarians good, liberals bad?
Its an article by neocon liar, Iraq War architect, and Axis of Evil author David Frum and you believe what he says? Also its in the Atlantic so its almost guaranteed to be liberal garbage.
"Authoritarian" is meaningless used this way. Its just hurled at AES and other nations attempting independence from US exploitation. And liberals are always bad. They support the global imperialist power structure - the greatest engine of destruction in out world. Liberals are literally destroying the planet and performing genocide as we speak
