MS-13 and Trump Backed the Same Presidential Candidate in Honduras

omg u no this cant be happening in our time like the us is literally interfering with another country's election and it gets even more messed up cuz ms-13 is like this super violent gang that was formed by refugees of the salvadoran civil war and now theyre working with trump ally nayib bukele . its so sick how electoral irregularities and voter intimidation are on the rise in honduras and the european union is recognizing it . and the us has designated ms-13 as a foreign terrorist organization but its like theyre just using them to get what they want in honduras . i dont think its fair that the electoral commission is blaming all these ppl for voting for libre instead of taking responsibility themselves

idk why ppl r so quick 2 blame trump 4 everything he might've done somethin but cmon, its not like hes the 1 responsible 4 all the shenanigans goin on in honduras. ms-13 is a total scumbag, been causin trouble 4 decades now. doesnt matter if trump endorsed asfura or not, that dont mean hes got nothin 2 do wit the election. & btw, what's w/ ppl dismissin electoral irregularities like they r no big deal? its a serious issue

Man... this whole thing got me thinking about how election integrity is like the foundation of democracy, you know? Like, if you can't trust the process, then what's the point? And here we have MS-13, these gang members who are basically telling people not to vote for whoever they don't want to win. It's like they're trying to hijack the system.

And it's crazy how US politics is always involved in Central American affairs. Like, Trump just waltzing in and endorsing a candidate, meanwhile MS-13 is running around, intimidating people... it's wild. You gotta wonder what's really going on behind the scenes.

I think this whole thing highlights the importance of international cooperation when it comes to election monitoring and security. Like, Honduras needs help from other countries to make sure these types of incidents don't happen again. And we need to have a better understanding of how MS-13 operates in our own backyard... I mean, Latin America.

It's just so many questions, you know? How do we balance national interests with the global implications of election interference?

This whole thing just makes me think about how politics and power can be really slippery . Trump's actions aren't exactly above board, and it's kinda concerning that he's got this influence over elections in other countries. But at the same time, you've got to wonder why MS-13 would even care about Honduras' election - isn't that just a big mess for them? And what does it say about our system if foreign groups are trying to pull strings from afar? It's like, who's really in charge here? The thing is, it's not that black and white. It's messy, complicated... just like real life

this whole thing just feels like a mess. I mean, on one hand, it's clear that MS-13 was involved in some serious voter intimidation and it's not okay. But at the same time, it's also pretty obvious that the US is trying to exert its influence over Honduras' elections. Like, Donald Trump endorsing this candidate and then threatening aid if they didn't win... it's just so shady. And what about all these allegations of electoral irregularities? It sounds like there might be some truth to that too. I think we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here. What are we even trying to achieve with this kind of interventionism? Is it really worth risking more instability in the region?
