A Remarkable Win in Guatemala for Democracy--in our Hemisphere.

 Mr. Arevalo, a campaigner for anti-corruption government won by 59% of the popular vote for President of the country!  Congratulations.

What with so much heavy duty drugs affecting the conduct of politics both in Latin America and the Northern Hemisphere, it is refreshing to see signs of a return to democracy: Lulu winning in Brazil and now Arevalo in Guatemala.

We're so lucky living in the United States under a democratic form of government.  Would that we could spread the word that democracy is more human, less given to degrading the human spirit, than autocracy, which I note the former President Trump wishes to install here, should he become President in the election of 2024.  "Perish the thought!"

My opinion.
