Communist dictator of Nicaragua holds rally, declares "No more elections"

You have to see this.  Seriously.  The communist dictator of Nicaragua held a rally in which he decreed "No more elections."  Each of those tiny white dots is a person--an eager supporter of Daniel Ortega and his co-prez wife.

Most Americans couldn't find Nicaragua on a map.  Most highschool seniors couldn't tell you what continent it's on.  It's been ruled by the communist Ortega brothers (with brief interruptions) since 1979.

The brothers, Daniel and Humberto, have ruled Nicaragua since their communist group--the "Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN)" overthrew the previous dictatorship.  Daniel became president while his brother was named Defense Minister, a 4-star general who headed the army.  Ortega and his brother have ruled Nicaragua for 47 years.
  
In the video above, Daniel Ortega says the country will no longer hold elections, which he's concerned might allow opposition groups to win, ending his rule. 

That announcement follows years of dictatorial rule, including the government's violent crackdown on anti-government protests in 2018, a disputed election in 2021, constitutional changes that expanded his authority, and widespread international criticism over human rights abuses.

He recently ordered several universities, newspapers and NGOs closed.

Same playbook as Cuba and Venezuela under Chavez and later Maduro, eh?  But like Cuba and Venezuela, he promised enough free shit to people that they fawningly, slobberingly support him--much like U.S. Democrats are supported by the same kind of people here.
