      AFAICT their president is, in fact, a dictator much like Drumpf wants to be. The population currently appreciates him because he took the country from, “you’re likely to be murdered by gang violence,” to “you are somewhat likely to be abducted, and disappeared for unknown reasons.” Apparently that’s a bit more stable than the previous environment.

        Lame. Didn’t they have a revolution in the late 80s/early 90s?

          I seem to recall the US possibly getting involved, which probably means we installed the previous guy that let things get so bad.
