The Americans' Deadpool Effect

Beyond the descriptions made by many columnists regarding the U.S. arrest of two of the world's most controversial villains, "Mayo" and "Chapito," it can be stated that this happened amid a campaign war. Interestingly, Donald Trump accused the Democratic Party of staging a coup against Biden. These words were not surprising since Trump, who had just survived an assassination attempt, positioned himself as the favorite against a erratic and deteriorating Biden.

The raised fist after that controversial attack represented the strength and vitality that proudly represents the United States in all its superhero movies. While we were in this situation, Vice President Kamala Harris, who had seemed somewhat gray next to Biden, began generating sympathies and, above all, economic income that soon left behind that Hollywood portrait.

It is clear that for Americans, the fundamental things are their global hero narrative, money, and their "justified" authority. So, faced with the cascade of support for Harris, Trump saw his media displacement and declared that a coup against Biden was being carried out. It is well known that for a Thanos, it is always convenient to have a weak hero, as he sees them as small and vulnerable.

When the scenario changes and a figure surpasses him in intellectual strength, social influence, and financial power, the impact on his campaign has been surprising. Even the Republican's favorite TV channel has shown a poll where Kamala Harris surpasses him by 4% in the voting intention.

Another major event was the capture of "Mayo," which bolsters the Democrats' authority, seriousness, and intention to end the sale of one of the deadliest drugs of all time, fentanyl.

Thus, two birds are killed with one stone. Firstly, J.D. Vance's speech, which is based on the disruption of American family values and the degradation of the working class, is countered. He is recognized as one of the few privileged who overcame American poverty rooted in the mountains, where they are often discriminated against and treated as ignorant by the rest of the country.

His figure cannot be represented as a white extremist, neo-Nazi, or populist, as his speech is more related to sensitive points such as class discrimination, the dispossession of Ohio's steel industry, and the consequent widening gap between poverty and the middle class. This gap is evident in the deterioration of property values, social conditions, and the economy, which leads to problems like violence, school dropouts, and addictions. This latter issue affected his mother's stability and mental health.

Dealing with these issues during his childhood and adolescence created strong ties within the rural American society, where family is a fundamental part of defense and struggle, something millions of Americans identify with.

Secondly, the Democratic Party has just shown its base and all the discontented with Biden's sober government that American power as enforcers of justice is real and can even materialize outside its borders, just like in Marvel movies. The decisive capture of infamous drug lords makes Trump's candidacy seem less imminent. Even though Kamala Harris has not yet been nominated by her party's college, this achievement offers a breath of fresh air to any contender chosen by that party.

The nature of this intelligence and capture operation, led by the FBI instead of the DEA, highlights the American government's three main interests: eliminating people or circumstances that threaten their population's strength, avoiding indirect Chinese retaliation similar to the opium wars on American soil, and protecting their economy by strengthening their capital interests domestically and internationally. They do this through direct actions that force their trade partners to align with policies protecting their businesses from crime, which has increasingly hindered the flow of goods and raw materials into the country in recent decades.

Extraterrestrial justice or sovereign vulnerability is not justified, but one of Mexico's biggest challenges is to curb the violence, which has escalated to the point where people from Chiapas are migrating to Guatemala, indicating that Chiapas is in a worse situation.
