Did El Salvador just vote to end democracy?

Marvin Recinos/AFP via Getty ImagesThe world’s “coolest dictator,” Nayib Bukele, wins reelection. On February 4, as El Salvador held presidential elections, current president Nayib Bukele showed up at a polling place accompanied by speakers blasting “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” by R.E.M.
The song choice was deliberate — Bukele was once again trolling critics who claim he’s steering the country toward autocracy. For a while, his Twitter bio read “The World’s Coolest Dictator.”

На трёх станциях по всей Японии астрономы наблюдали кривые блеска на своих мониторах и увидели то, чего не ожидали: постепенное угасание там, где, согласно законам физики, должно было произойти резкое исчезновение. Угасание, которое могло означать только одно. Объект, прошедший перед этой... Read more
