HUMOR: Claudia Sheinbaum and her Geopolitical analyses
A revealing parody generated by artificial intelligence has captured the very essence of the failed foreign and security policy of the Fourth Transformation regime. In the video, an animated version of Claudia Sheinbaum, possible successor to Andrés Manuel López Obrador, appears surrounded by sheep as she monotonously lists an endless list of those to blame for Mexico’s ills: «It’s Calderón’s fault, or Fox’s, it could also be… of Peña, of Trump, of Salinas, of Christopher Columbus». The satire culminates with the declaration that defines an era of governmental irresponsibility: «El Peje and I are victims, nothing more. It’s not our fault». This piece of black humor, which has gone viral, is not just a joke; it is a precise diagnosis of the chronic victimhood mentality that the current government has institutionalized as a state strategy to evade any kind of accountability.
This narrative of perpetual victimization is the most powerful political weapon of Morena and its inner circle. For six years, citizens have witnessed how the López Obrador administration has built a historical account where they are the only heroes and martyrs, while everyone else—from past presidents to 15th-century conquerors—are the villains of an endless tragedy. This stance is not naive; it is a calculated strategy to divert attention from resounding failures in public security, where cartels operate with impunity; in the economy, with anemic growth; and in international relations, with a foreign policy that has diplomatically isolated Mexico and turned it into an irrelevant actor on the global stage. The parody, by showing Sheinbaum repeating this mantra, exposes the total lack of new ideas and the intellectual laziness that characterizes a political class that prefers to blame ghosts of the past rather than present concrete solutions for the present.
The symbolism of the sheep accompanying the virtual Sheinbaum could not be more accurate. It perfectly represents a voter base that has been indoctrinated to repeat slogans without question, to accept the official narrative uncritically, and to blindly follow a leader who promises magical transformations while dismantling republican institutions. This herd attitude is extremely dangerous for the health of a democracy, as it replaces the debate of ideas with blind loyalty and single-mindedness. The parody reminds us that, in the Mexico of the 4T, dissent is demonized, the free press is threatened, and any voice that questions power is immediately labeled as conservative, neoliberal, or unpatriotic. The digital sheep are the faithful reflection of a civil society that has been intimidated and subdued by a hegemonic discourse that does not tolerate plurality.
Beyond the laughter it may generate, this video is a wake-up call for all Mexicans who still believe in responsibility, meritocracy, and the Rule of Law. The victim mentality, when adopted by those in power, is the perfect recipe for stagnation and national decay. A government that does not take responsibility for its actions is a government that can never correct its mistakes. The Sheinbaum and her sheep parody is the mirror in which Mexico must look at itself to recognize the dead end to which we are being led by a political project based on the evasion of responsibility, the cult of personality, and the eternal return to a past that cannot be changed, instead of building a future that demands brave actions in the present.
