Bolivia had a leftwing government that got couped in 2019. An opposition politician declared herself president, and gave extraordinary powers to the army. Soldiers and police massacred people, particularly those from indigenous communities. Elections were finally held in 2020, and the leftwing party returned to power.
In the 2025 elections, Evo Morales, the leader of the leftwing coalition, was disqualified, and a centre-right candidate won. He started selling off public assets to foreign interests. Recently, with US support, he tried to arrest Morales, leading to protests.

Oh man I had forgotten about the pink Bible lady. I just can’t keep track of all our goddamned coups in Latin America.
