Text on the meme

INAPPROPRIATE We're having a democratic election Fine by me We voted in a socialist CIA QUICK! I NEED A FASCIST DICTATOR ASAP!

What it means

A two-panel political cartoon shows South America next to a woman with a United States flag covering her face. She approves of a democratic election, but after the country votes in a socialist, she urgently calls the CIA to request a fascist dictator. The joke references U.S. interventionism and Cold War-era opposition to socialist governments in Latin America.
