Sometimes it is hard for me to root for Mongolian businesses when they promote an artist like, Romero Britto, who is openly right-wing and has supported politicians who are against science and the protection of the earth.

So I have been using my Facebook page(not account) to follow only Mongolian news accounts and other Mongolian influencers. With every 9 or so Mongolian posts at the 10th reel I would get American right wing content. From OANN to MAHA reels. It is quite jarring.

It looks like #Mongolia's prime minister, Oyun-Erdene, is going to fight to keep his position. More specifically he might put on offense against the president, who he might have had falling out. A No-confidence vote is becoming more certain.
