Argentina only has two modes, Fascism or Peron, no in-between.

Wonder if he's redirecting it all to the army or some other sort of enforcer

I imagine just trying to cut government spending, since the Argentinian government has been printing money like no tomorrow. Their economy is in shambles and inflation is up like 400% or something.

This guy is an absolute nut job but after the establishment left and establishment right failed to fix anything, you can kind of see why he won by 11%.

I wonder wtf will happen and how this isn't the same as huge inflation considering hospitals, schools, police even the electricity and sewer guys aren't going to be working. Right?

amazing how this is the exact same bullshit US republicans have been saying for a few decades at least.

They should move to that Utopia.

Every right winger from Saudi Arabia, to France, to Argentina, to the US is the same. They are angry, scared and most of the time poorly educated.

They are usually people with shit jobs who are losing their shit jobs and retirement to the elite. They don't know how to deal with this except lash out against immigrants and minorities.

If they look to the left for help usually they'll be told they are stupid (like me here) and to stop trying to dominate others.

I don't really have a solution to all their manufacturing jobs being moved to China, but I know oppressing women and killing gays ain't it.

So they have two options. Vote left, which will do nothing to help them and most of the time won't even acknowledge there is a problem. Or vote right, which tells they their anger is justified and if they can just get rid of this one last minority group things will go back to being great like they used to be!

They are in perpetual crisis since forever. People are getting desperate and voting for anything that's not 'more of the same'.

This is why you do not leave fascists alive once you've managed to get them out of power.

That's also the motivation between some of those stupid fake "Gen Z Can't Answer Simple Questions" videos.
