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

Imho. They are not voting based on those facts. They voted for him because he said the things they want to hear. Nothing to do with the truth; you’re not being kept down by billionaires, it is those (wink) people….

No one who thought about it ever thought trump would build that wall and Mexico would pay for it; but people scared of MS-13 being active in their podunk town rallied around him for saying that

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?

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!

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

Sounds like he’s trying to recreate North Korea.
