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

Also, especially in Argentina's case, because the other guys are literally the worst. ¹

¹ Except that this guy is somehow even more worst. But hey, at least it's new ² worst.

² It's not really new. Just the same old fascism ³, with a new shiny coat of paint. ⁴

³ Except somehow even more stupid and irrational than ever before.

⁴ It's not really paint. ⁵

⁵ Shit. It's shit. Brightly coloured shit, because of all the blood and other bodily fluids mixed in.

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?

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

Uhh what is going on in Argentina? Firsr Steam switches to USD because of the currency being unstable, and now their prez is promising to nuke a bunch of govt deparements?

Damn

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

Sounds like he’s trying to recreate North Korea.
