From everything I've heard about the election in Argentina, it was the meeting of "Anything is better than this" and "it can always get worse." The former won, and proved the latter correct.

No, the current policies are just getting reality and practice closer together.

IRL their money was ALREADY devalued soooooo much, he didn't do anything to change that, just adjusted it to reality.

Subsidies on imported oil is CRAZY for a bankrupt country. YOU GUYS HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE DECADES OF 100% OR MORE INFLATION PER YEAR.

Argentina needs shock therapy to realize milei is a dumbass

That's what I thought about the US and Trump, yet here we are...

We had the same in the UK with Brexit and Boris. We assumed that because everything is shit, backing people looking to do drastic changes that experts agreed was horrific was worth it. It wasn't, and now people are even poorer...

Kirchner and croneys did soooooo much damage and noone spoke up except milei

Even if he is a moronic religious extremist, he's still RIGHT about many things.

And the people just wanna get rid of NARCO DICTADORS OF THE LEFT KIND.

All in all, extremism isn't good. It leads to dictators collaboration with drug lords and ruzzia/china
