Extorting other countries now too
Lol tampering with foreign elections
That’s practically part of our heritage. What’s new is doing it in so ham-handed a fashion.
I know nothing about Javier Milei nor about Argentinian politics in general. But I know he’s a bad person because Trump endorses him.
Right-wing “Libertarian”/AnCap and cones with all the problems that carries
Usually for latinamerican politics, there’s no “good” ones, we are forced to pick the less bad but sometimes people pick the worse because they are angry at the previous parties.
Look at México, that’s how the expresident won, everyone turned a blind eye to his history to “teach previous parties a lesson”.And sometimes there’s no less bad, but we still have to pick.
That just sounds like democracies everywhere.
Could it be his love for dictators and pedophiles?
Is this foreign interference?
Yeah. It used to be done discreetly by the CIA but Trump is trying to cut costs.
when the orange turd says ‘make argentina great again’, does he mean when nazis fled there after ww2 to avoid prosecution?
He probably means when they had a right-wing authoritarian dictatorship that murdered everyone on the left.

He needs a backup plan if he lives past 2028.
His backup plan if he survives is to run for a third term. He’s already selling “Trump 2028” merch with a new campaign slogan “rewrite the rules.”
And the entire Republican party is behind that idea.
The way his speech went the other day it is doubtful he survives past 2026.
I can’t stand the sound of the man’s voice, how did you do it
Lol. I didn’t. I went by news sources that quoted him.
I can’t listen to him either.
remember when the zelinski blackmail was a big thing. good times. history classes are going to be interesting talking about how the only way trump could do what he did was due to these complicit members in cogress at the time.
Someone on here said, and I’m trying, that we should stop talking about Trump and say instead, “Republicans did <whatever awful thing>.”
Win-win.
Classic. The Monroe Doctrine exists to ensure only the US can meddle in the Americas.
How out of touch with reality must you be to think saying that will make people vote for your lackey?
This is argentina. The main opposition are a pile of thieves. The opposition before Milei to them is a round robin of people who seem to fail anyway.
The problem with argentina is the voting public
The problem
with argentinais the voting publicFTFY - world-fucking-wide
actually no. I mean yes, it’s a worldwide issue, but the point I’m making is that in terms of natural resources and system of governance, Argentina actually has a lot going for it. They have a two round election system, the elections are fair and reliable, the amount of terms someone can serve as president is limited, they have abundant natural resources, free and high quality public education, etc etc.
For all intents and purposes, the argentinian public doesn’t have as many excuses as other countries, for having such shitty governments. There’s no unfair vote distribution, there’s no lack of resources, there’s sufficient education opportunities for social mobility and so on and so forth. If they bothered voting for a decent party instead of idiots, they’d be faring far better than they are.
They should make up their minds. Do they want thieves or clown thieves?
What a brilliant show of democracy! It really makes me trust Trump when he talks about fair elections.
But no quid pro quo.
