    Not to support this madman but the whole purpose of democracy is that not everybody agrees on how the job should be done.

    Apparently Argentinians decided this clown was their best bet. I have serious doubts but good luck to them.

      What this actually shows is how much previous governments fucked up and how desperate and angry the Argentine people were that this clown started to look like a good idea. To those with an outside perspective it was always obvious that this would only end badly, but to them it was an “any port in a storm” situation.

        This is the correct take. They have had little stability in decades. Watching children eat roasted rat on the street can have an effect on you.
