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
Argentinian here, they voted for him because they believe these ministries are overly burdened with corruption, meaning all the money gets embezzled and the ministries don't actually function. Massa, the opposing candidate, minister of economy had an 150% increase in inflation during his tenure. Lastly, they don't think it can get much worse so why not try something different
Lmao can't get worse? They're in for a surprise
The point is that it's already so bad that they don't care.
Will they come back again once the economic situation goes good? I mean it is not a good solution for a long run.
It's easy for us to say it is not worst now. People are desperate for a change and desperate people cab do anything.
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.
