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.
Yeah. I mean the constitution has a mechanism to stop this type of abuse and its impeachment. They know the constitution and the law. Then know this is wrong. I don't know how they could not see how no ones going to come out of this better. Its ultimately on them. I would place most of the blame on congressional republicans, then on right biased judges making political rulings, and finally trump and his administration which gets into the whole machine behind it. Its crazy how many people have to be crazy to get this result. Think tanks, congressmen, judges, extreme rich folks, trump, maga.
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.

I know nothing about Javier Milei nor about Argentinian politics in general. But I know he's a bad person because Trump endorses him.

Could it be his love for dictators and pedophiles?

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.

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
HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 322d
Lol. I didn't. I went by news sources that quoted him.
I can't listen to him either.

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.

Is this foreign interference?

Yeah. It used to be done discreetly by the CIA but Trump is trying to cut costs.

Classic. The Monroe Doctrine exists to ensure only the US can meddle in the Americas.

Someone on here said, and I'm trying, that we should stop talking about Trump and say instead, "Republicans did <whatever awful thing>."

How out of touch with reality must you be to think saying that will make people vote for your lackey?
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 322d
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

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.
