    Surprise, the Nazi drug lord is being funded by the CIA. They proceed to declare the election fraudulent, overthrow the elected leftist leader, and turn the country into a right-wing hellscape for the next 20 years.

      As a South american I just can’t disagree with this…

      Milei is already complaining about that, I think they will try to do the same as the Bolsonaro kids do but it will probably go even worse for them since most of the libertarians are 20 year old incels who haven’t done an ounce of manual labour in their life.

    Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina all went through this.

    What’s with latin america and it’s relation with extreme alt-right parties? You’d think a continent so ravaged by capitalism & imperialism they would opt for left-wing parties?

      The legacy of US interventionism kneecapping any left-wing movements and the legacy of colonialism, I’d imagine. I believe most of the upper class in those countries are descendants of former colonial overlords.

      Anyone remotely left wing was violently repressed while right wingers were encouraged. Not to mention the US Confederate cope cities and Nazi rat lines pumping the worst kind of people into the continent

    The idea that 20% of people voted, and this is seen as representative for anything, is ridiculous.

        Ah my bad, I thought the number of the poll votes where the number of people that came out to vote.
