I have to wonder if the fascists of the dictatorship have offspring who got into in government after the Dirty War dctatorship was believed to have ended, and they have been working hard to pave the way to the newer version of those monsters. Clearly former President Macri, himself has fascist allies still throughout the country, it has appeared.

It would be no surprise at all if they could have simply thrown the voting results to this treacherous lunatic, I'll bet.

This continues to shock and horrify, peppertree. It still doesn't seem real.

Thanks for this information.

When voters were polled about Milei's headline proposals - the dollarization, shock devaluation, privatizing pensions and public works, capital flight deregulation and more - most were against them.

The most pathetic example of this, is his victory in the provinces (he won 19 or 20, out of 23), because Milei's openly pledged to end revenue sharing - which most depend on for 60% or more of their budgets.

They'd be pushed into an instant depression, should those plans be pushed through.

But voters' itch to "punish" Alberto Fernández for failing turn the economy around (as if anyone could have) outweighed their policy concerns.

Many literally voted for him because they "didn't think he would actually win" (!).

Suffice it to say, once Milei kickstarts his program - much of it no doubt by decree (as Macri did) - most of his voters will be in for a very rude awakening.

Perhaps deep down, they wanted another collapse. There's tremendous negativity in Argentina, I can tell you - especially in Buenos Aires (many of whom resent being Argentine - particularly right-wingers).

A little like the man who loses something dear - and then goes into a fit, throwing valuables out the window and yelling at God things like "you want more? Take it!!"

And once he calms down a little, starts sobbing - asking "why didn't you stop me?"

That said, Happy Thanksgiving Judi. While not without our problems, we have so much to be thankful for - just to be here in America.

Still in shock, here!

I read your comments carefully, concerning this profoundly serious decision the voters made. They will have a lot of time to regret their choice on this I am 100% certain.

Maybe hearing Trump's nasty obnoxious voice will replay itself for you as it said "I love the undereducated." Ain't that the truth!

Looks as Argentina has as many "provincials" as we do here, doesn't it? So very sad. By all means, people around the world will be "crying for Argentina." Hope it doesn't go as far down that road again as it went last time.

It's astonishing seeing so much duplication across the globe now. Brings so much into sharp focus.

Your post reminded me of the Jujuy governor who, with Macri, has terrorized, tormented, persecuted Native people, along with others.
I love to imagine they are all living on borrowed, or actually stolen, time!

Stay warm. Looks as if we are headed for some very chilly days soon! Thank you.
