A former tantric sex coach who plans to do away with Argentina’s public health and education systems, disband the central bank, dollarise the economy and allow people to sell their organs has moved a step closer to becoming the next president of Argentina after a landslide win in open primaries.

I… Wow, what an opening. Every time I think the far right can’t surprise me anymore, I am proven wrong - there is another nutjob out there ready to jump into the limelight.

He is also a libertarian. I hope Argentina is able to steer clear of the populist tides, because otherwise they are gonna see some bad policy decisions.

Absolutely. The past few years (almost decade, at the point) have revealed to me there are far more gullible, stupid and hateful people out there than I had imagined.
