Argentina only has two modes, Fascism or Peron, no in-between.

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….

Wonder if he's redirecting it all to the army or some other sort of enforcer

I imagine just trying to cut government spending, since the Argentinian government has been printing money like no tomorrow. Their economy is in shambles and inflation is up like 400% or something.

This guy is an absolute nut job but after the establishment left and establishment right failed to fix anything, you can kind of see why he won by 11%.

I wonder wtf will happen and how this isn't the same as huge inflation considering hospitals, schools, police even the electricity and sewer guys aren't going to be working. Right?

They are in perpetual crisis since forever. People are getting desperate and voting for anything that's not 'more of the same'.

This is why you do not leave fascists alive once you've managed to get them out of power.

Sounds like he’s trying to recreate North Korea.
