Argentina's Milei: "At some point people are going to die of hunger, and they are going to decide not to die"

[peppertree]

10. That Chucky doll learned from the best: the GOP - with whom he's pretty much lockstep

Milei's a numbskull - but he did learn this from Republicans: Blame all the country's ills on negros vagos - "dark-skinned freeloaders."

And it worked - especially with male voters, among whom he won by almost 20 points (compared to around 4 points among women).

Though now - with a 20%+ sudden drop in living standards and mass layoffs, voters are having second thoughts.

Moreover - the sequestered food scandal (5,000 tons of packaged food meant for soup kitchens, which Milei was letting rot - in hopes said soup kitchens would shut down), has become a real headache for the manic-depressive pill-popper.

Not least because he's since entrusted a medievalist Catholic grifter (Abel Albino) to "distribute" the food - and sure enough, so far half of it has gone to Albino's home province (to his "foundation," naturally).

Argentina's RW media has done a good job at gaslighting voters - many of whom are still willing to "give it a chance because it's never been tried before" (not true - but Argentines have poor memories, and aren't usually the sharpest tools besides).

But with no light at the end of the tunnel (the promised "deluge of business investment," of course, never materialized), that will only prop him up for so long.

Cry for Argentina.
