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...

The only time we had a true left government CIA overthrow it... We just hope that Allende never again πŸ₯²

Never forget the real 9/11

Also don't forget the lion of damascus's birthday

Klaus barbie meets all these criteria. Like you aren't even exaggerating.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The US used Barbie and other Nazi Party members to further anti-communist efforts in Europe.

Every day I learn another ghoulishly awful thing about America.

[–] big_spoon@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 year ago

well, the meme is very accurate about latam in the 20th century

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.

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 55 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Milei is the guy who wants to make USD Argentina's currency?

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 42 points 1 year ago

yep, he also wanted to make organ traficking more accessible

[–] swiftessay@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it's also the guy who takes advice from the spirit of his dead dog. I'm not kidding.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that may be a joke, it was usual to make fun of Maduro because, after Chavez died, he said a he appeared in form of a bird and gave him advice.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wish a revolutionary would visit me as a bird to give me advice ngl

didn't he want to use bitcoin? :)

I think that's the president of El Salvador

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's possible. But there is also another South American country whose insane president embraced crypto so just gotta make sure we aren't confusing them.

a tale as old as time

[–] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This Milei human gets on the map as soon as Argentina relations wirh China get even closer. I'm sure it's just a coincidence

[–] sovietsnake@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago

He's been building his "career" for a few years now, but he gained the biggest popularity in the last 2 years.

[–] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 1 year ago

Not really, it's all whites, and there is no actual left

[–] Trudge@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 1 year ago

The branding for the poll is perfect - America Elects.

[–] star_wraith@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

50.8% to 49.2% feels like it’s a lot closer than it should be.

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

The second option should be updated to say: "guy who likely has sex with his sister who talks to his dead dogs for him"

[–] Buchenstr@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] LoomingMountain@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] AmarkuntheGatherer@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The election had a 77% turnout and the run-off is tomorrow, what are you referring to?

I thought yhe number of the poll was the numbernof people that voted. My bad.

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s actually only 2,005 people total in the poll out of 35.4 million registered voters.

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

Please post links to tweets, not screenshots of them

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I do when I have the links, but sometimes people just repost screenshots on other platforms, and that's all you get

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago
