Javier Milei leading in the polls and stands a good chance of becoming Argentina's next president. There is hope for the world!!!

I know almost nothing about Argentina’s history. I vaguely remember a time of a military junta and a “Dirty War” involving murdering leftists probably with covert CIA support, but that’s about it. But now that the traditional Left-Right spectrum is decaying worldwide I have no idea about where Milel stands. When Biden is considered a Leftist nothing makes sense.

Ok, this is amusing: from the NYT: “ The New Enemies of Argentina’s Far Right: Swifties and the BTS Army”. Yes, Taylor Swift and BTS fans are ganging up on social media in Argentina to defeat Milei. But apparently he has the support of lots of young people anyway. I guess Milel is considered a Libertarian even though he is against choice on abortion. Heck, I voted for the Libertarian in 2020. By accident. But now I’m glad I didn’t vote Biden. Don’t tell my liberal friends.

I gave many hitchhikers a lift, surprisingly how much many knew about American politics. Most envied our electoral college since their prez is elected by one city.

From YouTube: “ Argentinian Trump’: Argentina elects 'anti-woke' conservative as president.” Let’s hope he’s sane, unlike Trump. Was “woke”, however it is defined now, a problem in Argentina?
