From Ben Norton:

Far-right extremist Javier Milei won Argentina’s presidential election.

Milei wants to: -legalize the sale of children and human organs -abolish public healthcare, education, and transportation -abandon monetary sovereignty and adopt the US dollar

He says his dead dog Conan speaks to him from the afterlife and advises him on economic policy.

Argentina was invited to join BRICS, but far-right president-elect Javier Milei has pledged to withdraw.

The extremist boasted: “Our geopolitical alignment is with the U.S. and Israel. We are not going to align with communists”

    I don’t know enough about Argentina’s demographics to know why they would vote for someone like this. All I know is that “platform” could probably win an election in my country and that is terrifying. I hope the people of Argentina don’t suffer too much.

      That platform could win on most latin american countries, blaming everything on leftists and licking the US boots is the latin american conservatives ideology.
