Libertarian firebrand 𝐉𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐢 has just won the Argentine presidency. I feel like the “Blob,” e.g. the US State Dept. & the CIA must be too distracted at home w/ their domestic destabilization efforts, otherwise they would have prevented this

I don't know anything about him, but he clearly makes the "establishment" (especially the media) quake.

The disquieting shadow of Javier Milei looms over Argentine democracy

As Argentina marks 40 years of continued democracy — the longest stretch in its history — a disquieting shadow looms over its political landscape.

The emergence of Javier Milei, a libertarian economist-turned-presidential candidate with a rhetoric steeped in authoritarianism, presents a stark challenge to the nation's democratic fabric.

Milei's ambivalence towards democratic norms is evident. In a television interview, he questioned the efficacy of democracy, citing Arrow's theorem to argue against democratic decision-making. ...

As the second round of the presidential elections approaches on Sunday, the prospect of Milei's presidency raises each and every red flag, posing a grave threat to Argentina's democratic institutions.

Even if he is not elected, his authoritarian ideas and style, like rallying while brandishing a chainsaw, may linger in the country's political discourse, challenging democratic forces to forge a renewed social contract that fosters and expands democracy. ...

A Libertarian -- perhaps the pendulum will start swinging in a more positive direction around the globe. Now ... if the United States could just seat a conservative. 

‘Shock therapy’ libertarian candidate Javier Milei, who ran as outsider, wins Argentine presidential election

Reading the MSM accounts of this guy, you'd think he was the reincarnation of Adolph Hitler.

We'll find out soon enough if his election is a good thing.

An authoritarian libertarian is an oxymoron.

[mountaineer]

The nooze media generally refer to him as a hard-right uber-nationalist libertarian.

Well, if the MSM types refer to him that way, I have to wonder. 

That stuff is generally reserved for anyone to the right of Karl Marx.

@catfish1957

If the mainstream media is THAT afraid of him,chances are he is what Argentina needs.

The  hatred and fear of him by the media kinda reminds me of an American Presidential candidate,and his name does NOT start with the letters "De".

Know anybody like that?

@libertybele

We will find out what direction he wants to take,but he can't do it by himself. He is going to need support.

I don't know anything about him, but he clearly makes the "establishment" (especially the media) quake.

What a prejudiced piece.

Not knowing anything about Milei, but note again the contrast between “democracy” and “authoritarianism”.  First note democracy does not mean everything is peachy, and just because a guy doesn’t pitch the communist line, doesn’t make him authoritarian (again as if that’s all bad, and the irony of communists).

Absolutely nothing, I mean nothing can be believed from the MSM nowadays.

My method?   Consider everything the MSM reports is a lie, and then work back from there.

They're acting like Hitler was just elected. I hate these people.

Because it takes time to manufacture the correct number of ballots to ensure the right people win!.

Where is the USA version of this guy?

Where is the USA version of this guy?

Sure not Trump.  The Fed Deficit ballooned under his watch, and now he is promising Freedom Cites, Baby Bonuses, and Flying Cars to boot.

Short answer....   That animal does not exist (yet) in this country
