Poll of the Day » Argentina elected another Trump
Fuck
He's actually even worse than Trump, the guy is fully insane. But it's Argentina so the rest of the world likely won't be impacted at all.

Very much not the case
More the former than the latter tbh
Apparently the alternative was a liberal party with a public perception of being corrupt and a strong sense of establishment, so instead they voted in a guy who literally talks about hearing voices in his head on live TV.

Very familiar.
Good news.
I truly love Nanako.
I already know the answer but I still feel the need to ask: Does "Trump" just mean "bad leader" at this point? Because Javier Milei has nothing substantive in common with Trump/MAGA other than being an underqualified blowhard. Granted, Trump has no policy positions he wouldn't flip on if he felt pressured to but based on his record he has few similar and many opposing policies to Milei.

generally refers to a far-right populist. Bolsonaro, Orban, La Pen and Duterte are good examples. People don't say "Elected Another Trump" unless they fit those categories.

And the main thing they have in common is that they're abrasive blowhards. Policy-wise there's not much that unites all four of those people and even less if Trump is added.

Like, I'm not trying to be obtuse about this. For example, I know Trump says whack shit about blocking immigrants, which you can bowdlerize into "anti-immigrant" but even that oversimplification doesn't even unite those four politicians since Duterte wasn't specifically anti-immigrant. Not to mention Orban's stance on immigrants being almost irrelevant considering how few go to Hungary anyway. And that same pattern holds for most other stuff: Trump's position is bizarre and changes very easily > oversimplify it into something bordering inaccurate > matches like two other people the American media calls "The Trump of _______" > ignore that it doesn't apply well enough to establish a meaningful category > repeat.

No, I think you're being selective.

You're pretty right on with Duterte; immigration stayed fairly steady under him from what I can see. He encouraged refugees. Foreign workers and tourists seemed to go up.

I don't agree on Orban/Hungary. Recall Petra Lszl?

Orban makes very strong appears to national identity. He wears scarves that depict Greater Hungary. He strongly encourages anti-immigration sentiments. Right from him:

"I am the only politician in the EU who stands for an openly anti-immigration policy," Orban told a joint news briefing with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer in Vienna. "This is not a race issue for us, this is a cultural issue," he said.

I feel like you cherry picked the few things they have less in common with than one another. What do they have in common? Deregulation. Tax cutting. Shallow anti "woke" rhetoric. Limiting right to abortion. Cutting social programs. Even more glorification of law encforcement than Liberals. Even more pardons for corruption than Liberals. Appeals to Evangelical Christianity/Catholicism. I could continue.

Who the fuck moves to Hungary anyway. People move AWAY from Hungary, like my mom's entire extended family lol.
What would Bligh do?
I know a girl that's gone there a couple of times because her neighbor is this nice middle aged Hungarian lady with a 12 year old daughter. They help my friend with her dog. She's talked about going back there a third time. It looks like there're some nice sights, but she always complains about it too.

Their dollar might be, finally, for the better.

But well have to see. I assume MSM will report either negatively or falsely on it.

Dont know anything about the guy, or his relation to the WEF or the IDU.

There's a weird trend I've noticed of high-karma accounts I've never seen before coming out of nowhere to make one-sentence Trump-praising posts in topics like this. They never stick around to actually engage with the discussion further than that, they just lurk indefinitely, make these half-assed support posts, and slip back into obscurity. It's odd.

Yeah, like, I'll engage with no ill will. At least try to stick up for your ideas. I like admitting when I'm wrong and pushing when I'm pretty sure I'm more in the know.

That crossed my mind. It's still odd to only unlurk to post one-off comments like that, though.
