Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Both of these can be true...
Felt that exact same way about Trump after he didn't break absolutely everything like the media and my instincts told me he would, although the effects of the lockdowns and money printing (both of which he had no problem with) that we've felt the last few years greatly outweigh any positive change I saw in late 2020. He only broke the corporate media as far as I was concerned. I fear if he gets in this time and doesn't put the right people around him, his enemies will try to engineer some catastrophes to hang on his head on. Same could very well happen to Milei.
Lightning rod figures definitely challenge dogma though, which is necessary for civilization to advance.
