The youth stayed awake until 5am in Argentina, following USA elections

397 sats \ 6 comments \ @didiplaywell 6 Nov Politics_And_Law

"Carajo", the leading media of the Argentinian Libertarian youth, had its ATH rating record (300k views) covering the USA elections well until it was finished. Which means that hundreds of thousands of young libertarian argentinians stayed awake until 5am on the verge of faint praying for Trump to win (and I did too). So important this election was and is for us. And as such it was celebrated.

For those in the USA, be mindful of that. Be mindful of the determining power you hold to define the destiny of nations 10.000 miles away. For the good.

We are thrilled and joyful. We woke up here jumping from our beds today. The future looks bright. On one hand, we thank you heartedly for this. On the other, we remember you of the power you hold on us.

I hope they aren't expecting Trump to be an American Milei. He had already had a shot and proved he's no Milei.

By no means, don't worry. We have always acknowledged what Trump is. In fact we celebrate this while simultaneously bracing ourselves in expectation of Trump protectionist measures to cause great damage, both to us and the USA.

But again, Kamala was so, so much worse. She is full blown communist, it would have been devastating. To such an extent that not even Ukraine wanted her, with officials expressing explicit favour to Trump. That speaks volumes.

I hadn't heard about her Ukrainian opposition. That's pretty funny.

This is from 5 days ago, from the Kiev Independent. That says all:

They tried to kill him, twice. What better endorsement is there?

It undoubtedly is a testament to his conviction but it's completely irrelevant from the point of view of a good government. All and every single dictator that has existed survived assassination attempts, yet that doesn't make them any less terrible.
