Argentina has elected a Trump-like personage as its president, leaving political pundits to wonder what it all means.
The new Argentinian president is Javier Milei, a showman who ran with a chainsaw as a prop, symbolizing that he’d cut government spending.
Milei considers the current Pope a “filthy leftist,” thinks redistributing wealth is a violent act, decries climate change rhetoric as a “lie of socialists,” and won’t deal with China because he doesn’t cut deals with Communists.
Milei also is anti-abortion and wants to end Central Banks, the unelected, all-powerful bodies that run monetary policy in many nations, including our own United States.
A guy such as Milei can come to power because the Woke policies of his many predecessors have turned a formerly successful country into a basket case.
Only Libya has posted more years of negative economic growth since 1951 (29) than has Argentina (25).
This is Argentina, with an abundance of natural resources and a formerly productive population – until the leftists dismantled the economy. Sound familiar?
Our home-grown leftists have been on a multi-decade hate America campaign. They’ve come to dominate education, government bureaucracy, courts and other aspects of this nation that once upon a time could be counted on to enforce the rule of law and stress its importance.
Instead, today we have blatant bias in the justice system. We have Woke dominance in education. We have bureaucrats who believe it is their duty to resist a ruling, duly elected political party with whom they do not agree philosophically.
The current strategy of the Democratic Party regarding Donald Trump is to persecute him in the courts and if that doesn’t work, simply legislate him away by denying him the opportunity to run again for President.
This is what happens when polls indicate the cold bowl of mush you have as an incumbent president losing in key battleground states, as well as on generic nationwide ballot polls.
Democrats, when they take a break from hyperventilating about saving democracy, are actively seeking to destroy it.
It chills them to the soles of their tapdancing feet when a populist such as Milei wins a national election and reminds them how the Trump message just might produce a similar result here – unless enough suitcases full of ballots can be ginned up and run through scanners after poll observers have been sent home for the night.
In the heighth of arrogance, Biden and his handlers have embarked on a campaign to proclaim the greatness of Bidenonomics and brand those who might disagree with its success as just being too stupid to realize how well they are doing.
It is this kind of elitism – think Marie-Antoinette inviting hungry French peasants to eat cake – that leads to major upheavals.
It happened this week in Argentina, prompting radical leftists to worry it might happen here, too.
