Lol .. conservatives of the US are being so unbelievably energized by Melieu and that 14-year-old who's president of El Salvador and ended up solving all the gang violence.... And he succeeded with an idea no one had ever thought of before... Building prisons and locking up criminals....

We see a lot of ourselves in what's going on in Brazil... With Luis Ignacio Lula de Silva... Dilma... Bolsonaro.... There's a lot of similarities in corrupt Establishment politician backstabbing.... Putting political enemies in jail...

But if you would have told me 2 years ago that Argentina would voluntarily elect a president promising shock therapy? Promising a destruction of the government. Bureaucracy the professional political class... Promising to hack and blender The Argentinian deep state right out the gate?....

Remember that soft-spoken handsome. Believe he was an economist too. Marcari? He's The Argentinian mitt Romney... Nice guy. Visit with at a barbecue... But doesn't understand that he's in the pocket of the elite collectivist corrupt Establishment class... He brought a knife to a gun fight...

We need maga... We need Trump... Need a bullet or China shop. Doesn't give a fuck about the superficial fake. Nice things that get smashed...

Way too much of it has already infiltrated into North America indeed, but fortunately we still haven't reached Brazilian levels of doublethink. Ottawa is dangerously close, though, as I have described in my latest post. And the recent kangaroo trials in the US tell me both that the judiciary is in a dangerous state of decay in many states, such as New York, but also that politically undesired presidential candidates are unable to force their way through.

That was great! .. I did a 💭experiment a few months back trying to tease out the straight line. No stops or Slowdowns... As if this wasn't a slow boil... And express train to Jim Jones Kool-Aid crazy Town if you will...

Thanks! There's a lot more to say about Brazil and we should do everything to avoid this stuff from crossing over to North America (even when entering legally).
