I know nothing about Javier Milei nor about Argentinian politics in general. But I know he's a bad person because Trump endorses him.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Could it be his love for dictators and pedophiles?
Right-wing “Libertarian”/AnCap and cones with all the problems that carries
Usually for latinamerican politics, there's no "good" ones, we are forced to pick the less bad but sometimes people pick the worse because they are angry at the previous parties.
Look at México, that's how the expresident won, everyone turned a blind eye to his history to "teach previous parties a lesson".
And sometimes there's no less bad, but we still have to pick.
That just sounds like democracies everywhere.
when the orange turd says 'make argentina great again', does he mean when nazis fled there after ww2 to avoid prosecution?
He probably means when they had a right-wing authoritarian dictatorship that murdered everyone on the left.

He needs a backup plan if he lives past 2028.
The way his speech went the other day it is doubtful he survives past 2026.
I can't stand the sound of the man's voice, how did you do it
Lol. I didn't. I went by news sources that quoted him.
I can't listen to him either.
His backup plan if he survives is to run for a third term. He's already selling "Trump 2028" merch with a new campaign slogan "rewrite the rules."
And the entire Republican party is behind that idea.
Lol tampering with foreign elections
That’s practically part of our heritage. What’s new is doing it in so ham-handed a fashion.
Is this foreign interference?
Yeah. It used to be done discreetly by the CIA but Trump is trying to cut costs.
Classic. The Monroe Doctrine exists to ensure only the US can meddle in the Americas.
remember when the zelinski blackmail was a big thing. good times. history classes are going to be interesting talking about how the only way trump could do what he did was due to these complicit members in cogress at the time.
Someone on here said, and I'm trying, that we should stop talking about Trump and say instead, "Republicans did <whatever awful thing>."
Yeah. I mean the constitution has a mechanism to stop this type of abuse and its impeachment. They know the constitution and the law. Then know this is wrong. I don't know how they could not see how no ones going to come out of this better. Its ultimately on them. I would place most of the blame on congressional republicans, then on right biased judges making political rulings, and finally trump and his administration which gets into the whole machine behind it. Its crazy how many people have to be crazy to get this result. Think tanks, congressmen, judges, extreme rich folks, trump, maga.
Extorting other countries now too
How out of touch with reality must you be to think saying that will make people vote for your lackey?
This is argentina. The main opposition are a pile of thieves. The opposition before Milei to them is a round robin of people who seem to fail anyway.
The problem with argentina is the voting public
The problem ~~with argentina~~ is the voting public
FTFY - world-fucking-wide
actually no. I mean yes, it's a worldwide issue, but the point I'm making is that in terms of natural resources and system of governance, Argentina actually has a lot going for it. They have a two round election system, the elections are fair and reliable, the amount of terms someone can serve as president is limited, they have abundant natural resources, free and high quality public education, etc etc.
For all intents and purposes, the argentinian public doesn't have as many excuses as other countries, for having such shitty governments. There's no unfair vote distribution, there's no lack of resources, there's sufficient education opportunities for social mobility and so on and so forth. If they bothered voting for a decent party instead of idiots, they'd be faring far better than they are.
They should make up their minds. Do they want thieves or clown thieves?
What a brilliant show of democracy! It really makes me trust Trump when he talks about fair elections.
Win-win.
But no quid pro quo.
