A man with hair that’s baffling the world and who proudly called liberals “sh*t leftards” is poised to become the next president of Argentina, according to political experts. His name is Javier Milei, and he’s taking both Argentina and the world by storm. This libertarian-leaning firebrand isn’t shy about expressing his disdain for the progressive movement. In fact, he won the primary without spending much more than a dime by boldly calling out the left’s anti-human policies and their long list of failures.

Milei’s rise is a familiar tale, reminiscent of President Trump, Bolsonaro in Brazil, Bukele in El Salvador, Khan in Pakistan and Meloni in Italy. People are sick and tired of the failed and dangerous globalist policies that are destroying the middle class. These policies are creating a brazen and vicious group of power-hungry elites, and good people are rebelling all over the world. And that’s why Javier Milei just won the primary and is about to go on and possibly win the presidency. The way he’s relentlessly criticizing the progressive/woke movement is striking a chord with the people. It’s exactly what they want to hear.

Milei has whipped up a political hurricane, tossing everyone and everything into a tailspin, and it’s just delicious to watch it all unfold.

Makes you wonder if the left-wingers in Argentina are frantically dialing up John Podesta and Obama, begging them for pointers on how to “fortify” a national election. After all, he’s fully aware that they stole 2020 from President Trump.

It’s no secret why Milei’s anti-left message is striking a chord with so many people. From Argentina to the far corners of the globe, folks are fed up with the chaos and perversion the left has unleashed on decent law-abiding citizens.

Open Democracy:

A political tsunami has hit Argentina with far-right libertarian economist Javier Milei winning the largest share of the vote in the presidential primary elections last Sunday, 13 August. It’s no longer far-fetched that Milei could become president; in fact, it now seems the most likely scenario.

“We are the true opposition,” he declared. “We are the only ones who want real change. Because remember: a different Argentina is impossible with the same old ones, who have failed.”

The primaries, in which presidential candidates from all parties take part, is seen as a good gauge of the actual election, scheduled for 22 October. Milei’s party Freedom Advances (La Libertad Avanza) took 30% of the total vote, while Milei (who had no rival for his party’s presidential nomination) won the most votes at an individual level.

The centre-right opposition coalition Together for Change (Juntos Por el Cambio) came second on 28%, with hardline ex-security minister Patricia Bullricht becoming its candidate for president. These two results – Milei’s overall victory and Bullrich’s victory as nominee – entails a significant advance for the right.

Left-wing policies are big political losers, unless there’s cheating involved. And when the usual tricks don’t work, the left won’t hesitate to lock up their opponents. That’s how desperate they are to win, no matter the cost. The Open Democracy piece continues:

The ruling centre-left coalition Union for the Fatherland (Unión por la Patria) came third on 27%. It was the worst result for Peronism – a movement identified with former president Juan Domingo Perón, whose main banner is social justice – since the return of democracy 40 years ago. Union for the Fatherland’s presidential candidate will be the current economy minister Sergio Massa, who won the primary comfortably. But governing took its toll: Union for the Fatherland lost almost half of the votes it won in 2019.

Javier Milei is leading the pack and looking like the favorite for the second round of voting in November. This bold and brave man will likely be the next president of Argentina.

It’s unlikely that any of the three candidates – Milei, Bullrich, Massa – will win the presidency in the first round, which requires 45% of the votes (or 40% plus a difference of ten percentage points from the second-placed candidate). But Milei is now the favourite to win the run-off in November.

Milei promised to blow up the system and that’s why he won. He gave the people what they want: political revolution.

Milei anchored his campaign on the promise of uprooting the “political caste” and what he sees as its byproducts: a bureaucratic state that cares for those in need. Before he began his victory speech in a packed hotel in downtown Buenos Aires, Milei’s excited young supporters chanted: “They all must go – not a single one of them must remain.” That slogan, aimed at the country’s political parties and their leaders, was last heard on Argentina’s streets during the severe economic and political crisis of 2001.

The bipartisan political system born out of that crisis – basically centre-left ‘Kirchnerism’ based on Néstor Kirchner’s presidency in 20o3 and his wife Cristina Fernández’s two terms (2007–15) followed by the centre-right ‘anti-Kirchnerism’ of Mauricio Macri, who won in 2015 – has ended with the emergence of Milei.

Now the country is back in crisis. Inflation is above 100%, 50% of the population does not have secure employment, 40% live in poverty and there’s been no growth for more than a decade. In the 20th century, Argentina boasted of being a sort of European island in Latin America; now it increasingly resembles its neighbours.

We’re rooting for this brave man, but he’s got a tough journey ahead. The left doesn’t let go of power without a brutal fight, so let’s keep Javier and the people of Argentina in our thoughts and  prayers. They’re voting and battling for change in a world that has lost its sanity and its soul, and they’ll need all the support they can get.
