If elected president, economist Javier Milei has pledged to eliminate government spending on research and shut down the environment and health ministries.
It’s funny how you can have 10 or more years of right wing government fuckin up the country, and next election people at best would elect some centrist, or if they feel very progressive someone center left.
But when you a have bad left wing government or even a mediocre one, people swing fuckin hard on the other direction and starts electing these turds.
Something else I’ve noticed in general around the world is: having a right-wing government gravely hurt them economically (while benefiting a chosen few) but only feeling the bulk of those effects during the term of the next government (be it center-left, left-wing, center-right or sometimes even another different right-wing gov) so they blame it on that government and go back to voting the original culprits during the third term.
