Election of Milei, Wilders and Cogswell Has the Left Worried : American Greatness

Wilders made a name for himself combatting the murderous rage of Muslim extremists. The Guardian doesn t like what it describes as his anti-migrant agenda. But since most of those migrants are Muslim, a good many of whom have indicated their preference for establishing Sharia law in the Netherlands, I think that Wilders has political reality, if not progressive ideology, on his side.

Will he actually be able to form a government? That remains to be seen. I d say the odds were in his favor, especially at a moment when lunatic jihadists groups like Hamas have not only indulged in their favorite kinetic sport of killing Jews en masse but have also mobilized anencephalic progressive ideologues on campuses across the Western world.

We don t have to wait to to discover the political fate of Javier Milei. He handily won the presidential election on November 19, 56 percent to 44 percent, and will take power on December 10.

I think Milei is one of the most refreshing figures to appear on the political scene in a long time. I suspect that his flamboyant style makes him easy to underestimate. How appalling, for example, that this son of a bus driver should dismiss the Argentinian political establishment as shit socialists and libtards, collectivists who want to destroy  their opponents. You can t give them an inch, he warns, you can t negotiate with leftards   because they will kill you. Impolitic, yes.  But is it untrue?

In a remarkable speech he gave on November 24, Milei used burgeoning power to speak truth to power.  He has not come, he said in a phrase he has used often, to guide lambs but to awaken lions. A new Argentina is impossible with the same old people. But the party is over, Milei warned. Henceforth, politicians, formerly the privileged elite, will be treated like ordinary honest Argentine citizens. The people, he said, are those awakening lions who will devour the thieving politicians. They will devour the prebendary businessmen. They will devour the unionists who betray their people.

Milei believes that a turning point has been reached and that change of the sort he envisions is inevitable. This works just like an exponential function, he said. At some point, there was a turning point and now they cannot stop it!

I’m less optimistic the Roger Kimball, and tbh he’s not all that optimistic. For all the caterwauling about democracy, the people do not have all that much power, as much of our recent history illustrates.
