I expect it to but honestly with everything happening thus far I won’t underestimate the far right to cnatch victory from the jaws of defeat
It's just not gonna happen. Even the poster child of the emerging far-right in LatAm, Bukele, has it's country in a hole in terms of foreign debt, all the media strategies in the world will not change reality.
Even if they had monetary sovereignty it would be a difficult ask but they're completely beholden to the dollar.
This is just rearraranging the deck chairs at this point.
At this point in time, the best chance at democracy I see is a giant meteorite hitting DC when all branches of government are in session and actually at work, and even then people will clamor for "strong" leadership.
Apologies to any regular decent people in the area, I'll say a better shot is if a bigger one hits the deep south where I reside, simultaneously.
Bukele himself claimed to be a socialist, what happened to him?
His socialism is akin to when Elon Musk said he was a socialist.
