He ran a campaign claiming to be ancap libertarian and liberal (as you say, the world definition). However, if one listened closely to what he said and paid attention to what he did, as well as look at the local people he rubbed elbows with, one would understand immediately that he’s just a right-wing authoritarian populist.

He has met up with the same people behind Trump from the start, and as soon as he took over last year he pulled the same crap Trump is pulling in the US. He only became bolder now that Trump’s term began. That’s not appeasement, it’s knowing he has Trump backing him in case people here become too fed up with him. Though I have to wonder if Trump would even care.

Edit: Some people here are trying to paint trumpism = peronism as to distance Milei from Trump, but it’s bullcrap.

A point some people seem to miss is that this administration is attacking from the bottom. They make it seem like little kids are getting surgeries as soon as they declare they’re the opposite gender so no one “reasonable” could be against this ban.

Once this passes and no one objects, and nothing really changes because kids weren’t getting surgeries in the first place, they wait a while. Then they’ll find some other “issue” and move on to adult trans people.
