Tbh we want a Bukele in my south American country. Crime is running rampant

There's no question they've arrested innocent people and the prisoners are being treated poorly, but it's hard to judge when I don't have to deal with drug cartels/gangs and make their monthly salary in a couple days.

Yeah, as long as we don't get jailed without justification, it's good.

It is sad to see people unaware of different conditions in the world. They have this feelings that one set of rules is good for everyone.

I know. Also tfw left and right is different outside of the US lol

You are very correct.

I don't really want someone who is "tough on crime"in Russia, China or Taiwan , but I can understand why people in Haiti would be in favor of it.

For a future in which Bukele unites south America under the banner of zero crime, since our local presidents are just stupid and corrupt and wastes of space.

Politicians have a bad habit of not giving up power. Hopefully, when the time comes, he graciously steps down or works on addressing the rights he had to curtail to do what he's done.
