A message of hope for my usamerican followers having a hard time right now:
As i mentioned before, your situation is so similar to what I remember from the Argentina elections last year that I couldn't help to feel like i was going through it again. Given the result didn't change, and both ended in the extreme right winning, i'm going to share with you something I learned in my experience.
When Milei won, what hurted me the most was feeling the betrayal of my neighbors. Looking arround on the streets and feeling this sensation that everybody hated me and voted to erradicate me like a plague. I didn't want to be here anymore, I felt there was no space for me to belong.
As time passed by the thing started to change with all those people that were partying his victory.
My mother's best friend voted for him and during the first months i refused to speak with her but got updates by my mother. While the first time she admitted it she was cheering, claiming the country was going to get better and other kinds of bullshit, happiness didn't last more than two or three months.
Like many other argentinians, she got wrecked by the economic policy of Milei. Then, she started seeing the stupid, the crazy and dangerous her beloved president was all along. Almost a year has passed and now when I see her and the topic emerges on the conversation she cheers me for going to the protests against Milei. We always talk of coordinating with her work schedule because she wants to be in one, but her time disposition is complicated.
So, turns out that many of my countrymen voted for him as some sort of " get rich quick" scheme based on all the lies he spread about the true intentions on his ecomical plan, not because they hated me.
It's true, some of your neighbors will not realize the mistake they have commited and will keep supporting the crazy facist because of their bigotred hate. But others will wake up like the trojans realizing they have caused their own destruction bringing the horse inside.
And with those there is still hope of survival if you get together and fight back.
