Being supported by Elon and trump is a giant red flag.
Stunning incompetence, promoting crypto currency scam as a head of state, obvious corruption.

I mean the difference is ever since Peron, Argentina has had probably the most incompetent leaders in the world. Hyperinflation, defaulted on national debt a bazillion times.
Milei seems not great but it’s not like the “establishment” there was great.
So different from the US where we elected a complete moron that blew everything up even though everything was more or less working

“More or less working” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
The US has been on a slide into a hellish dystopia since Reagan. The current Democrats wouldn’t be f****** up the way Trump is; but they don’t appear willing to actually fix things either. Their biggest policy win of the last half century was passing the Republican plan for Healthcare reform.

Yes. In a Democracy, the people are partially to blame for continuously electing incompetent people. However, there are also times that politicians mislead voters. John Fetterman is a prime example of this in the U.S.

So what's an example of people who deserve to live in democracy?
Greatest democracy in the world got 4 presidents assassinated and just elected a guy with a cult of fanatics that assaulted the main building of the legislative power.
So you can f\* off with that rhetoric.
Argentina is the only country in the world that judged their own military's commanders in a civilian court for crimes against humanity during their latest military dictatorship. No other country did it in the same way that Argentina. [It's an exceptional and unique case in the history of the modern world. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_the_Juntas)
We more than deserve our democracy and we will protect it no matter the cost. We don't need your permission nor care about your opinion about who should or shouldn't have a democratic system.

Deserve is not the right word. Democracy is apparently pretty hard. Outside of Europe, Australia, New Zeeland, Japan and maybe South Korea democracy hasn't been all that great at organizing the population. Apparently it's a sophisticated system ment for somewhat sophisticated civilisations.
The US is a bad example, it's a very flawed democracy and won't be one in a year or two.
No disrespect, but like the US, most of your country men are obviously too dumb to take a shit. So I really don't think this is a system that's going to be all that great for for you guys.

There's like 3 decades of dictatorships there. Some openly sponsored by the US. You can't blame argentinian people on those.
Also, some elections in the early XXth century were decided by scandalous fraud.
Maybe learn some history before going around blaming people you don't know.

Poor Argentinians can’t catch a break. They thought Trump-lite would be the savior to “drain the swamp” and they got just about as much of that promise delivered as Americans did.
Unfortunately for Milei though, his supporters are not as cultish as MAGA and will turn on him.

From what I can tell Milei's term has mostly been a lateral move where it's both gotten worse and better depending on what sector of the population you look at with it balancing out to roughly be the same. His main goals of controlling inflation and debt have by and largely been failures (inflation is slightly below when he started but was much higher for 2 of the 3 years he's ruled, debt continues to go up and up).

If you don't count the default we were going sure, if you are a public employee you are objectively worse. Most of everyone else is better save for specific sectors like a few manufacturers.

The "extreme corruption thing" is having double standards that would make Conservatives in the USA look like little Angels, and it has been proved to be financed[ by Russia](https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/investigation-reveals-milei-was-targeted-by-russia-disinformation-campaign.phtml).
Example, right now there is a "scandal" about one of Milei's ministers inviting his wife on a programmed fly to New York. This costed the state exactly 0 more Pesos in costs because the fly was gonna be done no matter if she flew or not. She had also paid around 70 dollars in taxes on an private seat that she didn't use because she would rather travel along with her husband.
In summary she gave the state 70 dollars in exchange for nothing.
This is considered a "scandal" because it technically classifies as using public resources for private goals.
The same people criticizing this, said absolutely nothing when Cristina Kirchner was using the Presidential Jet to deliver her a newspaper for a PR campaign, or when her daughter went to her own birthday with the Presidential Jet.
This is the level of double Standards Milei has to deal with.
