    How very original of him.

    All these far-right governments making their countries great again must be why the world feels so great right now. It’s clearly working very well indeed.

    What the fuck does that even mean? Like Juan Manuel de Rosas era, Evita era, giant sloth and terror bird era, or some other era? Like, I love Argentina and have been to Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls. It’s a beautiful country full of beautiful people. But what is the time period dumbfucks there have created some sort of lore around?

    In the U.S., the right romanticizes the days of polio and scarlet fever and stupid wars and pretends it was basically the movie Grease. What’s the Argentine equivalent?

      Hands down, clearly the terror bird era.

      Spending money in bringing back the Patagorhacos terrificus will solve every single problem Argentina has (or maybe just make them smaller in comparison).

      Plus, what if Uruguay or Brazil start their own terror bird programs? If Argentina invests now in phorusrhacids, they will have the upper hand and more time for a stable population.

    Argentina has always been known for being the most European country in South America, plus the Nazi immigration back in the day couldn’t have helped…

      Argentina is the clear example of why you should never ever mix Italians and Spaniards. Their combination brings economic calamity and delicious food.

      I mean Argentina has a history of facism, xenophobia, and racism. Not like they learned anything new from trump
