    After screwing up so much, it’s very expected. Kudos to Bolivians to be willing to abandon failed politicians rather than keep voting them over and over again.

      I mean, not really, voting for right wing candidates never works out better for a country. They’re welcome to try it, but it’ll go about as well as it always does across history. If the left-wing politicians suck, then they aren’t putting ones in power who actually give a crap about the people, or they’re blaming problems on the left wing government that actually aren’t of their making.

      I personally dont know which it is bcz Im not well versed in Bolivian politics. But my point still stands, left wing candidates not working out, shouldn’t mean vote in right wing nut jobs. But it usually does… bcz people are kind of stupid.

      I’m sure once things all turn to shit you’ll forget how much better they were under your current admin.

      Because that’s what every idiot does once they realize they’ve been conned.

      Name a single country that has actually improved with someone like Trump running it.

      Oh wow. It’s none.

      Anyway here’s the next 20 years of your life:

      • Your right wing leader blames everything bad on illegals and gays. (Which fixes nothing).
      • Everything gets worse for you. You get much poorer.
      • Your leader and his friends get richer.
      • There’s nothing you can do to improve anything. The system of government that could address said grievances you decided to replace with a strong man you think cares about you. He doesn’t. And when you need him to. He won’t.
      • So when you’re suffering and it’s his fault, you won’t even know, you’ll likely blame illegals, because you’re cleaely an idiot that easily falls for this bullshit.
