    Honestly, if it wasn’t horrific it would seem like parody, the way it happened. Just an absolute tragedy of errors, beginning with the “error” of re-electing Don the Demented.

      To people on the outside it’s a case of the citizens they once treated somewhat better than the black and indIgneous ones seeing the country firsthand.

      They take no responsibility, thieve your shit and are brutal.

      Edit: this is no error. They’d elect him again too after a few years. Over half the country are bad people.

      Saying it’s a tragedy of errors implies this was unintended or an accident. The way that went down doesn’t look like it was, that was intentional.

      Is it an error if it is deliberate and wanted? First as policy of the people in power. Secondly by those who explicitly voted for this and third by those who tacitly approved by abstaining. Fourth by those who fail to recognize the immediate peril their anemic resistance has put them all in. No one can pretend this wasn’t entirely predictable.
