[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The authoritarian playbook goes back further than Bukele.[/quote]

This is how they all start. Most start are with significant support and popularity and everything is great until it isn’t. He got rid of the gangs in El Salvador which is great and it was popular. But what if he starts operating in ways that are unpopular, it’s going to be hard to get rid of him.[/quote]
Bukele has said on the record that he knows that he has imprisoned some innocent people, but that was unfortunate to curb the violence. [/quote]

El Salvador had 114 homicides in 2024 and more than 5,000 in 2016. Of course you’re going to imprison some people who are innocent if you cut the murder rate that severely. Bukele has a 91 percent approval rating because that is a monumental feat.

I wish our leaders had the same laser focus on curbing homicides in our inner cities. So much needless death and suffering and no one cares or is scared to do anything because of the army of lawyers in this country.[/quote]

If you looked into it even a little, you would not wish our leaders would copy Bukele. It is not [i]accidental[/i] that innocent people are imprisoned. The government has arrest quotas. When police are feeling the pressure of a deadline, they arrest the next guy who comes their way. I believe that the government gives itslelf two years to decide whether or not to press charges.

Yes, he has cleaned up El Salvador, but at what cost?! Did he have to use these methods?! The ends do not justify the means, they never have and never will.

Bukele's background is in marketing and advertising. He knows exactly what he is doing. Trump absolutely loves it.

Anyone who admires Bukele is either ignorant (this can either be forgivable or unforgivable--if you are on DCUM it is utterly unforgivable) or un-American.[/quote]

El Salvadorans admire Bukele and want to go back to live there now. He has a 91 percent approval rating and has saved tens of thousands of lives of people who would have been murdered if he came along. You are so typical. You have more sympathy for criminals than their victims and for all the people in that country who lived in fear 24/7. Sick. [/quote]

I have no sympathy for criminals. May they live out their long sentences in jail. I have sympathy for THE INNOCENT.

I believe in the Constitution. Do you???[/quote]
