@wdlindsy this cynicism is part of how Milei won in Argentina. People did not believe Milei will do what he says, yet the peronist ran essentially "vote peronist no matter who, no matter what we continue to do to you." People balanced cynical lack of belief about the devil they were supposed to fear against the terrible experiences with the devil they already experience daily, and that is why Milei got a landslide. Telling people they have no other choice is not a formula for success.
