      I lived there (south america) and people are dumb enough to elect corrupt politicians like there's no tomorrow. The religious nature of the culture is reflected in their politics and large parts of the population coallece behind some corrupt dude that knows what to say like he's some kind of messiah.

      heh. good thing you inserted "south america" in brackets there. had to check back to make sure you weren't talking about the united states...

      and before anyone says this is just like Trump, remember he just stepped down UNLIKE Chavez

      lol so you noticed.

      ok, so you're saying trump FAILED his people, unlike chavez?

      so if venezuela fucked themselves, the united states did doubly so... right? and it's the us in both cases that provided the fallout.

      Yeah the US is definitely fucking itself right now. The main difference in latin america is the law is not fair or effective at all. US system is more robust but seems to be reaching its limit maybe.
