José Antonio Kast has been elected as the new President of Chile.
On Sunday, PJ Media reported:
You can tell what type of leader he’ll be based on the MSM headlines. I just did a quick Google search to see what people were saying, and all the usual suspects are calling him “far-right” and “ultra-conservative.” Let me interpret that for you.
Kast campaigned on being tough on crime and restoring law and order to the South American nation. That includes deploying the military to cities with high crimes, strengthening the country’s borders, mass deportations of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, putting the interests of native Chileans first, and getting tough with cartels and terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua.
Gee, where have I heard this before? Many people have called him Chile’s Donald Trump. He and his supporters have even used the phrase “Make Chile Great Again” during his campaign.
That’s why the MSM is already labeling him with these little dog whistle phrases they use. In certain media circles, saying “far-right” and “ultra-conservative” essentially means “this guy is Hitler.”
The 59-year-old Kast is Catholic and also pro-family — he and his wife have nine children. He’s also a strong abortion opponent. Economically, he’s in favor of cutting billions in government spending and embraces marked-oriented reform.
President Trump has not yet been successful in implementing all of his policies. However, he has made moves in the direction of cutting spending and increasing revenue. He has enforced the immigration laws already on the books and is continuing to do so. Inflation is under control, and gradually, some of our major cities are becoming safer.
The article concludes:
Kast also supports Trump’s anti-drug trafficking activity in the Caribbean and does not consider Nicolás Maduro the legitimate leader of Venezuela. He even supports any U.S. action to get rid of Maduro.
I feel like I say this at least once a week, but it’s a sign of the times. Many Latin American and Caribbean countries are swinging to the right.
…Colombia and Brazil both go to the polls next year, and while the right remains fragmented in both countries, there’s always the potential for a change. Brazil is more of an uphill battle, as Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva plans to run for another term, but after four years of an unpopular Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s first leftist president in its history, I could see many voters in that country suffering from socialism and/or lunatic fatigue and voting for a right-winger if they have a good candidate.
People want good leadership.
