"His descriptor for Colombia’s leftist president, Gustavo Petro, whom he called a 'terrorist murderer.'"

Mr. Petro was a member of M-19, which was a terrorist organization at the time of his membership:

Another attack on Milei based on the false idea that he doesn't want to negotiate. It has been just 3 months and given how Milei entered into the ring one should have expected him to spend some months trying to distinguish between opponents willing to negotiate and opponents ready to remove him by any means. Given the many pro-K-factions and anti-K-factions represented in Congress and the provincial governments (where K means Cristina Kirchner) and their inside fightings, it has been a very difficult task. On March 1, Milei said clearly he expected to end negotiations with those willing to negotiate by May 25. At this very moment, it's still difficult to say whether Milei will be able to negotiate reforms with Congress and provincial governments' approval by May 25, but its probability still is at least 50%. If he fails to negotiate the reforms, then he will rely entirely on whatever powers the Constitution and Congress have already granted to the President. Though these powers may not be enough to change radically my home country's economy, the new economy may turn out to be much better than the K-economy of 2003-23 (it was a good one when agricultural prices were quite high in 2003-2012 thanks to China, but they will never be that high again). If he fails to negotiate, however, pro-K-opponents will attempt to remove him asap (yes, something they know how to do it and they know that fake liberals everywhere will celebrate it).

he is after power - like all of them.

A libertarian wouldn’t ban gender inclusive language in official documents. Libertarians should be more inclusive on gender than the average liberal. Otherwise, you’re simply a fascist cosplaying as a lover of freedom.

Why were so many self-proclaimed libertarians so anxious to embrace him?
