I’ve always been suspicious of Bukele — “absolute power corrupts absolutely” and all that — but let’s see this play out. Maybe there’s a good reason for it, and he can’t come out publicly and say it. IMO people tend to *overestimate* the powers that be, underestimate their own power, especially after the last five years.
But I always thought it was naive to trust the self-proclaimed “philosopher king.”
Overestimate in many regards, definitely, but underestimate the lengths they will go to in order to maintain control. They haven't come this far to let it all slip away within a few decades.
The only way out for us is to come together and build the future we want to see. Less reliance on a 'leader' and more focus on a better future without them. We have the momentum and most importantly the truth on our side, as long as we don't give up I can't see how we could possibly lose.
