who, along with his father before him, supports the goals and history of the fascist military Dirty War dictatorship. They knew what they were doing, and it would place the following progressive administration in an unbelievable hole at the beginning, which it would be fighting to overcome every single day, leaving the country desperate for change. They trusted the public to be so desperate for change they would accept another fascist again. They relied upon short memories, and ignorance within the public.
It has become a pattern, obviously. So damned sad.
