El Salvador has 1 in 60 people in jail, up there with the worst of Stalinist Russian.

If the US doesn't have control over who it sends there, the crimes of Trump & his ICE are far worse, far more in violation of the constitution. If this weren't horrific monstrosity to circumvent habeas corpus maybe perhaps this wicked act could scrape through the courts.

Its just so fucked how much misanthropy is running the world. Hating other people is powering the growth of such deeply sick rises to power.

I strongly recommend a tour of the Grievances of the Declaration of Independence. Ironically a document shown to Bukele before his situation down. The things being done are absolutely wild tyrant shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grievances_of_the_United_State...



> El Salvador has 1 in 60 people in jail, up there with the worst of Stalinist Russian.

and the president has a 91 approval rate, consistent with what you'd expect when you go from the murder capital of the world to the safest country in central america


Though, y'know, also consistent with Stalinist Russia.

Generally, those sorts of approval ratings for an executive leader (you do see them sometimes for non-executive heads of state, though in that case they can be seen as less alarming) are a serious red flag; they're generally a dictatorship signal. No-one is _that_ popular.


Just watch any documentary on el salvador. Its has nothing to do with Stalinist russia and you have to WANT to believe it to say such nonsense
