....all with broad public support!

"The President's popularity has come in spite—or perhaps because—of his defiance of constitutional, political, and legal constraints. Since 2022, he has ruled under emergency powers that suspend key civil liberties, including due process. His security regime can make arrests without warrants, including of minors as young as 12, and hauls hundreds of suspects into mass trials. One in every 57 Salvadorans is now incarcerated—triple the rate of the U.S. and the highest in the world. Bukele’s allies have fired top judges and packed the courts with loyalists, allowing him to dodge a constitutional prohibition to run successfully for a second term—all with broad public support."
President Nayib Bukele’, that is; El Salvador's way cool leader, code named "mano dura", aka "iron Fist". Seemingly for 6.6 million "normies" living in El Salvador it has been a salvation experience. For the 200,000 "non-normies" reading about the "land of surf, volcanoes, and coffee" from their jail cells, well, not so much.
Hey world, step right up and take your chance. A .0125% risk seems like a "no-brainer".
