An Argentinian called into Sam Seder's show and he talked about how dire the situation was, how incredibly unstable the economy has been and how supermarket employees had to change price tags on groceries sometimes multiple times in a single day. The caller said that the people want nothing more than stability and the choice was between the centrist guys who had been in power for 16 years or this complete lunatic, so (from my understanding) his election is basically a hailmary by the Argentinians who want anything but the current status quo.
