If the past couple years hace shown us something it's that the Latin American right should never, ever be trusted with power again.
Sebastian Piņera was supposed to be the Nice, Moderate 
right-winger and he still ended up sending the army to quash democratic protests (he's been forced to back down, thankfully, but his actions still stand). Michel Temer was just Some Guy from a non-ideological catch-all party and he still participated in overthrowing Dilma, enacting vicious austerity measures, and putting Lula in jail to make sure he couldn't run. Mesa was supposed to be the nice, non-racist face of the Bolivian right and he still participated in the coup that overthrew Morales. PPK was supposed to be the sane center-right alternative to the Fujimoristas and he still ended up doing their bidding in a failed attempt to save his own corrupt ass. I guess Macri was the least bad of the bunch, but his refusing to let Morales use Argentine airspace is still proof that he doesn't care about democracy abroad even if he respects it in his own country.
I used to think that Piņera was too incompetent to do any harm. Then I saw military helicopters with rifles at their doors flying over my roof and found about the nasty side effects of tear gas mixed with pepper spray.
