Nobody is going to care about this because it has nothing to do with US politics, but this is a dream I had some time ago after writing something about Argentina (btw I've never stepped a foot in that country and would've been about -10 years old at the time this takes place).
It was the early 90s (no idea which year, but the day was August 20ish) and President Carlos Menem promised to bring some left-wing leader back home from exile, which was followed by a military coup that installed Raúl Alfonsín as president. It's not actually that strange because it's basically a replay of something that really happened, just with different characters, except that I was watching the whole thing from the toilet. Before leaving, I found out that there was only one roll of toilet paper left and imagined Raúl's distinctly evil face, thinking "we'll have to spare this, he won't give us any". I then went to a petrol station with my dad, and I remember being in a hurry because the new government was going to declare martial law any minute. I was genuinely sad about the whole thing and I ended up at home, in the bathtub, trying not to cry over the coup and the fact that school holidays are almost over.
