It also doesn't help that the response has been to either torch those with whom they claim they want to make a deal... or blame Piñera for the whole thing (?) As if he of all people had the power to give marching orders to Congressmen

Oh, so you guys have your own version of the "Ah, pero Macri..." argument so popular with kirchnerists over here?

Oh yeah. Mind you, Piñera does have it coming from time to time, it's just that in this case it's absolutely bonkers.

From what I see in Argentina, the "pero Macri..." seems to be always insane.

Piñera started it on its first period and every successive government has followed the tradition. The most absurd case, however, belongs to Piñera 2 when he blamed Boric, before even the first round, for the immigration problems.

Oh yeah guys, don't get me wrong, every government that we had in the past...century or so lol...has been blaming the last governement of the terrible inheritance. Fernandez blames Macri, Macri blamed Cristina, the kircherists blamed Duhalde, Duhalde blamed de la Rua, de la Rua blamed Menem, Menem blamed Alfonsin and so on and so forth. Some of them have a more credible excuse than others.

The thing is that the Macri thing has gone completely insane. I'm pretty sure some people think that Covid, the energy crisis, the Ukraine war, Messi not going to see the president, etc, etc, etc were all his fault. They are deranged, it would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

Don't know what will happen in 2023, but don't be surprised if either the kircherists or the far right get elected in 2027. this country sucks, let's get back to talking about Chile.
