“Flatly untrue”
(proceed to not debunk anything I said)
So he wasn’t a dictator? He was a democratically elected president that ran every few years and won against an opposition candidate?
So what was the point of the Chilean national plebiscite of 1988? The one that he resoundingly lost that would have kept him in power?
I dont give a damn if they had a roaring economy. So what if you live in a despotism?
” and then VOLUNTARILY stepped down and reinstated free elections”
You just fricking said that “He was a dictator” was NOT TRUE!
He “stepped down” because his grip on power was collapsing in the wake of the thawing of the Cold War. Not having the potential of a Soviet-backed “invasion” to play off of, he got out of Dodge while the getting was good. He had to be prodded into having the referendum. He didn’t just do it out of the goodness of his heart.
” just regurgitating the leftist narrative”

“Jesus Christ.”
No, he’s right. It seems that you bought everything fake news put out about Pinochet.
It behooves those of us who pursue conservatism to take another look at the fake news narrative on...well, on everything.
Blaspheming won’t win you points here, either.
