 [American Thinker] After sledgehammering crime in his country, President Nayib Bukele won his re-election as president of El Salvador in Sunday's election by a large margin.
According to the BBC:
President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, credited with driving down gang violence in the Central American nation, has been re-elected.
Preliminary results released after 70% of votes had been counted showed him securing a second term by winning 83% of the votes.
He had already claimed victory before the results were announced.
This is putting it delicately. The man won a nuclear 83% of the popular vote in what must be the loudest public consensus ever seen in a true democratic republic. He stomped out crime, made his country a nice place to live, ended migration as a byproduct and now has a s that people are trying to move to.
The people have spoken over in El Salvador.
And it's not surprising, really. Create rule of law and order in your country after a long slide of lawlessness and don't be surprised if you find yourself very, very, popular. We saw that in Colombia with the election of Alvaro Uribe, who turned his country from a Marxist narcoterrorist guerrlla hellhole to a garden spot, and we saw this in Ecuador and Argentina, where promises to restore law and order over impunity for criminals led to similar election results.
The Bidenites over in the White House can only look with envy, having no interest in cleaning up runaway crime in the U.S.
So not surprisingly, their response had some curdled milk in it.
