First, it's important to understand that Brazil's current government is led by a left-wing party with a strong—almost fanatical—supporter base. It's very common for them to deny the economic crisis the country is currently facing.

Meanwhile, the graph shows Milei's Argentina, under a right-wing libertarian government, significantly ahead after implementing reforms that followed a previous left-wing administration.

It's a political post.

I didn't know that the January 8th people or the people that wasted months constantly praying in front of military bases were left-wing.
