    You seem to underestimate the gang problem. I was in Ilobasco a few years ago and my family that lives there urged me not to go outside past 7pm because I can be a target or even kidnapped. Like wtf why do the gangs get to dictate curfew in 2017? Past nightfall you have to turn the lights off so people in the streets can’t peek into your house through the metal guard rails on all the windows. It was eye opening to say the least. Since Nuevas Ideas I have only heard good things and good changes to the area from my family. There were so many people associated to the gangs that I have little sympathy for those ‘innocently accused’. I would rather a few loosely incorporated get caught than let the gangs do what they want freely.

      Until it’s you who get wrongfully put in jail, but I get the point. I think everyone agree it’s better now and also they should do everything they can to speed up the release of innocent people.

              You must be part of the 1% of trucheros that are against his policies. You guys are so incredibly vocal it’s disgusting. There’s a reason why Bukele won by a landslide

                  I see you must have not gone far into my post history then. I am unliked by the left community but I admit my mouth waters at that thought.

                  Regardless, your argument is actually cringe and I implore that you learn about topics you don’t know about before stepping into conversations. My family escaped the civil war in El Salvador. I had family killed by guerrilla mercenaries in the 80s. Most older people who still live there still have that trauma. They just don’t want to be involved in this new gang wave that took over. But yeah what was the first thing Nuevas Ideas did with that Bitcoin money again? He built a massive library? He rebuilt the roads and businesses in San Salvador? Yeah that must be far right. I bet you downloaded Chivo just to get the $30 and still talked shit about it.

            Bro you wanna talk lingophile imperialism while speaking the language of men who have been trying to conquer my people’s home for literal thousands of years, it’s the puppets that your people put in charge who were so terrible to my kin that they began to chant Badna N3aesh.

            Iran literally made Arab Spring dub “I can’t breathe” happen, then you come in here like hot shit talkin’ about how English speaking Americans are all imperialists while touting the language of the longest still running imperial project in human history.
