Dictator Bukele Killed Democracy

Description: Hello Dictator Bukele you fascist piece of fuckin shit!
I have been closely (understatement) monitoring El Salvador's 2024 constitutional change allowing unlimited presidential re-election, combined with Nayib Bukele's prior consolidation of power because it creates a framework meeting the academic definition of competitive authoritarianism through his “Constitutional Subversion” which is just a Legal Facade!

1. 2021 Legislative Purge
- Bukele's party (Nuevas Ideas) won a supermajority in Feb 2021 elections after illegally deploying soldiers to pressure the legislature in Feb 2020.
- Immediately purged all Supreme Court justices and Attorney General.

2. Puppet Court Ruling (Sept 2021)
- Newly installed Supreme Court justices (ass kissers loyal to Bukele) issued an opinion that:
▪️ Reinterpreted Article 152 of the Constitution (explicitly banning consecutive re-election)
▪️ Claimed presidents could run indefinitely if their "human right" to seek office wasn't restricted.
- Precedent destroyed: Contradicted 2014 ruling barring re-election under same constitutional text.

3. 2024 Re-election
- Bukele ran and "won" (with state resources) despite constitutional prohibition still technically existing.
- Legal fiction: The regime treats the 2021 court opinion as binding, though constitutional amendments require 2/3 legislative approval in consecutive terms (never obtained — duh). Fuckin dictator!

II. Institutional Dismantling (Pre-Term Limit Removal)
| Institution | Neutralization Method | Effect |
|------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|-------|
| Legislature. | Supermajority controls all bills; opposition MP’s harassed/jailed | Rubber-stamp body |
| Judiciary | Purged judges; new "ethics" court disbars critics | Weaponized for prosecutions |
| Electoral Tribunal | Commissioners replaced by allies | Certifies fraudulent elections |
| Military/Police | Loyalists promoted; given expanded powers | Personal security force |
| Media | Chilling laws (e.g., "Fake News" fines); state advertising withdrawn | 90% self-censorship |

III. Unlimited Terms as Dictatorship Catalyst
1. Zero Accountability Mechanism — NONE
- No future electoral threat → No incentive to moderate policies or respect rights.
- Example: State of Exception (suspending due process since 2022) becomes permanent.

2. Patronage Pyramid
- 50,000+ patronage jobs created for party loyalists.
- Unlimited terms = Lifetime control over state resources to reward loyalty.

3. Fear of Post-Power Retribution
- Bukele's gang crackdowns involved mass human rights violations.
- Incentive: He ACTUALLY must stay in power to avoid prosecution when immunity ends.

4. Dynastic Entrenchment Analysis of Mine
- Family members appointed to key posts (e.g., brother Karim Bukele as Presidential Secretary).
- Opens path for family succession if term limits aren't the only barrier.

IV. Dictatorial Toolkit Enabled
- Repression Legitimization: 76,000+ arbitrary arrests under "gang crackdown" (Human Rights Watch)
- Information Control: Official propaganda spends $100M/year; critics jailed under "terrorism" laws.
- International Shield: Diplomatic attacks on critics (e.g., revoked Spanish judge's visa); uses U.S. anti-gang support as legitimacy.

V. Why This Meets Dictatorship Criteria in My Opinion?
| Authoritarian Indicator | Bukele's Implementation |
|------------------------------|------------------------------|
| Fake Pluralism | Opposition parties exist but can't win (election agency controlled) |
| Permanent Rule | No legal path to remove him; elections become coronations |
| State = Party | Government funds/agencies used for party campaigning |
| Coercive Monopoly | Military parades; police wear "NI" (Nuevas Ideas) insignia |

My South American Historical Parallels?
- Daniel Ortega (Nicaragua): Court-packing → term limits removed → lifetime dictatorship.
- Hugo Chávez (Venezuela): Constitutional rewrite → indefinite re-election → state collapse.

So in my opinion unlimited terms didn't create Bukele's authoritarianism—it actually institutionalized it by removing the last constitutional check the people had (peaceful alternation of power), El Salvador transitions from flawed democracy to what I would classify as “electoralist autocracy” where elections completely mask one-man rule. The mechanism is classic: weaken institutions first, then change rules to stay forever like Communist fucker Putin and now perhaps Trump’s turn to pull this stunt on his American people?
