Pensador, it only means what it means. If I quote someone and say so, doesn't mean I have to agree with or ridicule what they say. Talking about Peronism, why not let the hard-core Peronists say how they see it, nothing more. I can listen to what people have to say, for themselves, without necessarily having to buy it, or disrespecting them just because I happen to disagree with their views. I can respect people without necessarily agreeing with them. I can frankly tell you I disagree with many views of my Campora friends, yet I understand where they come from, as well as the fact they are genuinely concerned, and I respect the way they stand for what they believe in, no matter how much they might be misled by populist propaganda. We are all brainwashed, in one way or another. The stronger your opinion, the less likely you are to be immune to that. I actually do agree with my Campora friends in many things (such as gay rights, ending gender violence etc, etc.), without thinking I must be right, or that Macri must be against it.
What if I tell you I very much respect Cristina Kirchner and Daniel Scioli, while I would still vote for Macri if I had that option? Can you digest that? I actually believe that understanding the "enemy" (=opposition, Campora & Co.) will be crucial in determining whether Macri succeeds in long term or not. If he manages to understand where they come from, he has a future. In my humble opinion, one of the reasons he won was his attitude. Instead of accusing the opponent of chimeras, he chose to answer the fears of his opponents, in a very civilised way (something his rival failed to do). Plus, of course, I reserve my right to be wrong, as it happens sometimes. Will you sleep better now?
