El año del delirio
Por David E. Santos Gómez - [email protected]
TL;DR
- 2025 was characterized by political delirium, marked by abuse, fear, and disregard for the weak and different.
- The crisis of liberal democracy has consolidated, with this style of politics spreading globally from Russia to the United States, and Germany to Argentina.
- Radicalism has overtaken discourse, with insults and unacceptable language becoming normalized, even expected.
- Examples include Donald Trump's insults, Gustavo Petro's incoherent tweets, Javier Milei's aggressive rhetoric, Nicolás Maduro's erratic speeches, and Nayib Bukele's self-declaration as a 'cool dictator'.
- The standardization of rudeness as political language is a new phenomenon, making decent governance seem impossible.
- This trend is expected to continue, especially in the upcoming 2026 elections in Colombia, which are predicted to be a 'pigsty'.
