13. That's how it was it Argentina during the (GOP-backed) last dictatorship

People often got their news from neighboring Uruguayan radio - which, though under a dictatorship themselves, it was a little less fascist and, in any case, didn't mind reporting about the insanity in Argentina.

That's how the public first became aware of large numbers of people washing up on the shores of Uruguay. And that most of them were Argentine, and had been visibly tortured.

Like in the U.S. right now, many applauded.... It did not end well for anyone.
