Coming on stage to a roaring crowd, Bukele, who recently won re-election in El Salvador with a whopping 84 percent of the vote, took immediate aim at “globalism,” remarking that in El Salvador “it’s already dead.”
Bukele, who was first elected in 2019 and has become famous for bringing crime rates to record lows in his once gang-ridden country, warned Americans that much like what happened in El Salvador in the 1960s and 1970s, “dark forces” are “taking over your country.”
He said that the reason El Salvador ended up becoming the “murder capital of the world” was that the people were not equipped to understand just how radically their society was changing because it happened over a period of decades, one increment at a time.
Bukele likened this to boiling a frog, saying that if you keep turning up the heat and slowly boil the frog, it won’t realize what is happening until it is too late. The Latin American president urged Americans not to despair, however, as “you can still jump before the water boils.”
Briefly explaining the situation in El Salvador in the last few decades, which saw murder rates skyrocket and a 12-year-long communist-inspired civil war break out, Bukele explained that he can “clearly see the signs of a declining” when he looks at America because his own country “hit rock bottom decades ago.”
Bukele explained that even after the civil war, gang culture became a rampant “disease that had begun with mild symptoms, got worse and worse, and became a cancer that seemed incurable.”
Bukele pointed to major Democratic-run cities like Baltimore where similar events are taking place and “crime and drugs have become the daily norm.” He also mentioned the fentanyl epidemic and asked the crowd if 10 years ago they could have predicted how destructive that drug would become in American society.
The president explained that when it came to fixing the problem in his homeland, the “bare minimum” he had to achieve was ridding his nation of the title “murder capital of the world.”
