Argentina has a population pyramid that actually looks like a pyramid hence why they could elect such a radical change of route. In this decade europe , east asia and even the US might be confronted with the issue of sustaining societies without a lot of capital or investment or workers. I wonder if they will take a page from Argentina (the US already did)

countries are not taking a page from Argentina. countries are taking a page from the United States electing someone like Donald Trump.

Trump's priority in 2016 was not deregulation, in 2024 it is. Hmm.

This feels like an oversimplification of their priorities. Many right wing politicians are pro-deregulation. Trump also ran /did act on deregulation (or weakening) of certain agencies in his first term as well.
I think it’s moreso during hard economic times. Telling constituents youre going to “axe wasteful government spending” is a very viable strategy for winning elections.
