It does people just don't realise the situation Argentina is in.
Milei is the crazy guy you use as a face of unpopular policy. The policy in question is austerity. Taxes burden remains similar(sometimes slightly lowered) but government expenses go down hard. Nobody likes it, but decades of reckless deficit spending leaves no choice.
In Italy, they've had to do it through establishment politician. Result - destruction of their establishment centre-left party. While the right wing government was partially contained by a combination of Tony Blair plant of a prime minister and establishment right wing party in ruling coalition, it's still excessive to let's say eurocrats. Nobody wants a repeat of it anywhere else. The worst part for them is that this coalition got to power on criticising austerity and then forgot to get rid of it(go back to the old spending habits?).
So instead, in Argentina they've put Milei in. He will likewise lose his appeal, but it won't matter. The austerity plan is in, the creditors are appeased, the next government can be composed of the same peronists or socialists who created the debt spiral but they'll magically continue "responsible budgeting" that Milei introduced.
People look at surface level stuff like him being a giga zionist and a massive goofball but they're not noticing the fact that he's a man with a mission to do the dirty job nobody else wants to he associated with. Austerity will not make Argentine rich, it will not make it prosper, it will not make its people live better life, but at the point when Milei got elected it was either that or bankrupcy, which would be even more ruinous.
