I'm from the Philippines. I voted for our infamous president even if he cuss, says bad things, and even despite/in spite his jokes on rape and tale on women.I sometimes really want to smash his mouth using Thor's hammer. But I still voted. Why? You might say, I'm a Dutertard. A dutertard is someone who voted for President Duterte despite his foul mouth and the lack of embodiment of being a statesman. He's the opposite of everything. But he gets things done. He knows the feeling of the poor people. He genuinely cares. I never seen a government official who gives who much passion to the poorest of poor in our country.
We are always highlighted on his war on drugs. Sure, many have died and maybe many are victims of extra judicial killings BUT it was in his administration that we find out how bad and and how big of an epidemic drugs is in our country. I wonder if he did not win last election, how deeper can it go?
Sometimes what the international media sees are just the surface of what he's doing. I'm living in my country. I experience how my country is being raped by drug lords. Sometimes you just got to choose which one is the lesser evil. Sorry if my opinion differs than yours.
