The people most qualified to judge Bukele aren't his cheerleaders nor his critics from abroad. At the end of the day it all comes to Salvadoreans. At this stage, most of them seem to be happy with his policies and his crackdown on gangs is more popular than adoption of Bitcoin. Not unsurprisingly, because unlike Bitcoinisation that would take years to bear fruit and is often beset by price volatility, taking out gangs have bore immediate and more palpable results in terms of public safety.

Most Salvadoreans are more than willing to sacrifice freedoms - something that is quite abstract and seems unattainable to ordinary people - for something concrete like not having to worry about being randomly killed, raped or robbed. In that regard, they aren't so different from citizens in many seemingly enlightened, prosperous and progressive countries that took the exactly the same calculation during certain pandemic.
