I don't speak Spanish and I wouldn't really like to delve into a rabbithole of translating every comment in that thread now, and I also have 0 idea of what things are like in El Salvador, so could someone enlighten me on the matter? Who is this guy and is he liked? From what I could see on first glance people seem to be supportive of him, he has a thing for military and order which is refreshing, but then I see a lot of bitcoin bullshit so I'm confused.
I'm hardly the one to answer, but he seems to be a populist type of candidate, a Duterte type, who doesn't let the scruples get in the way of restoring law and order. He's been rounding up MS-13 and campaigning on it, reducing the murder rate greatly (though some suggest that he cut a deal with them).

He's got a +86% approval rating. For comparison, Biden's approval rating is -7.5%.

Supporting Bitcoin fits in that populist thing.
