I fear I'm about to lose my country

Honestly, I’m not convinced that the elements listed in the OP are sustainable. Argentina is alone in the world as having regressed from being a high income country around 1900 to a middle income country after WWII. There aren’t all that many examples around the world that conservatives can point to where an overly generous welfare state substantially repressed economic growth over a long period of time, but Argentina is arguably one of them.

None of that implies that eg Fascism is a good idea. Best wishes to Frodo: Argentina is in a better place than any war zone, but it nonetheless faces some very tough challenges.
