I know nothing about Brazilian politics and am defending no one, but I find it curious that Bolsonaro is being classified as a right wing extremist when he basically won in a landslide. This isn’t a case of an extreme right wing party winning slightly more votes than any other party and then forming an alliance with more moderate parties to form a government. By definition, “extremist” means you have a minority position. This guy cleaned everyone else’s clock. Regardless of what his politics are, he’s not an extremist in Brazil if he won in a landslide. Perhaps he’s an extremist relative to the far left wing in his own country and in the US media, but it sounds like whatever he is, for better or worse, he’s a mainstream Brazilian.

I’m sorry Bruno, best wishes to you, it’s another sad day for freedom.
I can understand how you feel, I’m as concerned as Farfa with the situation in Italy and looking around the world (Brazil, US, Hungary, Austria to name a few) I could only agree with Jowles, this world is fucked.

Bruno, you have my best wishes. And possibly some company in a few years, looking at Salvini’s rise in Italy 🙁

@31

That’s the “main” narrative for people voting for him, yeah, and it’s been a long time since I supported the workers party… but I can’t understand why the hatred for PT can really outweigh everything else so much.

Liberalism and conservative morals have been intertwined in Brasil for a long time, which is a weird pair that’s very peculiar to Latin American countries I would say, where the USA made pacts with the local elites in place (mostly farmers) to install authoritarian regimes that also forced liberal reforms.

Thanks for the support everyone, I really appreciate it. I’ll stay safe and see how and where can I do my thing and it will be fine, I guess.

In Cleveland, apparently Altman and Gilbert wanted more time for the young guys playing and Lue was playing Smith and Korver more than they liked.

I know a few Brazilians. They all voted for Bolsonaro. And some of them are liberals. I don’t fully understand it, but I guess the stench of the Workers Party corruption was just so overwhelming that they felt like anything else was better. Let’s hope Bolsonaro doesn’t make everyone long for the days when their leaders merely stole from the people.
