| DarkTemplar said: Brazil's current government has all feature of a neofascist regimen. We just need to read Yale professor Jason Stanley book "How Fascism Works" to understand why. However, personalizing Brazil's problem on its president is huge mistake. The real issue are the ones that elected him: (most of) Brazil's middle class. Brazil's middle classe is were we will find the true fascists that intentionally (and proudly) voted for a regimen that would marginalize, persecute, torture and kill anyone who stands against it. History will be merciless with them, just like it was with ones who supported Hitler or Mussolini in the past. Edit: typos |
It's deeper than that. The reality is, people in Brazil were/are fed up with politicians and the way the country is being managed for a long time now.
Whenever I enter a Uber, or Taxi, and I talked to the driver. 99% of the people I talked to wanted to HANG all the politicans. Literally kill them. I'm not kidding and it's certainly not a joke. Bolsonaro took advantage of this sentiment, and ran an aggressive campaign which became the people's last hope. Many were either clamoring for the return of the dictatorship,or didn't care at all anymore if it came back. This is how he won.
