First of all, I wanted to make something clear: I'm not saying Brazil is under a fascist dictatorship right now. All I'm saying is the country is getting closer to one every day. The government has a radical right-wing, ultranationalist agenda, and everyday it tries to suppress the opposition a bit more. Just in the last week, Bolsonaro threatened to imprison a journalist because he disagreed with him, fired lead members of two institutions who gave him information that, although true, he didn't like, and lied about the military dictatorship - trying to blame the left - twice.

If something looks like a lion, moves like a lion and roars like a lion, you don't have to wait for it to attack you to call it a lion. Because then it's too late.

"everyday it tries to suppress the opposition a bit more. "

with speech? I asked in my previous comment for actions or policies, do you have any to post?

Words have power. Bolsonaro has been doing that for a long time. He says somethings, waits for the reaction, sees that his supporters keep supporting him, then does it. And when he does it, you can't be surprised because he warned you.

Threatening to imprison a journalist who hasn't commited a crime is a threat to democracy itself. When you're president, you can't just go around saying you'll put everyone who disagrees with you in jail (or kill everyone who disagrees with you, like in this video where he says he'll shoot every supporter of the opposite party).

If something looks like a lion, moves like a lion and roars like a lion, you don't have to wait for it to attack you to call it a lion. Because then it's too late.

as did obama when he was president, do you think this indicated america was becoming a fascist regime?

Do you have an actual credible source for this? I will not discuss over a text from a blatantly right-wing conservative biased site.

i'd need to see more context on these

Then read the OP. I wrote all of those down in part 4.
