LMAO. Believe me, we would be very happy but whoever believes that nonsense is an idiot. Venezuela has been left for dead and has no recovery. We will be an annoying Somalia-like failed state to our neighbors but nothing more.
Australia is the next one.
There's a lot of fascist movement, Steve Bannon doing interview and organizing tour...
it's better to stay alert on that.
The great blind spot of representative democracy is it has no protections against itself.
If enough voters are convinced to vote for people that want to dismantle democratic systems, what does anyone do to stop it? Threaten said people with being voted out? I think the problem with that is obvious...

Oh god, that is going to be a horrific with all of those Venezuelan refugees fleeing south across the Brazilian border
This ain't Turkey. The army probably wants him to do a fascist coup.
It's going to be so much more than a threat once the climate starts to really change. Less food, longer droughts, etc. Look how easy these fascist scumbags fool people already. It won't be hard for them to get the power once millions of migrants come knocking. Europe will definitely become all out fascist and not allow anyone in. We are so fucked.
He has the (almost) total support of the army, which makes the idea of a fascist coup especially scary.
He was openly crowing about how great a coup and dictatorship would be. thatsafascist.gif
At some point that becomes a distinction without a difference.
I didn't watch it. But it looked like his first speech as elected President had in it… a prayer.
A goddamn prayer.
Welcome to Gilead.

Welcome to Gilead.
The usual corruption. Now with extra incarceration and murder.
Trump is probably pissed that there is no direct road from Brazil to Mexico, otherwise he'd have another caravan to fear monger about.
The incarceration happened BECAUSE of corruption (i.e. the person who was incarcerated was a corrupt).
No political figure was murdered.
Trump is far-right. Bolsonaro is fascist and has expressed his disdain for democracy many times.

I think most Americans here aren't aware that Brazil was a military dictatorship little more than 30 years ago and those roots directly lead into the current situation.
Lmao. The Liberal Party are going to get absolutely rolled in the next election.
Well, I did my part... even though the opposition was from the same shitty party that ruled Brazil for 16 years, I voted for them because I consider corruption an evil that smaller than what I'm assuming that will happen with Bolso in power, even though I'm hoping that it's just words from a crazy man...
It's so much more than that. Back in 2013, some humoristic journalists interviewed him to show how incompetent our parliamentary politicians were. They wanted to show how big a jome Jair Bolsonaro was. Then came the memes, and little by little he got big enough to be regarded as a legend by younger "white" men. His popularity never stopped rising, and both traditional and social media turned him into this larger-than-life figure, some sort of unwaveringly honest man against the sea of corruption that Brazilian politics were, even though he had been a politician for over 24 years and had never done anything worth noticing during all that time. Traditional politicians and parties lost all credibility they had with constant attacks by the media. His supporters started a huge wave of misinformation that smeared his adversaries' images and promptly defused any controversy surrounding him.
What happened today is the result of a coup that's been going on for five years. An endless stream of manipulation, fake news, political persecution and social hysteria.
Oh please, tell us how you really feel....
He is a fascist scum.
People, I just want to say I love everyone from this community. I'm sad, exhausted but most of all dissappointed. I just hope that we and our loved ones stay safe. As someone that recently came out as a non-binary person to my family and saw resistence from some of them but also love I just hope we can find above all safety and happiness. I'm sorry for the rambling, just wanted to get some things out of my chest.
That's misleading. It was as legit as a brazilian election can be (incredibly corrupt and full of lies).
Didn't the recent Haitian refugees came all the way from Brazil to Tijuana/SoCal?
*hugs* almost half of the country voted against him, we're not alone.
Love to you and everyone here as well.
If things don't swing back soon, we're absolutely heading to a major global catastrophe. You always read about these giant conflicts and they feel so far away, but humanity has been making the same mistakes since they came on the scene and we'll probably never change until the bitter end.
