You're lying, I haven't posted any "left wing propaganda", and you haven't even tried to counter my arguments that Jair Bolsonaro will turn Brazil into a police state and will sell Brazil to the elite (like the privatisation in the 1990s we saw under the guiding light of the Bill Clinton that you despise so much).
You have shown that you support any corrupt politician that Steve Bannon is pushing into the spotlight...
Bolsonaro’s eulogies to the military dictatorship and its torturers tell us a bit more. Brazil’s
“day that lasted 21 years” did not go far enough, in his mind: The dictatorship “should have killed 30,000 more,” he
said in 1999, while serving his third term as a congressman. Within the military establishment, Bolsonaro represents an extremist tendency; former military-dictator Ernesto Geisel
labeled him “completely beyond the pale” and a "military evil."
There were over
60,000 murders in Brazil last year. Police contribute to the bloodshed,
killing thousands each year. Bolsonaro promised the special forces, whose emblem and
cri de guerreis a skull, that their people would be included
in the government, possibly suggesting a ministerial position for a special forces commander.
Bolsonaro’s running mate, retired general Hamilton Mourão, suggests a Bolsonaro government would seek to
redraft the 1988 Constitution, this time without any popular, representative input and stack the Supreme Court
with additional justices. Attempts to strangle the constitution, such as these, put us in mind of other “managed democracies,” such as Vladimir Putin’s Russia or Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Turkey. “Constitutional dictatorship” is another term that could describe a post-Bolsonaro Brazil.
The upper-middle classes and the elite have long been animated by a barely coded class hatred that is fixated on the Workers Party (PT). This so-called
“Antipetismo” fueled the move to impeach then-President Dilma Rousseff (a member of the Workers Party)
on scant legal grounds. The
parliamentary coup and break with democratic norms further delegitimized an already scandal-ridden political system.
Big business has flocked to the former army captain. Bolsonaro’s chief economic advisor, University of Chicago-educated Paulo Guedes, promises to
privatize aggressively; the
financial markets endorse this vision, as do many of its
media representatives. Indeed,
revelations in Brazil’s largest newspaper allege that many leading businesspeople illegally paid up to $3.2 million dollars each to spread fake news via WhatsApp, slandering Bolsonaro’s opponent. Though an investigation has been launched, the top electoral court failed to act. Instead, it
banned a Workers Party campaign adshowing Bolsonaro’s support for torture and dictatorship. The campaign “can create, in public opinion, passionate states with the potential to incite violent behaviors,”
the court ruled.
