      I mean at least Jair Bolsonaro was arrested, tried and found guilty after staging an insurrection as opposed to the banana republic up north.

        His son won the first round of elections. So fuck all has changed. This is like replacing Donald with Eric.

        It was nice to pretend we are a serious democracy for a while but his party has elected so many people yesterday that I can guarantee you he will be released next year.

          We have a serious democracy. The problem is even worse. Our people have choosen his party. They want the far right agenda.

          The us interference might have helped, but most people would do the same without it. We can’t blame others for this. It’s the most depressing thing ever

            Most people don’t truly want the far right agenda. However, the right controls almost all of the media. The biggest master play of the right was realizing early that shit like Facebook had a lot of potential for propaganda. While the biggest fuck up of the left all over the world was not banning foreign-owned and controlled social media before it became too big to just block it. China did the obvious correct thing: don’t allow foreign powers to control the media in your country. Since then, we have been fighting a losing war.
