Bolsonaro Wins Brazil Presidential Election

Have you done enough research yet to provide an opinion on the newly elected president or not?

Of Brazil? I don’t intend to. I see no reason to evaluate every leader of Latin America. He was democratically elected. If he turns out to be a dictator or a reform President that will reflect the will of the people and improve their condition, I am willing to wait and see.
I don’t need to judge them…not until he does things like confiscate property and suppress opposition, like Venezuela, if he does.

You Brazil is ■■■■■■ when this clown endorses their new president.

You’re kidding, right? Of course he has to defend. And he will do so! And and and and there’s nothing–and I repeating nothing!–that you can you about it!

Way to go Brazilians!

Throw off the chains of Socialists, Globalists, and Corruption.

End the insanity of “State run Corporations”!

Arm each man that he may be free on earth.
Spread the Gospel to all and they may yet be truly free.

Sorry Globalists, the roof is on fire. We don’t need no water…

I followed this election a bit, and it’s the youth who propelled Bolsonaro into office. Soaring crime rate, corrupt politicians, and a deep recession allowed Bolsonaro to win. He could have said even crazier things and still won, a lot of people there are terrified of the soaring crime and thought the current politicians were not listening to their pleas to do more on crime.

“…a lot of people there are terrified of the soaring crime and thought the current politicians were not listening…”

That sounds familiar somehow :thinking:

MBFA :brazil:

Corruption will be cleaned up by getting rid of anyone reporting government corruption. Country will be unified by eliminating the opposition.

This view makes Jair Bolsonaro indisputably despicable.

Bolsonaro is disgusting. He openly praises murder and oppression, but apparently state-owned enterprises are the real tyranny. Pffft!

I don’t think it is accurate to call Bolsonaro a fascist.

What’s wrong with that?

Um, you act like Republicans didn’t enthusiastically embrace Pinochet and showed off the “Chile Experiment” as an example of how their economics worked.

The Free Market, brought to you by The Violence of the State.

I highly doubt the people of used John Oliver as a news source. Probably none of them know who he is.

Me neither.

If a majority of the Brazilian electorate picked him, who am I to complain?

Maybe a majority of Brazilians isn’t really as concerned about what comes out of his mouth about women & gays, but about what he can do for the economy. Maybe they also want to be able to legally purchase a firearm.

IMO It’s their decision & he should be given a chance to prove himself. How well have his predecessors worked out?

I didn’t follow this election at all but it’s no secret that Brazil, like many of these Latin American countries, has plenty of problems. Ironically Brazil was being touted by the investment community as an emerging market some time back but that didn’t turn out well at all. Apparently Brazil is also considered another failed socialist state?

If you’re insinuating it sounds like Trump in America, I’d LOVE to know what, exactly, he’s doing about crime in America.

other than in our inner cities I think it is safe to say that we don’t have no where near the crime problem they do.
