Such an amendment would be quickly struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional.

Isn't a constitutional amendment by definition violate the current constitution? I would be pretty horrified by a Supreme Court that strikes down a constitutional amendment as unconstitutional.

Is there any chance the wonderful Jair Bolsonaro makes it a second round?

I'm not actually sure that's even a desirable outcome (since I'd rather the top two contenders compete for his support).

You're supportive of a literal apologist for tyrants and torturers? The guy who dedicated his impeachment vote to the guy who was in charge of torturing the current president?

He seems bizarrely clean for a Brazilian politician and he stands up against both criminals and other PC stufff. I don't really care that much about his views on history; I've personally heard a lot of mixed stuff about the military period.

Elected officials have too much civility anyways.

This week, the Legislative Assembly of the state of Alagoas approved an act which can punish teachers who support their political views in the classroom. Assemblies in other states are discussing this kind of act too. There is a proposal in the federal Chamber of Deputies too. They are influenced by far right lobbies which say that there is "marxist indoctrination" at schools. Religious fundamentalists support this kind of law. They want to ban pro-LGBT education. They say that "gender ideology" is evil.

Excellent. I went to a school that prioritized teaching LGBT-politics over basic skill sets and for a district of its socioeconomic status, it really did churn out way too many totally unprepared students.
