Yesterday a Brazilian guy who appears to be a Bolsonaro supporter requested my friendship in Facebook. He has a shirt of the Brazilian football team with the number 17 (Ronaldinho endorses that trash, apparently). I would spit that guy in the eye instead. It's crazy.
It seems that Brazilian elite and a good chunk of the middle class are very happy with the fascist. Highway to Hell
I don't know, man, but if you would spit this guy in the eye for his political preferences when he did nothing bad to you, it may be you who behaves like a fascist, not him.
The overblown rhetoric about Bolsonaro's "fascism" (I even saw an article in Foreign Policy comparing him to Goebbels) has only led to a far-left attack on him. In the Netherlands we've seen what happened to Pim Fortuyn. I wonder if this is a deliberate tactic and if the supposedly "respectable" leftists just want Bolsonaro to be "taken out".
Idk how else you'd describe Bolsonaro other than "fascist." He is admittedly a fan of right wing military dictatorship, has praised torture and the death penalty; is deeply sexist; said a female politician wasn't "worthy of rape"; is deeply homophobic.
