We'll settle on dictatorship cheerleader, then?

Being a dictatorship cheerleader has a different connotation in a country where there actually was a dictatorship, compared to in an established Western democracy, where the idea of a dictatorship is seen as extraordinary and insane.

Brazil was under a dictatorship in living memory. That dictatorship would not have been able to maintain itself if it had been opposed by 99% of the population. Many people supported it and they still deserve a voice now that Brazil is a democracy.

I would also say that in the extremely unlikely but not completely impossible event a dictatorship or quasi-dictatorship ever developed in the Untied States, you can be sure at least half the population, who currently find democracy non-negotiable, would come to at least tacitly support it.

I speak not just of Republicans supporting a "Trump dictatorship" (if you believe one already exists or if a real one were to develop) but also of Democrats supporting a potential deep state coup.

As the deep state doesn't exist, it cannot do a coup.

You sound like one of those people who would be enthusiastically backing a Deep State coup.

New Ibope poll:

Jair Bolsonaro 52%
Fernando Haddad 37%
Blank/null 9%
Don't know 2%

Valid votes:

Bolsonaro 59%
Haddad 41%

Rejection

Haddad 47%
Bolsonaro 35%

What does this mean? Is this the preference of people who refuse to vote when pushed?
