This seems to be so ineffectual as a murder attempt I'd suspect a set-up, if I didn't know there are tons of unstable loons out there emboldened by the current crisis and the breakdown of institution to make it likely we'll see more crazyness soon.

It seems to have been very superficial. I don't think it changes much, if it was politically-motivated that poo poo was dumb as gently caress but it's just another soundbite for the rear end in a top hat.

Dude is definitely mentally ill, he claims the freemasons are responsible for at least half the murders in Brazil. You don't see those types of dudes embracing Communism very often. Oh, recent info says the stabbing was actually severe enough to require surgery and be life-threatening - nothing concrete has come out other than Bolsonaro being in stable condition.

Dude is a soup of clashing beliefs and paranoias. Goes on about the wealthy conservative elite, but adored army generals. Blabbed some vaguely communistic stuff, but despised gays and pretty much every lefty candidate. Also was deeply religious and an evangelical misisonary, a weird career for a commie. Except for fellow loon Cabo Daciolo, the one figure he seemed to like and defend, and a similar toxic mix of fervor and contradictions.

^^^ Pretty much this. He had plenty of chances to course correct and every single time he could've changed his policies he instead committed even harder to being a neoliberal idiot/rear end in a top hat/both. We're way past the tipping point now. It took three years, but at last the free dollar exchange and trickle down economics had the result that was obvious to anyone who has ever read a history book: We're hosed. Felicitaciones! Al fin Cambiamos!

What would it take to oust the elite-class landholders from power and policy-making in the Central American countries not called Costa Rica? The majority of Central America's poverty appears to have sprung from their irresponsible policies.

And why are you suggesting the elite landholders don't run Costa Rica? Admittedly it's political economy was unusually dominated by small-holding coffee farmers, but never so much as to completely negate the power of big landowners.

Figured it was time to give an update on how things have gone with Obrador so far: -He broke his campaign promise of taking the army off the streets, stating it would continue because "the army isn't necessary because there are no foreign threats to Mexican sovereignty and in the case, one would arise, he's confident every Mexican would be defending their country Thus, the army will go under a transformation to become an internal force of order" -Despite Morena having a majority in the Congress, it still accepted granting permission to a governor/senator to take a break from his activities as Governor in exchange of five representatives from another political party so they could get absolute control of the Congress. -Just today it was made public by Morena representatives that they wouldn't be reducing their paychecks because "they couldn't reach an agreement" but they would discuss the reduction of salary when discussing next year's budget. Maybe. And the guy hasn't even started!

I'm okay with re-structuring the Mexican Armed Forces into a federal law enforcement and disaster response organization, as that's essentially all they do and should receive appropriate training on the matter and embrace it as part of their mission statement.

That or ramping down their deployment over a period of 1-2 years (while the new organization is created and starts assuming roles) would probably be the best idea imho. About that Chiapas douchebag governor, I have no idea what kind of shady backroom dealings led to that, but it does annoy me.

so it's very likely that we will have to choose between Bolsonaro and Haddad. I think it's safe to say that either winning will gently caress Brazil for good, even if indirectly in the case Haddad wins. Yep, time to get the hell out I guess.

If everyone fucks off I can teach ESL abroad to expats...so hopefully Haddad wins then, because the people hosed by Bolzi aren't gonna be able to gently caress off. Well, most of them, the ones that can probably speak better English than the average Floridian-Brazilian. Haddad is signaling for a "truce" with PSDB and MDB however, FHC even said he would actively support him over Bonoro if it came down to that. We shouldn't forget that Haddad is basically gonna follow Lula's political strategies and the center-right was completely fine with that.

I think the "truce" will become evident or not when the courts decide whether Lula can be interviewed or recorded from jail, which they said they will decide after the first round.

I actually work for a US company already but Trump's immigration policies are really loving me over when getting a work visa. Also I held a small (and dumb) hope that things would eventually settle down in Brazil, since I have several strong bonds keeping me here. If push comes to shove I'll just play the digital nomad game for a while, and possibly apply for refugee status depending on how things go.

I feel like if this truce becomes too evident before the elections end it will be an extremely bad look for them, will increase Haddad's rejection and will possibly hand Bolsonaro the win.

No matter who wins, vote as far left as you can muster for the Legislative positions, because that's the only way you can keep those two in check - Haddad is already showing signs of Dadinho Paz e Amor and Ciro has the Chainsaw Maniac as a VP plus he's actually not a left-wing candidate. My issue with Haddad is immediate rather than a what if scenario: he will probably lose to Bolzie. I wanna believe he will do some anime BS and summon the spirit of the great Lula, but we're two weeks off and he's still looking iffy against him. The concept of PT as this dark and evil entity is too strong nowadays.
