And our President just congratulated him. He also sent a thing congratulating Donald Trump on his election as well.

From the NYT storyquote:After the first round of voting, in which Mr. Bolsonaro received just shy of the 50 percent required to win outright, some political analysts expected he would moderate his rhetoric in order to appeal to centrist or undecided voters. nail "they were wrong" to the grave of every "political analyst", tia

THS posted:what is the state of the brazilian left outside the workers party The only party with any representation outside of PT is PSOL, which has about 1/5 the number of members in congress and no governors and like 2 mayors. It has virtually no presence in the major labor unions and suffers from many of the same problems of DSA in the US (outside of maybe Rio, it has a mostly middle class, mostly white, mostly urban membership). I am uncertain about what is going to happen with it. On one hand, it might grow if PT members decide to leave PT given the anti-PT sentiment. On the other, it might be completely overshadowed by the PT as PT becomes the main opposition party to Bolsonaro. It's also a somewhat sad history. PSOL had a chance to make real opposition from the left to PT when PT was in power, but Heloisa Helena was their main figure, and she was a pro-life rear end in a top hat who ran a campaign that focused solely on PT's corruption and who would frequently say things like "we don't need new taxes" when the PT tried to make the tax code slightly more progressive. When the base tried to revolt against her she pulled a bunch of shady poo poo and made the party lose a lot of credibility.

This place is. You have no visceral idea of what its like in these places (institutionally weak, impoverished). I'm not sure if I'm more pissed of about the left or the right -(Rant about PT people waving the red flag like its 1917, OPTICS you idiots) -Insert something about basic education levels and long term consequences there of. When did mandatory HS education occur happen in teh US, when did it occur here. No quick solutions, hold the center but that's not happening, no one likes hearing their economy is hosed fo the next two generations, that is only if mechanization of basic unskilled jobs does not ,sklfjsofj3oj!@~#~#!@$E, protectionist idiots ! eL:AKJ# Welp, we will all muddle through.

normally i'd say that leaving your country on account of the right taking power is cowardly and you're better off fighting them on their own turf, but i'll make an exception for brazil. plutonis and every other brazilian goon, get the gently caress out when/if you can i dm'd the person on instagram from brazil who shared those fascist barbie memes that i shared itt, saying newark has a large portuguese speaking population (not just brazilian). she says she's gonna think about it, but tonight she's just gonna cry

If these farmer/colonial/ people who are agricultural peons had legit access to a something with firepower, the local gauchos might be a tad more careful. Never thought I'd actually agree with the 2nd amendment absolutist types, but this place.
