Urban centers (favelias), already. Otherwise hold the Maoist cheering for your fanfic. The state is nowhere near Venezuela/ Columbia in the 80s.
It's civilized so no true panic yet, its the institutional decay that is to my mind most toxic.

Brazil legit needs someone to do a better job with the knife this time.

I know, maybe that would make things worse, but Bolsonaro will literally start death squads at the first possibility

Not only is a huge chunk of Brazilians living abroad extremely reactionary, even the namely "liberal" ones are generally bad.

I've mentioned it this several times in the Latin American thread in D&D, but there's this subset of Brazilians who in the US root for democrats, get emotional talking about Obama, post quotes of MLK who, when it comes to Brazilian politics, are extremely reactionary. It's the "Manhattan Connection" crowd. The epitome of that are journalists like Lucia Guimaraes, who will tweet about how horrendous the police brutality in the US is, while at the same time frequently defending Alckmin and the Sao Paulo police.

this is my aunt, a Brazilian immigrant for 35ish years living in Houston, to a T. She's extremely "green", protested the pipeline when that was going on, voted for Marina Silva in the first round of this election, and then Bolsonaro in the second because she believed the Workers Party was trying to make children gay

If Brazil is going to democratically elect fascists, why bother with the time consuming electoral process? Don't look at "no elections" as a bad thing, think of it as a shortcut to the same inevitable destination.
