are his supporters still all in for him like trumps or are they starting to get disillusioned? i get its still a bit early to tell

most people that voted for him are understandably less extreme about it now and actually noticed the fuckup they've participated in. The others have turned straight up fanatic about him. My mother will fight anyone that even implies that Bolsonaro isn't the messiah, and that applies to quite a few others too.

doubleposting but real good thread here:

basically people changing their facebook avatars in support of Bolsonaro to "Let's defend/save the federal universities" that are getting majorly defunded now and will probably have to shut down for extended periods.

I've attended courses with military officers and they were very smart, realistic types, but the thing is, as much as they dislike the other factions, they will -burn the country down- before ever turning their backs of the bizarre and freaks in their midst. It's a thing across all armed forces, but even more pathological in Brazil.

Hell, the 1964 coup had basically stalled in its early hours for lack of support, until one loon general in the middle of nowhere decided to declare his command in rebellion, and then the others, even those who hated his guts and thought him a buffoon, all joined in after him because if they didn't the crazy guy would have lost and turned into a joke, and they could not let that happen to their beloved institution.

That's a good comparison, yes.

It really bums me out how much the local left seriously tried to cozy up to the military, even at the expense of their own base, and how it all amounted to zilch. The army was a sorry spectacle in the late 1990s, barely able to have meat in the meals and largely seen as the last resort for miserable people who couldn't get a job anywhere else.

The labour governments almost tripled their funding, gave them standing in developing infrstructure in the far regions of the country, a raised profile doing international missions for the UN, bid for modern fighters for the air force, the works. Nothing made a difference. A scummy friend of my father was a low-level military sec oficer once told us that "Yeah, things are better, but working for these people just doesn't -feel- right" back in 2007. I was hoping he'd be a dot outside the graph, but...nope.

Courting the evangelicals was just as disastrous and far less excusable. Labour candidates showed up at every ugly temple inauguration, passed no law limiting religious privileges and power, and their redistribution and development plans ensured the lower classes, which make the bulk of the faithful, had more money to fleece. None of that bought an ounce of loyalty or goodwill. Some evangelical leaders are opposing the increased focus on violence and guns, since that's such a real, immediate peril in the lives and experience of their folks, but the vast majority don't give two shits and are just swallowing positions and comissions while the sun is shining.

Major protests today against Bolsonaro cuts in public education

https://twitter.com/nohayhandle/status/1128769417586855936

Also, after they got a place in Dallas who accepted to host that prize to Bolsonaro (the one the museum in NY didint wanted to host), Bolsonaro boosted about a meeting with George W Bush

Turns out they forgot to tell Bush about it, who was "suprised" by Bolsonaro's visit

The backlash made Mourão and Guedes' second in command claim it's a temporary cut because tax revenue has been down by 2% but the cuts are like 30-40% of the budget on several unis. Incredible.

Now even the chair of the World Affairs Council, the entity were Bolsonaro was supposed to receive the award, is stating they never invited him and he is not receiving any award there

https://www.dallasvoice.com/baldor-world-affairs-council-did-not-invite-bolsonaro

quote:

“He invited himself,” Baldor said of Bolsonaro’s trip to Dallas.

Baldor explained that World Affairs Council has a contract with the city of Dallas to host foreign dignitaries. He also said there is no public forum planned, and that Bolsonaro will attend a private lunch with private individuals.

“He is not getting an award,” Baldor said, contradicting earlier reports that Bolsonaro was coming to Dallas to accept an award from the Brazilian American Chamber of Commerce after venues in New York City refused to host the award ceremony there, and New York Mayor Bill De Blasio refused to participate in any event with Bolsonaro.

“World Affairs Council did not issue an invitation,” Baldor said. “I personally did not issue an invitation. I do not want him here.”

Is funny to have a pariah president

edit: he is not that worst than Trump, I guess. But he is no president of the worlds hegemonic power. Nobody respects a third world nazi

he was basically meeting with a bunch of hedge fund people and bankers to sell off brazil's resources. the local socialists weren't able to stop him but they did cause a guy working there to lose his poo poo because he tried to drive his mercedes through the guarded entrance and was turned back by the police, and was then heckled mercilessly
