The idea that Trump even remembers who Bolso is, or cares about Brazil in some grand geopolitical way, is my favorite political delirium of our times.

Any decent estimates on the pro-crazy demonstrations today? I don't think they will flop, as it's still too soon after Boldo's victory and we've proven conclusively that 20% of Brazil is foaming madmen, but I'd love to be proved wrong.

The ones on Rio were far larger than I expected and they got a good lot of people in Brasilia but on the Northeast they were mostly flops.

Is not a big city, but Bolsonaro had around 70% of the votes here

There are demonstrations here in Porto Alegre at Goethe Av. though, but that's to be expected. Nothing major.

Another story demonstrating the hell hole that Brazil is:

https://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidia...o-de-ferido.htm

For the non-English speaking goons:
A 17 year old kid had his hands up and was unarmed, according to a witness. The police then shot the kid. At this point the witness starts filming, and the video shows the police officers putting a 9mm in his hands and shooting it, as he lies bloody and not moving. They also drop a radio by his side, and claim that he was a drug dealer. Despite the video clearly showing all of that, the judge dismisses the case, because 9mm is not something that the police uses and a 9mm is expensive so that police officers wouldn't use that model just to plant it. And since that means that they weren't guilty of the murder of the kid, they can't be guilty of a cover up of a crime that didn't happen.

The previous minister of education that was sacked after two months due to gross incompetence turned out to be indicated to Bolsonaro by the rightwing Guru Olavo de Carvalho and Bolsonaro didn't even bothered to check on the guy's capabilities. Olavo also only recommended that guy because he read articles by him.

I think that was pretty obvious with bebianno when he hired a reply guy as his personal lawyer because he offered to do it for free, raising to the highest levels of government in a very short amount of time

and then Bolsonaro was afraid he would charge him for his attorney work if he fired him,lol

I'm just glad this moron is such an inept clown he can't even negotiate the bare minimum to empower his unhinged ideologues. I figured that he'd be able to keep his base mostly coherent and feed the centrão a bunch of concessions to push the agenda of televangelists and militia cannibals, but he has such bad political tact he can't articulate anything despite almost 30 years of sitting on his rear end in Brasília.

I wonder how things would go if Meireles, Alckmin or Amoedo won and they pushed an even more brutal economic and maybe environmental policy but a more subdued social one.

They'd be hailed as moderate saviours and the antidote to the goofy monsters in power now.

It's an open question if it'd be enough. The institutions that boosted them (big media, the courts, the 'markets') have lost of a lot of power and prestige lately, when they have not been partially infiltrated by chuds.

Turns out that when you make open hatred of a nebulous 'commies' entity as the sole factor that guides political viability, you create an audience that will not settle for the polished, presentable neoliberal crony and wants the real, bloody-handed article.

People who literally made a living basing the left on the radio, like Marcelo Madureira and 'historian' Villas Boas have been summarily fired from their vehicles the moment their cristicism of the new regime went beyond "They're not doing so well, are they?". Oddly enough, those and other cases only saw rising fame and money during the supposed oppression if a free-speech-hating, mildly leftist government a few years ago.

It's going to take a crash, and big one, to really put a dent in Bolsonarism in Brazil. Otherwise, they will always say that the corrupt system brought the savior down because he was too honest/good to be tolerated, and that the right should be less nice next time around.
