You talking about the support for lava jato and the impeachment? Im aware of that. But I dont think they expected or wanted a Bolsonaro out of that, just another tucano

But Trump also supports regime changes in those countries, he just seems so far focused in other stuff first. The difference is that Trump and Bolsonaro are openly professing the same neofascist ideas and lies, and supporting each other on that, and sharing strategies to advance that ideology and so on.

To me, thats worst. Just as I would hate to have Aécio Neves as president, but Bolsonaro is worst

We dont vote for president of the United States anyway, but I personally want to see the orange pig loses and I think thats best for us

Trump is 0-2 in Latin American fascist coups.

Obama/Biden was 3 for 3. They have the full legitimacy to overthrow governments on a whim, and Biden has made it clear he supports right wing lunatic coups in any country that dares to have natural resources that Wall Street wants to exploit.

I see your point. However, foreign influence against us is much more than presidential policies, right?

Trump has severely weakened the State Department, for example. This is what coordinates all the different interests and actions towards what is regarded as beneficial to the US government. In terms of "legitimizing far-right", if we are going to consider their history on doing that, they are effectively crippled for the moment because the modus operandi was always "have our own mad dog in charge"

Bolsonaro is an incompetent rear end in a top hat too, but under a Biden administration, he would be "advised" in many important ways to help things move smoothly or given how unstable his position is atm, hello Mourão!

I don't think there's a good option for Brazil, but i think the harms are different.

A Trump wins means bozo will continue to have a green light to just burn down the Amazon, be friendly with the militias, etc.

A Biden wins means the US going all in on moro president. That would potentially lead to criminalization of the left and of social movements at a level not seen since the dictatorship.

Trump legitimizes Bozo's worst actions in a way that Biden wouldn't, but Bidn will interfere in Brazilian elections in a way that Trump wouldn't know how.

The last option is potentially worse but not necessarily guaranteed. It's the one bird in the hand or two in the bush scenario, except the birds have a taste for human flesh. Either way, as a dual citizen I can vote in American elections and I went for Howie Hawkins.

Agreed, but I don't think they will go for Moro. He is a spent force except for a small fraction of deluded fools, tainted by both associating with Bozo and 'betraying' him. No one likes an opportunist.

Not, it'll be some Luciano Huck figure, talking about saving the ecosystem and returning the the peaceful ways of consensus neoliberalism.

things are looking shaky here, the PMDB ex mayor is returning from his stint at the state government and PT decided to put up a relatively unknown woman teacher as their candidate, they've been owning the right hard for 2 consecutive elections now but who the gently caress knows, my city being one of the only ones in RS that didn't get a bozo majority gives me some hope at least

Belo Horizonte does have a candidate who might help PSOL be less Rio centered, but it looks like he's not getting anywhere for mayor. But she has been doing pretty well in legislative elections. Áurea Carolina seems pretty good, and even some of my more anti-pt relatives like her.

Probably. Actual percentage population that follow his cult are at most 20% and that's being generous (with many now turning away), others that would vote for him are just moved by antipetismo inertia

oh yes they are

they were before the pandemic but this blew them right open. I have a slightly conspiratorial hunch that the federal government does not want to push for a hard mass vaccination program like in the 1910s/20s because hey, if people feel safe to congregate, then they will be ready to mobilize, and it feels like it is going to be a big one once it goes out

in a perverse way, the pandemic encourages those idiotic decisions because there is no organized popular blowback so to speak, but at the same time, other ways to gauge the temperature show it loving sucks and why yes we are still pissed, so it becomes a kicking can game

Maybe you're underestimating the middle class' capacity for amnesia. The ones who've turned away from Bozo mostly want a return to politics as usual, as long as that doesn't mean a PT government. PSDB or something close to it can still reshape itself into "the respectable option for good citizens".

I think that if the Chinese vaccine release in Sao Paulo goes well, Doria will get endless positive press. Bozo will probably start at 33% next time, which means that it will be a tough fight for second place, and the media will go all in on the non-PT second place contender.

I think it is fair to say it is going to be bad either way, but Biden handlers will simply take more the velvet glove approach but absolutely the same goals in mind. That said, I think Trump's failures are more than an illustration of the incompetence of his administration but that the US hold itself is weakening.

A Libya-style operation probably isn't possible today simply because immediately the Chinese/Russians would get involved and it would go from an easily winnable fight to something the public might start waking up to. The beltway knows that since Vietnam, the American public won't stomach a real fight.

Apparently, the highly publicized Ferrer rape case ended with....*checks notes*

...the lawyer humiliating the victim live and showing (clothed) glamour shots of her to claim she is an opportunist slut, and the prosecution settling on an 'accidental rape' pledge (the sexual version of manslaughter), which does not exist in legal literature, so it was thrown out and the rapist in question declared innocent.

Between the actively nazi governor and stuff like this, Santa Catarina is not subtle about wanting to be the Waffen-SS HQ of the new neofacist order, huh?

It was a rape trial in Santa Catarina (the most pro-Nazi state in here). The defense lawyer humiliated the victim in the audience, saying it was all her fault, he was glad he didn't have a daughter like her, and so on. The judge did nothing to stop this bs and gave a not guilty sentence. This happened despite there being very good evidence the guy was guilty as gently caress.
Really, it was more or less the usual for sex crimes trials in here, only this time everyone could see what was going on because the audience video leaked.

Edit - some extra info:
* The medical investigators found the guy's semen in the girl, despite his denial they had sex;
* The guy, to absolutely nobody's surprise, is a white businessman.
