Yeah society as a whole here is probably MORE racist than the USA but we are just better at hiding it.

Doria is essentially a Brazilian version of Berlusconi and Trump (he even hosted the loving Apprentice!). That is to say, a wealthy rear end in a top hat without any particular ideology, altough with some lovely and extremist leanings.

The State of São Paulo has been ruled for years by Geraldo Alckmin of the PSDB, who is also terrible but in a "moderate" light , which our population loving adores for some reason.

Doria was his protege and became mayor mostly because of Alckmin and political maneuvering inside the party, which naturally led him to stab his mentor in the back to get the presidential nomination - to no one's benefit, since it looks like everyone outside of São Paulo hates their guts.

You might be thinking of Jair Bolsonaro, federal deputy of Rio de Janeiro, who's pretty much a fascist in all but name.

Doria straight up said that the northeast would have a tourist opportunity if they made the places suffering from droughts "misery tourism" spots in the 90s.

tbqf there is a lot of internal dynamics of modern Brazilian politics that will make no sense to an outside pov (and make no sense to a formal internal pov either)

Romário (yes him) went into the Senate through a "right-wing approach" so to speak and did some... rather progressive policies and was one of the few that had a 100% voting participation and financial disclosure

He still voted for the Impeachment so gently caress him

So a shitload of police in my city were deployed to protect a Bolsonaro outdoor from vandalism but meanwhile there's an incoming criminal faction war after PCC leaders got killed here.

For context the two biggest criminal factions in the country, the PCC and CV (First Commando of the Capital and Red Commando) started an all out war last year inside the prisons and outside and the murder rate spiked because of it. It doesn't help that the local factions took sides as well, like the "Guardians of the State" here, who massacred a nightclub because CV people frequented it.
