Plutonis posted:Yeah lol you know when people were worried about the US fundies rising to power due to their support of Bush in the 00s? Here those fuckers have way more influence in politics than that. That's really weird, up until the past couple years I thought of Brazil's relationship to religion as "Catholicism, but not too much and definitely not on Carnaval", with puritanical evangelism being a mostly US phenomenon.

Probably not the Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/10/bolsonaro-brazil-election-trump/572365/ Wherein we pretend PT hasn't been out of power for two and a half years and replaced by right wing kleptocrats who are also indicted for corruption

Does Brazil have any irredentist claims to a neighboring country like Uruguay or something that Bolsonaro could decide to annex or is he not that flavor of fascist

joepinetree posted:But that has always sort of been the case in Brazil. The "socially liberal fiscal conservative professionals" that in the US have become the core of the democratic party can just be reactionaries in Brazil because they know that there's always a way for rich Brazilians to avoid conservative laws. It's the same reason why there very little push towards legalizing abortion in Brazil. For upper class women, abortion has always been de facto legal. Just like same sex couples have always been able to find a way to legally fulfill all the things that marriage would. Just like Brazil is one of the most violent places on earth for poor trans women, while at the same time being very accepting of trans celebrities (Roberta Close was the cover of Playboy almost 30 years ago). After all, they're voting for the candidate of the "Social Liberal Party"

More than likely the most Brazil will do against Venezuela is help out any future contras financially and materially, and let them hide out in the Amazon if need be.

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