It’s funny seeing our lilly white posters mourning the Bolsonaro presidency. Meanwhile all of my actual Brazilian friends seem near universally stoked.
You are absolutely correct. While I think Bolsonaro is disgusting and I abhor the things he has said/plans to do, Brazil is in absolute shambles right now and i understand why they voted for him.
Hypothetically, if the United States had 3 consecutive Dem presidents all wrapped in major corruption scandals(that led to actual criminal charges), surging violent crime rates and a sluggish economy, I'd bet many left leaning posters would be willing to give the super right wing candidate like Bolsonaro a look.
No, most left leaning posters might indeed look for a right wing alternative, but not a far right one like Bolsonaro.
Most leftists here wouldn't have a problem with say, president Geraldo Alckmin or president Joao Amoedo
speak for your self. (Alckmin is not the worst though).
