Jair Bolsonaro is the front-runner in Brazil's presidential election. He is a conservative Christian, pro-gun, a former army captain, and the only candidate with no corruption charges against him. He's looking to modernise the lethargic Brazilian economy with the aid of UChicago economist Paulo Guedes. He wants to align Brazil's foreign policy with Western nationalist governments against the influence of China, Eurasianism and regional socialism (Venezuela and Cuba). He has a hard stance on crime and supports increasing the power of police forces and the army to tackle Brazil's drug and violence problems. Under heavy fire from the media and academia, with an extremely restricted campaign budget, and having survived an assassination attempt, Bolsonaro's presidential run is nothing short of extraordinary.
JB's antagonist in the presidential race is Fernando Haddad, a sociologist, former minister of education under Lula and former mayor of São Paulo. He's running for the left-wing Labour Party (PT) under the guidance of former president Lula, who is currently in prison after being convicted for corruption and money laundering. PT had been the ruling party in Brazil for 13 years, but is facing high rejection in the polls after a police investigation uncovered the largest known corruption scheme in Brazilian history, which PT architected.
>Brazil just elected a fascist for President. The Philippines is led by a Fascist. Poland & Hungary are led by illiberal proto-authoritarians. Israel, Italy, Austria & India are led by ethno-Nationalists. U.S. is led by a racist demagogue. Dark times for the world.
Looks like the global chessboard just got realigned in a big way. Congrats Hueanons. Hopefully you will buy some of these surplus guns we have here now.
Eduardo Bolsonaro (his son) visited Anderson Silva in 2016, they talked about the problems caused by gun-control laws and how it took away our self defense capabilities. youtube.com/watch?v=tMOIoezc3Xg
What's the most optimistic we can expect from Bolsonaro's government?
Evan Sanders
haddad is probably going to jail for corruption now > presidential deathmatch, all stakes
Most folks probably dont know about brazil's influence since they dont do much outside brazil, but they are a significant player and a huge exporter, including oil.
Maybe he will make Taurus fix their shit and make good weapons.
>Sem tempo de TV, candidato por um partido nanico e vítima de um atentado com faca no meio da campanha eleitoral. Nenhuma destas adversidades foi capaz de impedir que Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) se elegesse o 38º presidente da República da história do Brasil neste domingo, 28.
