Delusional blowhard leader whose pride precludes any willingness to acknowledge that he fucked up severely, and he keeps doubling down in the vain hope that it will self-correct and "prove him right."

Microcosm is a poor choice of words. You probably want to say reflection.

Brazil is the same size as the US is only slightly less dense in terms of population.

Brazil has a big problem with violent crime which the black and brown population is more likely to be victimized by. It's kind of like how the whole defund the police thing actually hurt democrats with minority voters during the 2020 election.

Anyway the US actually had a good candidate to replace Trump with.

To truly emulate South American politics you must have only shitty populist to choose from.

Considering the DJI is up almost 10% since inauguration, it sounds like you need to learn how to invest.

Saying he didn't handle the virus well is like saying Pompeii didn't handle the volcano well

Aside for attempted SJW and PR reasons, I doubt most would have payed mind to Trump regardless on how he handled it or said.

Like now, most aren't goning to live in forever isolation and quarantine.

can we safely assume they didn't spend months ranting and raving that the smoke and tremors coming from the volcano weren't actually smoke and tremors but just a liberal conspiracy?

Highest population of black people outside of Africa. I studied abroad there and its pretty crazy to see how blatantly segregated it is there.

Maybe not him personally but didn't his VP candidate do a bunch of shit like proudly brag about how his granddaughter was so much whiter than him, branqueamento (sp?) style? And there's the whole thing with the murder of Mariela that I don't really know how it turned out. Definitely had a racial component in it. But I see your point and generally it feels like people just think Bolso is a fascist shit rather than specifically a racist, fascist shit. Sort of comes with the territory though doesn't it?

Oh yeah Marielle Franco's murder has been generally linked to the Bolsonaro family as a whole. I'm not very well versed in the facts so I'm not qualified to say what's what.
I haven't heard about his VP's assertions regarding his daughter, but he's some military asshole so I don't put it past him.

That was before the election I think. And then there's that minister who had "adopted" native kids. His administration is probably not the least racist one in the world :)
