Meh. Sure, one party in power forever is bad, but... a fascist is not that great either.
Oh, it's actually pretty much independent from who the president is, every time a new president is elected he starts with approval around 80%.
It's tradition here in Brazil, and they always leave government risking being lynched by a mob if seen outside, with approval ratings well under 20%(Temer has the record I think? 3% at the lowest?) . The only exception so far has been Squid and Dilma's first term, but he is in jail and her name is in the gutter now.
That said, they did hold the presidency for very long, but no party has ever had a majority in Brazil's government legislative, due to they way we run our elections that force variety and proportional representation. That was supposed to hold on extremism and other undesirable policy, but ended up incentivizing inter-party vote buying via bribes and cabinet positions.
I still haven't got over how many people voted for Pocket in the first turn, there is simply no excuse for all his actions, views and statements, and everyone who voted in him is either ignorant or complicit.
But I do hope he will do a great job, after all, it's my home country, it's where I live!
We all hope. Seriously, it was fun laughing at america, but schadenfreude only works when it's the amiguinho getting boned.
EG, the joke is that there is a predominantly misogynist population that accedes that there is some potential for contradiction there, but it is OK, because that brand of contradiction reinforces their own biases, which they view as obvious, and thus truth-- Whereas if the candidate were female, well--- that's just straight out wrong. Obviously.
There are many in Brazil who think Dilma's impeachment was due to misogyny since she didn't actually committ any crime, and it probably has some to it, but I think it's more likely that she was impeached as a appeasing move to the mobs and as a way to get someone willing to dissolve operation lava-jato, since she refused to do it. Too bad, president Fear didn't do it either, so they got screwed anyway.
