One of many problems I have with comparing Bolsonaro to Trump (besides the fact their backgrounds and goals are totally different): many, many US Trump supporters are lifelong believers in democracy and would not (or should not) support Bolsonaro if they knew about him
I’m not so sure that’s where the difference lies. Militarism —or what Chomsky calls “the state religion” so pervasive in US political culture. It’s not perfect analogy but there are significant parallels
