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 like Jon Lee Anderson’s characterization: “a Brazilian version of Donald Trump—slimmer and a decade younger, but just as mouthy—with a large dollop of the Philippines’ President Rodrigo Duterte thrown in.”
