“During the first decade of this century, Brazil appeared to be a country that was finally reaching for the future. Now it seems mired in the past. The violence of this election has plunged Brazilians into a kind of collective convulsion.”

I dont believe that "if only PT had done everything according to your sense of perfect, the right would have nothing to pin on it" but also that doesn't mean the only alternative was to do business as usual

Again, if you think that the PT was “business as usual,” I’m not sure what to tell you other than go with God. It requires believing middle classes voting for JMB are doing it because they think he’s not a fascist but some sort of political outsider. That’s insane.
-
do you think all of JMB's voters are actual fascists?! I certainly don't think thats the case, I think it's much more complicated than that. there's a core that wholly subscribes to his agenda, maybe half, but there are many driven by other motivations
-
I guess a preceding question is: do you believe he’s an actual fascist? Because if that’s “more complicated” for you, then I see where our disagreement comes from. Re his voters, I’d love to hear what you think are the other motivations to support an actual fascist beyond fascism
-
hes undoubtedly a fascist!!!! I've publicly said as much: https://twitter.com/bernajurema/status/1048858136789102592 … on JMB's support, I like Toledo's analyses. here for example: https://piaui.folha.uol.com.br/medo-por-medo-da-bolsonaro/ …

Of interest: https://www.americasquarterly.org/content/aq-interview-ciro-gomes … Also isn’t he in Europe now?

oh I'm totally aware that ciro was a bad candidate. my idea, giving up my vote on the pstu candidate to ciro was to avoid a run-off centered around "antipetismo" vs "antibolsonarismo", not out of any inclination towards ciro. On his trip to Europe, this sums it up nicely:pic.twitter.com/wooJMszS90
