    Far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro won the first round of Brazil's election but did not earn a majority, setting up a second round run-off on Oct. 28.https://www.axios.com/far-right-candidate-wins-first-round-brazil-election--25bd2663-f199-4e62-bc75-d974dd2999db.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=twsocialshare&utm_campaign=organic …

        Why do you feel the need to try and scare people by labeling him “far-right”? He wants what’s best for his people. That’s far-right?

        He also said he would rather have a dead son than a gay one. (Brazil is more dangerous for gay people than Saudi Arabia) Also he pretty racist against arabs. I'd say he really is far right

        There’s corruption in any power, correct. Especially in democratic systems, evidenced by modern and 20th century government systems. The Philippines is doing great and those laws sound fine.

        I think you need to educate yourself about this man. He’s called for dictatorship, said not enough civilians were murdered in the 80s by the government, & that he wouldn’t rape a woman because she was too ugly. 🤨

        Hey I’m just saying for the record. Not trying to make it seems like i know a thing of this guy nor the election, but just stating an observation I’ve noticed with any election that’s foreign to the US. But could this guy actually be Far-Right? From what you said then yes

        Not really. Russia is well-known to be bolstering right wing candidates & interfering in elections all over the world, trying to change the dynamic. It’s not a theory, it’s a fact, and there’s plenty documentation.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/09/07/alleged-russian-political-meddling-documented-27-countries-since-2004/619056001/ …
