1 year agoA day to celebrate! Bolsonaro is a mediocre politician whose insignificant contribution could earn him a rightful reputation as Brazil’s worst president. His disastrous tenure served no purpose other than cloning a Trump-like management and paving the way for his reelection. He has made Brazilian society even more divisive, intolerant and hateful. His infamous contributions include:
- Discrediting vaccination (COVID -19 especially).
- Promoting intolerance towards LGBTQ+.
- Encouraging everyone to own guns.
- Closing incentives for arts and culture.
- Promoting deforestation of a large part of the Amazon jungle.
- Ignoring the pleas of Indians for food and medical assistance.
- Undermining the credibility of the electoral system.
- Neglecting Brazil’s diplomatic relations.
- Poisoning relations with the press.
- Attempting a coup d’état to overthrow President-elect Lula.
These are just a few highlights of a long list of misdeeds that define him as an unsympathetic jerk. I know that may sound like a lot, but as you get to know this character, you will probably be tempted to add some additional notes to the above list.-
Think of Bolsonaro as a tropical caricature of whiny Donald, and you’ll get the picture.
