Brazil’s newly elected president, Jair Bolsonaro, is
strikingly similar to Donald J. Trump. He has expressed a strong opposition to
women, gay people, and black people. On September sixth, while he was
campaigning at a rally, Bolsonaro was stabbed by a passerby who did not agree
with the politicians’ views. In a very twisted way the stabbing has been an
advantage of Bolsonaro. He was constantly in the news getting free publicity
and he was able to opt out of all debates; Which, if he is really like Trump,
are probably not his strong suit. Bolsonaro won the Brazilian presidential
election without answering any hard questions making this the cushiest campaign
ever. Bolsonaro has been very vocal about his want for Brazil to go back to
being a dictatorship which could be damaging to the still new democratic system
of the country. Bolsonaro has also been accused of child sex abuse, to combat
this accusation he exclaimed “Are you calling me a rapist?... She’s calling me
a rapist!.... I would never rape you because you don’t deserve it.” Some of his
other controversial (evil) opinions include a deadly hatred of gay people, that
women do not deserve equal pay because they may get pregnant, and “Brazil would
be a better country if the dictatorship had killed more people”. Brazil has
obviously made a mistake electing a man like this. But, then again, America did
elect Trump with very similar claims.
