A federal Senator from Bolsonaro's party posted a tweet entitled: "The great danger of today is not NAZISM, it's JOURO-NAZISM." She then photo-shopped the faces of various mainstream journalists onto Nazi soldiers. I wish I could convey how lowly & deranged this movement is:

So funny (and illustrative): the Bolsonaro Senator I referred to in the above tweet - about how the world's "greatest danger is Journo-NAZIS"- deleted her tweet, but her bio reads: "Harvard Kennedy School of Government." Journalists discovered: she did a 5 *day* course there. LOL

As I said, it's so difficult to convey adequately what this Bolsonaro movement is like because there's just nothing like it anywhere, at least to my knowledge. The world, of course, has many of hate-driven and fraudulent factions, but they are unique and special in many key ways.

Oh my god: Bolsonaro posted about the Amazon on his Facebook page. A commenter replied by posting a picture of Marcon's wife & Bolsonaro's (third) wife, saying Macron's criticisms are due to jealousy (about wives). Bolsonaro responded in comments: "don't humiliate the guy. LOL"

I didn't believe it's real. But yes, the President of the world's fifth most-populous country, in the middle of the worst crisis of his presidency, is reading through his Facebook comment section and joining in with random followers to mock Macron's wife. facebook.com/jairmessias.bo…
