@felipeneto In the last year, anyone perceived as an enemy of Bolsonaro is targeted & threatened with violence. One of Brazil's most famous journalists, @MiriamLeitaoCom, had to cancel public event after Bolsonaro's criticisms. I had fireworks shot at me during a speech.
@felipeneto @MiriamLeitaoCom The first- elected LGBT Congressman of Brazil, @jeanwyllys_real, fled because of graphic, detailed death threats (pics of his house, his mother's car, etc). Other politicians have fled or sent their children outside. So beyond Bolsonaro's official fascism, there's this climate.
