@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart And - lo and behold - he didn't even need a Coup or to establish a "formal" dictatorship! He's doing all that within the institutional framework, or, rather, institutional skeleton, of a democracy! Amazing, mate (as our Aussi friends would say)! Or not.
@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (2) (although I didn't number the other): @DavidNeiwert , I guess the "sadism and oppressive violence" start came during the campaign.

@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (3) For example, the murder of Mestre Moa do Katande, a beloved African-Brazilian activist and Capoeira Master, by an ultra-right Bsolominion:

@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (4) The campaign had a few slogans that were an obvious threat. Not to us, the left: to anybody who wouldn't bow down to them: "Melhor JAIR se acostumando" (you better get used to it, in a word play with his name, Jair Bolsonaro and "better get" = "já ir") 
@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (5) Sub-text: "all those horrible things I said, like celebrating the torturers, destroying educations, taking the lands from Indians and destroying the Rain Forest? Well, get used to it because I'm going to win and do it all".
@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (6) "If I win, I will end this community child-care 'thing'. The State has no obligation to watch 'other people's' children. This is the parents' duty" (Representative Jair Bolsonaro - way before the election)
@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (7) The other sign that not many noticed was the hand gesture (the "gun-hand"). That was clear because it's a Milia-man identification sign. The sub-text would be: "remember us? Underground violent scum? Guess what: now we rule and we'll kill you".
@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (8) Let's face it, we didn't see it coming because we all (and that includes all intellectuals: scholars, journalists, leaders...) failed to see the new brand of RW leaders. As you have been pointing out almost every week, it was there all the time, in the historical records...
@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (9) So replying to your comment, his start on his promises started with the Amazonia fires, preceded by burning environmental agencies and murdering Indians. But he was prepared for this role for 30 years and he started during the campaign.
@DavidNeiwert @wydmindfeersart (10) ok... very badly worded: his kickoff on his promises to the international audience started with the Amazonia fires, preceded by burning environmental agencies and murdering Indians but it actually started earlier. Sorry for that. Sunday, bourbon, etc.
