As a Brazilian homosexual who's very worried about the situation in my country right now, I must say that this episode was pretty accurate and informative for non-Brazilians.
The Brazilian politician scenario has taken a dark turn in the recent years. After years of scandals involving the PT party on the car wash scheme, the Brazilians decided to vote for an "outsider", the only problem with this, is that "Bolsonaro" is everything, but a outsider.
Bolsonaro and his family have been inside the Brazilian congress for almost 30 years! Once in a while he is caught in some corruption scandals, for some reason some rumors spread on WhatsApp(Brazilians don't check sources for what they read on their soscial media) that Bolsonaro was the only clean and honest politician in the country., but that's not even the worst part about the Bolsonaro family. Bolsonaro has been a an admirer of our past military dictatorship for years, he said in an interview during the 90s that Pinochet should have killed more people, and that it didn't matter if innocent people died. He has also said many harsh things against blacks, indigenous people, the LGBT community and women. Thing slike: "I'd rather my son to die in a car accident than him appearing in front of me kissing another bearded dude", "my son would never date a black person, I gave him education", "(referring to a group of black people) "they don't serve to do anything, only to eat and get fat", "I had 4 sons, when I was about to have my fifth one(a girl) I got weak and a daughter was born". The worst part about this is that when we show these quotes to Bolsonaro supports, aka: Bolsominions, they Just dismiss it as fake news or say "but at least he's not PT".
As much as I hate PT, I can not understand how on earth someone could vote in a such a disposable human being. Brazil has seen a surge in religious fundamentalism lately, evangelicals are about 33% of the population now and they spread lots of hate and ignorance against minority groups. I think they were essential for electing Bolsonaro, as most surveys suggested that among evangelicals, Bolsonaro was by far the most preferred presidential candidate. I'm really afraid of the future of this country, the level of brainwashing happening here is insane! Just take a look at the John Oliver's video on YouTube, it has lots of dislikes. Everything negative about Bolsonaro always receive tons of dislikes, the "Bolsonaro army" or "Bolsominions" are the dumbest kind of people I've ever met!
