> Anyone who believed in a moderate government has already jumped ship So how is that different to Bolsanaro?

  Uh, in every possible way? Not once did I see him censoring anyone. Not even himself, in the numerous moments where he really should have kept his mouth shut. I didn't see him try to reappropriate private property to illegal invaders. He didn't create 10+ bullshit ministries, he instead sought to reduce the government machinery, bureaucracy, expenses and taxes. If you think the next four years are going to be anything like the last four years or even the last two decades, I really don't know what to say.

    > I didn't see him try to reappropriate private property to illegal invaders I suppose the slash and burn agriculture he explicitly encouraged in the Amazon involved legal invaders, so that's fair.

      Personally I don't really care about the Amazon at all. Developed countries exploited their own natural resources, what right do they have to condemn anyone else for doing the same? I'd happily sacrifice that entire jungle if it brought wealth and prosperity to the people of the brazilian north and northeast. This country seriously needs to develop those regions. It's a moot point anyway. Bolsonaro no longer matters, and I'm not interested in discussing the past any longer. What matters is the future and it's not looking good. It looks like you have no comments to make on the future so I guess this is where this conversation ends.
