There's one thing about Bolsonaro that can't be denied: he made people proud to be brazilian again. After decades of subversive worker's party nonsense, it was a breath of fresh air. What you call fear and despair is happiness and hope for many if not most. But in general I don't disagree with you. Bolsonaro is a moron and it's pretty sad that he was the brazilian right's most viable candidate. His mandate had good points but was also full of completely unnecessary controversy. He was obssessed with saying insulting and outrageous things for the sake of it. He actually could have won if he had simply kept his mouth shut. > spend the entire time in power questioning the election system without actually improving it He's not at fault for that. He tried. He's always advocated for the paper trail. Our congress tried too, multiple times. The supreme court wouldn't let them improve the system. They declared the paper trail unconstitutional. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36543423 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36543423 Had the paper trail system been implemented, there would have been zero reasons to question or doubt the election results. But we just can't have nice things. The judge-king declared that the machines are INQUESTIONABLE!! And started censoring and fining anyone who questioned anything. It's just pathetic. The judge and his obstruction is a major reason why things got to the point they did. He didn't just obstruct progress, he doubled down on his nonsense and started getting arbitrary with the punishments, fines and censorship. It's all "fake news" to him. I am completely opposed ideologically to the current system but I don't think they're the real problem. The problem is these judges. Have you ever heard the saying? "Doctors think they're gods, judges know it". Brazil will not be fixed until those words are gone. > We might even see investigations against de Moraes, just as we have seen against Moro. We have precedence for this. I hope so. We agree on this.
