Trump-like guy (Bolsonaro) won Brazil's general election!

[Apollo]

What is wrong with this world?? All these Trump-like tards are winning all over the world.

Recently the Sweden Democrats rose to record levels before and now Brazil has gone far-right!

Brazil is a major world economy, so this is relevant to us all as well.

He called immigration from ''Haiti, Africa and the Middle East,"the scum of humanity":siilaanyolaugh:

Its reaction to the left going too far to the left. Human beings are tribalist by nature. The message these guys are using speaks to most of us.

Since the late 1980s, the neoliberal center-right has been in power in most of the West. Clinton/Obama/Bush/Blair etc weren't that left they were center-right or centrists.

Something else is going on.

This is not conservatism. This is nationalism growing. Even standard conservatives are being rejected. Trump and brexit was pure white nationalst saying enough is enough. From everything I read about this candidate he used the us, our way and our people route trump and nigel farage used

Brazilians are already mostly Mulatto, Quadroon, Mestizo or Triracial. Why on earth would they go far-right??

I heard Neymar voted for him.

The South of Brazil, which is mostly WHITE voted for this guy (in dark Blue).

The Northeast of Brazil, which is mostly BLACK voted for his opponent (in Red+Green).

Gotta love the blacks.

Who even immigrates to Brazil

in broad day light.

Isn't the blue the jungles?

Before I try to analyse this, I am not in any way an expert on Brazil.

---

I think this individual's rise to power is similar to Trump primarily because the social environment in Brazil is similar to the US. Brazil, like the United States, is a non-Hispanic nation surrounded by mainly Hispanic countries. This leads to concerns about immigration and the social environment in these said nations, similar to how Trump describes Mexico and the Carribean.

Furthermore, the racial makeup of Brazil and its racial history is very similar to the US. Brazil has a very poor Black population and a wealthy white one, with mixed-race individuals sitting in the middle class. Also, Brazil holds a significant non-South American population consisting of Arabs, Asians and Europeans.

So I'm not surprised.

Brazil is a middle income country and is known for welcoming immigrants historically.

Yeah, he was the one who got stabbed for his far-right statements.

Blairites were ex-Marxists who masqueraded as center-right liberals to gain power. Blairites adopted certain centre-rights economic policies because that is one area where the left
had to compromise. In the areas of education; of intrusion into family life ; of immigration; of attitudes to relationships, there has been a quiet leftist revolution since the 1960s.The leftists in the U.K. run the education system, the universities and many segments of the media.

Canada is next.

This man is unafraid to speak the truth. He told a black MP that the world doesn't revolve around her skin colour and that immigration should come from rich countries and no refugees

Low population density, irrelevant. Look at the Eastern coast where most Brazilians live. The Northeast which is mostly Mulatto or Black voted for his opponent.

Blacks seem reliable left-wing voters:
