• Descrição: Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, as well as the largest economic force in South America. One of the most diverse societies globally (with a population over 211 million people) is now being led by a man who promotes military dictatorship, violence against political opponents, and strengthening the rule of the rich at the expense of the poor and the oppressed. Wrapping himself in the Brazilian flag (figuratively speaking), Jair Bolsonaro preached a political gospel of liberating the country from socialism, from "gender ideology," and from "political correctness" with his inaugural speech on Jan 1, 2019. An ineffective legislator with very few bills listed to his credit, Bolsonaro was widely viewed as a fringe character--so much so, that Rio de Janeiro's largest newspaper, Globo, printed cartoons depicting him as a dinosaur wearing army boots.
