Bolsonaro, the Brazilian fascist

The stuff that comes out of this piece of garbage's mouth would make Trump blush (or at least feel a bit embarrassed in front of Javanka).  He is certainly on a continuum representative of the futile efforts of capitalist democracies to cope with the pathologies of economic life under capitalism, but he is not simply a rhetorical fascist.  Good wishes to the people of Brazil!  And for Americans, the key lesson is this:  if the Democratic Party were actually to become a party representing the vast majority, and not simply the prudent wing of the ruling class, we can expect a similar phenomenon.
