Jair Bolsonaro is now awaiting trial on charges of plotting a coup, depriving Brazil’s far-right bloc of its figurehead. Yet with a presidential election due next year, the Brazilian left hasn’t found a candidate who can match Lula’s popular appeal.
The Brazilian Right hasn’t found a successor to Bolsonaro either. We’re all lost, really, politics is meaningless, the so-called left does right wing stuff, the right wing panders superficially to the working class, up is down, down is up. I have zero hope of seeing any meaningful change in my country’s political class during my lifetime. There is pretty much no expressive political left in Brazil.
It’s a big bag of “Oops! All Liberals” and we have to eat it and be glad our latest coup plotters were stupid enough to take the proverbial notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy, or else we could have been living in the world’s dumbest military dictatorship where the ruling class has both the temperament and intelligence of a rabid Bully XL.
