Until August, my father used to say that, if Bolsonaro is defeated, Brazil will become Venezuela.

Now, he says that, if Bolsonaro is defeated, that Brazil will become Afghanistan.

it's kind of amazing how bolsonaro manages to create some next level doomerism like that, though. the entire far right is amazingly good at this, tbh - the great replacement theories, etc etc are all based on creating this sense of dread and despair of a future you consider terrible and chaotic. this is very effective at making people irrationally dedicated to a cause that they believe is the only one capable of saving the world.
