Ya, they've had it real good....
... and a Riot is:
A form of entertainment given to the military by innocent bystanders.
The country was in trouble and voters reacted. That happens in every country. The right will dominate for a while then the left is voted in. It's cyclic.
This guy is far right. That could end up hurting Brazil because extremism never works.
Without checks and balances the right or the left could send us over the edge. The far right is every bit as dangerous as the far left.

Escaping from the left into...what?
"Bolsonaro caused an outcry last year when he said in a speech that the slave descendants living in Brazil’s “quilombo” settlements are fat, lazy and “not even good enough to procreate.”"
"Bolsonaro twice told congresswoman Maria do Rosario that she did not “deserve” to be raped by him after she called him a rapist during heated arguments in 2003 and 2014. He repeated the comments to the newspaper Zero Horas in a 2014 interview: “She is very ugly. She is not my type. I would never rape her.”"
"Last year, Bolsonaro drew criticism for a speech in which he said that after having four sons, he had a daughter “in a moment of weakness.”"
"Bolsonaro, a former army captain, has repeatedly shocked many Brazilians by praising the 1964-1985 military dictatorship."
"During the 2016 vote impeaching President Dilma Rousseff, a torture victim during the dictatorship, Bolsonaro dedicated his vote to Col. Carlos Alberto Brilhante Ustra, who led a torture unit."

Escape from failed policies that the lefties there double down on when failure occurs.
You didn't even look into this guy. Methinks you've never even read "The Big Lie" just positive reviews.

SOME people MAY live to regret their vote. Like Duterte, this fascist opportunist has declared open season on 'suspects' and opposition voices will be silenced. Just another strongman for our wannabe to fawn over.
