On his Twitter account -- his preferred communication channel along with his Facebook page -- the former paratrooper has announced he will issue a decree immediately easing gun laws, and will work to "fight the Marxist trash" he believes is being taught in classrooms.
Forging on, Bolsonaro on Monday tweeted that he was going to direct the education ministry to "fight the Marxist trash that has been installed in teaching institutions" and lift Brazil's poor educational standards.
He and members of his incoming government, notably his new foreign minister, Ernesto Araujo, use the word "Marxist" to refer to the Workers Party and other left-wing groups.
Nearly a third of the 22 ministerial posts have gone to ex-military men, while the economy has been handed to a US-trained free-market advocate, Paulo Guedes, and justice to a star anti-corruption judge, Sergio Moro.
I really like the 75% approval rating. It's so impressive when the left is defeated decisively. Brazil has several right wing parties, so there is no danger of a one party state.

You sure you want to hold up the country that's about to just start murdering their political opponents as a prime example of conservatism because
For starters, your premise is an exaggeration or worse. Once people see Brazil become an economic powerhouse and an enjoyable and safe place to be, the Brazilian right will become a historic success story.
You're the one who posted the thread about them summarily executing people "with rifles."

It's a stretch to define gangs/drug cartels with rifles as "political opponents".
According to what I've read, violent crime in Brazil is un-be-liev-a-ble.

If President Bolsonaro's policies can reduce that crime, the Brazilian people will applaud him.
We should mind our own business and concentrate on reducing violent crime here in the States.

You understand we are talking literal fascism here right
Let's not quibble over words such as "fascism."
After all, those ANTIFA thugs also claim to be fighting "fascism."
If a hoodlum in Brazil pulls a gun on you, and you can "terminate" him before he (or she!) terminates you or your family, why is that "fascism"?
It's just good old self-defense.
Yep even in other countries if right-wing fascism are sticking it to the left, the American right wing cheers.
The conservatives in the US are dangerous people.
:lamo
You mean as successful as it has been in the past?

Honestly, depending on one's views/interpretation, the Brazilian right historically has been successful. I think SDET sees them as a success.
That depends on your measure of success and how much you sacrifice to achieve it.

I have been to Brasil.
I have friends in and from Brasil.
Brasil is the political poster child for corrupt politics.
Been that way for decades.
Not going to change - it never does.
Nope. Not happening.This time is different. There is a cultural change that sees the damage done by the "jeitinho Brasileiro" and "coitadismo".
