What can you even make of this kind of nonsense..?

They suffered under a military dictatorship for 26 years and became a re-emerging, problem riddled "democracy," based on free speech and the marketplace of ideas, and the best they can give us is an economy that continues to struggle and a judicial system that will put you in jail for having already very unpopular ideas... and where these ideas may be popular at all, they have become illegal to manufacture the people to be a reflection of what the government wants of them ideologically.

It is its own form of totalitarianism...

Can we even call it "soft" totalitarianism anymore? Is it "soft" totalitarianism when you get put into a stinking third world jail cell for calling someone a slang term for a homosexual?

If you are going to illegalize ideologies, which I never recommend, why illegalize the most sensible and traditional ones..? If you're going to be totalitarian, at least have values that are laudable.

Brazil needs #Bolsonaro, that's for sure.
