    A day to celebrate! Bolsonaro is a mediocre politician whose insignificant contribution could earn him a rightful reputation as Brazil’s worst president. His disastrous tenure served no purpose other than cloning a Trump-like management and paving the way for his reelection. He has made Brazilian society even more divisive, intolerant and hateful. His infamous contributions include:

    • Discrediting vaccination (COVID -19 especially).
    • Promoting intolerance towards LGBTQ+.
    • Encouraging everyone to own guns.
    • Closing incentives for arts and culture.
    • Promoting deforestation of a large part of the Amazon jungle.
    • Ignoring the pleas of Indians for food and medical assistance.
    • Undermining the credibility of the electoral system.
    • Neglecting Brazil’s diplomatic relations.
    • Poisoning relations with the press.
    • Attempting a coup d’état to overthrow President-elect Lula.

    These are just a few highlights of a long list of misdeeds that define him as an unsympathetic jerk. I know that may sound like a lot, but as you get to know this character, you will probably be tempted to add some additional notes to the above list.-
