The conservatives do connect ideologically, like the communists of old. So ideas get copied a lot
Also, since Trump did win, people figure that works, let's do that.
Libre Institute playbook. Koch-funded propaganda outlet for Latin America...
It's a unified global move to promote Conservative philosophy just as the Allies championed Democracy after WW2. CPAC is an international organization. No election is local any longer.Every election moves the dial for the world's population.
!macacos !latinx come check the"white-saviors". They unironically believe some think tanks no one even heard of has an impact.
When are they going to learn that MONEY HAS NO IMPACT IN POLITICS ANYMORE!!!
So many dem candidates lost despite outspending repubs. In Brazil Henrique Meirelles blew 100 million R$ on campaign just to get 1% of the votes while Bolsonaro won after spending like half a million R$. In the age of social media noise is enough to get you elected.
Not just ideologically, but also socially and financially. US right-wingers pour a lot of money into fellow organizations all across the Western world. Like anti-abortion movements and similar culture war shit
Is Brazil part of the West?
Brazil, nothing new to see here, what do you expect in a deeply racist, conservative, and misogynist country lihe the US? Brazil looks a joyful and open country in the surface, but beneath the reality is ugly, it is just a brutal uncivilized and corrupt, where religious fundamentalist have to much power as in the US.
TIL that southern Brazil is heavily Bolsonarista. I would have thought most Bolsonaristas came from like the "inland" region (north? west?)
Ha! No, southern Brazil is like Texas. They even wanted to secede in the past.
Burgers leftoids learn LATAM uneducated and ignorant poorcels are the core voters of our left-wing parties.
Also, the South is not comparable to Texas, that would be Goias or Mato Grosso do Sul. The Brazilian South is more similar to the Mid-West (soybeans, corn, kraut and slavic descendants). Also people here are quite socially liberal in the cities, Rio Grande do Sul is a famous target of gay jokes, but people here can't stand economic leftism, they're very economically right-wing.

!bookworms, of all the stupid discourse to come out of journ*lism, politics, and academia, "If every single public school library in the country doesn't carry a book, that means it's banned" may be the stupidest. These books are not illegal. You will not be arrested for buying, selling, or possessing them. Book stores, both physical and online, carry them. Heck, you can go to a public library that isn't part of a grade school and check them out, free of charge. You can even give them to your child, if you so desire. But these brain-dead !r-slurs act like it's "literally 1984", a book they have never and will never read, while they complain about the "banning" of other books they have never and will never read.
Meanwhile, if you asked them if bookstores should be able to carry the original, unabridged versions of books like Revolutionäre Kriegswissenschaft, La Salute è in voi, and their various spiritual successors, they'd say "no" in a heartbeat. Probably bring up some philosophers they have never and will never read to justify it.

You try getting around as a 600 lb redditor for a day and see how easy it is to touch grass.
