The ditatorship in Brazil was an indirect election system along a forced two-party-system.

There were 2 parties, the ARENA and the MDB, and the President was elected by an electoral college. This meant they gave a semblance of "democracy" and preferred the term "military government" as in practice the Armed Forces were the ones making the calls and ARENA would always elect a general as President:

Elections were rigged and there was a lot of censorship but it wasn't this blatant junta like in Chile or Argentina. The courts and Congress also worked regularly (except for the 2 years right after the coup when Congress was closed) and just backed the government.

I think that if the United States ever becomes a dictatorship it would be something like that, both political parties will continue to exist but everything will be rigged in favor of one. Civil service will just co-operate, but the biggest factor again is a politicized armed forces.

The Paraguayan upper classes stopped marrying during Francia and simply had out of wedlock criollo children. Then they married immigrant groups (Italians, Spanish, Germans) who arrived after. Just like Chile.

Most Chileans are mestizos and will simply identify as Chilean, then there's a 12% of the population which identifies as indigenous, most of them are Mapuches and then there are some Aymara and other minor ethnicities in the north.

The Mapuche activists and leftoids wrote a Constitutional Proposal where Chile would become "Plurinational", meaning the Mapuches would get special reserved seats at congress and have a separate judiciary, and autonomy on indigenous lands, this disgusted pretty much everyone outside leftoids and when the referendum day came the Mapuche majority towns in the South voted against the proposal with the "reject" option reaching 70-75%. The Indians are chilenos, they feel that way and just want more state attention for their communities, not some woke Apartheid shit where those indegenist "activists" would effectively become their leaders.
