Bolsonaro’s Popularity Crumbles as Covid-19 Crisis Rages


Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s approval rating cratered amid a surging death toll from the coronavirus and confusion over a national vaccination plan.

6. He is a monster.

7. Like Dr. King pointed out, History tilts toward Justice.

And greater freedom (responsible freedom). People like Trump and the Brazilian idiot, Putin and Orban in Hungary pop up, but in the long arc of history, they prove to be nothing but momentary impediments.

8. exactly

what's that slogan, No justice no peace!
