No the best case scenario is that Lucas is uneducated and ignorant to endorse that man. The worst case scenario is he is educated on the issues and still agrees with Bolsonaro that daughters are conceived “in a moment of weakness” or that gay people can have their gayness beaten out of them or that the military dictatorship didn’t kill enough people. I really hope tht isn’t the case as if he believes any of those things I’d find it hard to support him, I hope Lucas is just uneducated.
What about a scenario in which Lucas isn't as ignorant and uneducated as you think he would have to be to endorse such a man, but he feels he would actually tackle on some issues he feels are seriously important for his country.
Look, I'm Guatemalan, we have had our history with military dictatorships so I know very well where you're coming from. What I don't know very well is how violent the situation in Brazil actually is and why some of it's citzens may consider such drastic meassures to fight it.
Are you saying a presidents social beliefs have no impact on a country’s social policy? He’s openly said there’s “no doubt” he’ll start a military dictatorship if he becomes president. If people don’t want these things don’t vote for them, if they do you can only assume they aren’t too opposed to them.
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm actually suggesting is that perhaps social policy isn't an actual priority for Brazil right now. I'm also suggesting that, in these times, Brazilian people probably wouldn't let any politician get away with becoming a fascist tyrant. I could definitely be wrong about both things though!
