The rise of Jair Bolsonaro to power is only thanks to the corrupt and incompetent politics of those who ruled Brazil before him. I talk about the far-left Partido dos Trabalhadores or PT- Workers’ Party.
That same party ran Brazil for like 15 years and is part of the biggest corruption scandal in Brazil’s history. That same Worker’s Party lead Brazil to it’s hardest economic recession since the 1930s. Murder rates, crime rates and narco violence and drug trade exploded and only in the last year more than 67 000 have been killed. Cities like Rio, Vitoria, Salvador and many others are one of the most dangerous places on Earth.
Those are only some of the reasons why Brazilians who want change and security voted for that guy who is a controversial figure but still much better than voting for a Commie and continue the vicious circle.
The thing is that in the last years Brazil which is a traditionally Catholic country is seeing rise in the number of Evangelical Christianity. Nowadays more than a third of all people are Evangelicals and they are all hardcore pro-Israel. That same people voted for Bolsonaro too. If I remember he is an Evangelist too so you can understand why he wants to move their embassy to Jerusalem.
Pretty surprising how Evangelical christianity is growing in a deep catholic country.
