Is this guy the George Wallace of Brazil?

this is the stabbing suspect

Figures

Also didn't he have some extreme positions?

Like every one should get a gun

?

Normally I would agree with that but in Brazil....

the only reasonable counterbalance really

the gangs can find firearms if they wish

He's a harsh anti-crime candidate. So harsh that the blacks are forgiving his opposition to gay marriage, affirmative action, etc. amid Brazil's current massive crimewave.

@FLanon this is grim and cynical, but if he dies - it'll be a useful experiment to see what happens to a country's political landscape when a populist fringe candidate gets killed. Will it help his side? Will it hurt it?

It will simply outright kill the movement

We've seen this play out before

Yep.

George Lincoln Rockwell for instance

He’s the figurehead of the whole deal

No.

Bolsonaro is WAY bigger than Rockwell.

maybe that's a bit extreme, but you get it somewhat right

Universal firearm ownership is really the only method of combating gang crime with a largely corrupt and underfunded police apparatus.

He's already been the most popular politician in the Rio de Janeiro multi-member constituency.

You cut off the head of the snake, it dies unless the establishment is fit to see you win

In which case you're lionized

He's more like that guy before Geert Wilders, who was way more popular.

According to a nurse in the hospital Bolsonaro will likely live.

@FLanon George Lincoln Rockswell wasn't going to get as big of a share of the vote as Bolsonaro would though

this would be akin to someone assassinating Trump in 2016

what would have happened in that scenario ? Well, we might find out

if we study Brazil if Bolsonaro dies

Pim Fortuyn

Bolsonaro is evidence that even if America accelerates unto decline, there still is a chance of a renewal.

That's right, Pim Fortuyn

if he dies, the results will test the black pill

much better example

I also noticed that we banned RightWingFish

he has a different name now

@GermanEastAfrica didn't I unban him ?

oh

I renamed him to 'Deadass Zoomer'
