Brazil's Donald Trump

Why Brazilian women are saying #NotHim

>> Several million women in Brazil have declared an online war against the front-running presidential candidate, the far-right Jair Bolsonaro, ahead of the first round of elections due to take place on 7 October.

Mr Bolsonaro, who is currently recovering in hospital after being stabbed during a political rally on 6 September, is known for making offensive, off-the-cuff remarks about women, black people and sexual minorities.

Since his stabbing - by an apparently mentally ill man opposed to his political views - he has risen to 28% in opinion polls and is seen as the most likely candidate to dispute a run-off on 28 October.

.... But in the past week, various female celebrities have joined an effort to counteract his rise in the polls, taking to their social media accounts to post using the hashtag #EleNão (#NotHim).

The tag had been mentioned nearly 200,000 times in total on Instagram alone by Thursday morning. On Twitter, #EleNao had more than 193,000 mentions between Friday, 14 September and Sunday, according to monitoring by researchers at FGV university. Additionally, there were 152k tweets with the hashtag #EleNunca (#NeverHim).

The list of women posting against the far-right candidate includes prominent actresses, journalists and TV presenters. "#EleNao is not just about politics. It is about morals," actress Deborah Secco tweeted to her 3.4m followers.


The controversial politician is appealing against a fine handed to him for telling Congresswoman Maria do Rosario, from the left-wing Workers Party: "I wouldn't rape you because you don't deserve it."

... Mr Bolsonaro also caused uproar while talking about his own daughter during a public event in April 2017. "I have five children. I had four boys, and in the fifth, I weakened and a girl came," he said at the time.

... He has said the "mistake" of Brazil's military dictatorship (1964-1985) was "to torture, not kill" left-wing activists and promised to stop funding human rights organisations "because human rights are a disservice to Brazil".

Last week in this 'online war', a closed Facebook group for women against the candidate, which had grown to more than 2m followers since its creation on 30 August, was hacked. Its name, "Women United Against Bolsonaro", was changed to "Women WithBolsonaro" - prompting the candidate to thank the group on his Twitter account, apparently mistaking the hacked page for a genuine one.

The page has since been restored to its rightful administrators. << -- The Beeb

Trump of the tropics: the 'dangerous' candidate leading Brazil's presidential race

Awesome! I wish him luck! I followed him on FB last night...love the people call him Legend...that's just awesome.

Yes, just what a developing country needs, so fucker who's more interested in his own career.

You'd be better off looking at Britain's "Trump". Boris "me, me, me" Johnson, who decided to go with Brexit at the last minute because he saw the chance to take down Cameron, thereby opening the PMship to a certain BJ guy. Then he didn't get it, instead some witch got in. Then he's quit her cabinet because he thought quitting would take her town and open the PMship to a certain BJ guy.

He's taking down his own party, destroying his party's own government, not for the interests of the country, but for a guy who's initials basically spell out a blow job.

He is EXACTLY what Brazil needs and so far looks like Brazilians agree. He's leading the polls.

>> polls showed support for Bolsonaro had plateaued at about 18%, indicating many voters considered him “crazy and dangerous”. <<​

That's from your own link.

Jair Bolsonaro got a lot more than 18% he got 46.1% and narrowly missed winning outright, so it goes to a run off on October 28 and he only needs 3.9% to get to the 50%, he is going to be the next President of Brasil and that's it. His nearest competitor the Leftist Fernando Haddad at 29.1 and look who Haddad's running mate is Manuela d'Avila of the COMMUNIST PARTY of Brasil.

So what? Haddad had been campaigning only for a few weeks.

Bolsinaro is an asshole fascist bigot, period. If he gets in the result will be polarization and strife. And by the way 29% is a considerable jump from where Haddad was.

Brasil is ALREADY in strife, they are literally on the edge of economic disaster thanks to years of Socialism and Corruption. The Anti-Bolsonaro Crowd are going to run this October 28 vote as Democracy vs Fascism, the problem in Brasil is that a majority of Brasilians think Democracy has only brought them Chaos and Corruption.

Fernando Haddad a Leftist running with a COMMUNIST, he builds a Coalition to go into the October 28 run off how exactly? He has to now reposition himself as some type of Centrist Moderate, he does that HOW when he's running with a COMMUNIST.

The situation as I already mention is that Jair Bolsonaro only has to get 3.9% more in the October 28 run off and he gets that as I illustrated with the voters from the New Party 2.5%, Patriota 1.3% and Christian Democracy 0.1% added to his 46.1% that gets him 50% and he wins.

Even IF Fernando Haddad got ALL the voters from EVERYONE else he would still lose.

As Jair Bolsonaro posted last night to his Facebook page: Brasil is on the edge of a corrupt Communist abyss and the voters can take one of two paths, Bolsonaro's path of prosperity, freedom, family and Godliness or Haddad's path of Venezuela.

I'm afraid "communist" isn't the booga-booga word in Brasil, or most of earth, that Joe McCarthy and his fellow trollers sold to a gullible US public, so that's a non-starter. And he's got nothing to do with "Venezuela", the comparison being absurd. True, Haddad is associated with a party that is widely blamed for Brasil's problems, which is to his detriment, and the electorate is fatigued with them, but the reality is he's also the strongest alternative to Bolsinaro, so what would tip the election in his favour, if it does, is simply the act of blocking Bolsinaro. In other words voters will be forced to hold their nose and vote for the lesser of "two evils".

Haddad is a pretty smart and capable guy though, so "two evils" is mainly a perception of association with the Worker's Party. Less than a month ago he was under ten percent, only because he had just joined the race. But with the alternative being Bolsonaro it's like being given a choice of Gerald Ford or Adolf Hitler.

Bolsonaro is a crude, self-serving, manipulative egomaniac whose values are in the gutter and who is utterly lacking in the essential personal trait any leader must possess, which is Empathy. His election will try to tear Brasil apart. And he'll do that intentionally because he's too full of himself to know better.
