Guys, please please please keep Brazil in your prayers and keep an eye on us.
Today we had the elections and the candidate who’s winning is extremely sexist, homophobic, white supremacist that supports dictatorships and that everything should be solved with guns (he’s also a former member of military).
He has said that women aren’t fit to work bc they can get pregnant, that the reason he had a female child was because he was “weak” when making the baby, that “gayness” is a product of parents not beating their children enough, that the biggest mistake of the horrible dictatorship our country lived in the 60’s was torturing instead of killing, etc.
So far, his hateful speeches have sparked a massive hateful following of people who idolize him and there have been numerous cases of these people doing terrible things in his name. For instance, groups of people chanting on the streets that he will kill gays (a slur was used), people taking pictures using guns in the voting cabin, hacking a fb group of women against this man, his supporters shot and killed a dog for “disrupting” their event and more.
The mainly white male following has spread inummerous fake news about other candidates and are convinced that nazism was a leftist movement and use this info to demonize the main contender, who’s a leftist. This caused the german embassy to release a statement informing them that it was (obviously) actually a right wing movement. Not surprisingly, as radical right wingers, they do not believe it. That, coupled with his VP talk of “race whitening” doesn’t shock anyone here.
The elections will soon be over and he’s winning with a 20% gap. I am completely desolate. I don’t know what to do, how life’s gonna be for me and my friends. I’ve never been more scared in my life. My country is recognized all over the world for its freedom, but we’re about to enter very very dark times.
Please, don’t forget us.
He has now won the election.
Yesterday a black boy my age was killed in a protest and today people are celebrating this “win” setting fireworks on the streets.
We will resist, as always. But we need your help.
