Yes TTT I think the World, or at least the people who are most affected by the liberal policies, have woken up. As here though the policy makers who have gained power and influence by preaching the false mantra of inclusivity, whilst distancing themselves from the fallout, fail to understand. Whether purposely or because they really are short of the mental capacity required to make the deductions remains to be seen.

//Bolsonaro campaigned against the widespread corruption of Haddad’s Workers’ Party (PT), which ruled Brazil for most of the 21st century. He promised a commitment to imprison and convict politicians found guilty of corruption as well as an emphasis on individual freedom, including gun rights; less government spending on gender and sexuality studies in school; fighting the influence of nefarious foreign entities in the country, particularly communist countries like China; and bringing Brazil closer to the West generally and the United States under President Donald Trump specifically.//

Lucky Brazil. Where's ours?

// For the past two years, the country has been led by a conservative, Michel Temer, following the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. But Mr Temer has proven deeply unpopular with Brazilians.
Bolsonaro, 63-year-old is a retired army officer and member of the Social Liberal Party (PSL), an anti-establishment group that combines social conservatism and pro-market policies. //

A Social Liberal right winger. How confusing.

Bolsanaro is also a committed Christian and shares these values with a majority of Brazilians. These values have of course been repressed and belittled under decades of left wing dictatorship.

The Socialists were not in power for decades, they ruled for 13 years. It was mot a dictatorship, they were elected in free elections. They were highly corrupt, but that is a different matter.

I have very little sympathy or regard for our leaders and masters who enrich themselves

Of course You did. But you didn't say that Bliar, Meddlesome, Kinnock, or Miliband are as well.

I find that very hard to believe. All those different people doubled their money in less than 2 years.
Wouldn't care to back that statement up with something mad like a fact, I suppose, Stanley?
