The Intercept has posted quotes that Brazil's new President, and fascist, Jair Balsonaro.
Here are some of them:
- “I am in favor of a dictatorship, a regime of exception.”
- Interviewer: If you were the president of the Republic today, would you close the National Congress?
“There’s no doubt about it. I’d do a coup on the same day! It [the Congress] doesn’t work! And I’m sure at least 90 percent of the population would throw a party, would applaud, because it does not work. Congress today is good for nothing, brother, it just votes for what the president wants. If he is the person who decides, who rules, who trumps the Congress, then let’s have a coup quickly, go straight to a dictatorship.”
- “The pau-de-arara [a torture technique] works. I’m in favor of torture, you know that. And the people are in favor as well.”
- To a women congressman: “I’m a rapist now. I would never rape you, because you do not deserve it … slut!”
- “I would be incapable of loving a homosexual child. I’m not going to act like a hypocrite here: I’d rather have my son die in an accident than show up with some mustachioed guy. For me, he would have died. … “If your son starts acting a little gay, hit him with some leather, and he’ll change his behavior.”
- “The big problem in Brazil is that the government is at the jugular of businessmen. … The worker will have to decide: less rights and employment or all the rights and unemployment.”
- “I’ll give carte blanche for the police to kill.”
So of course, the President of the United States would hate such rhetoric? Not if the President is Donald Trump:
But Donald Trump hates fascism, and is not a fascist. In my last blog I posted someone's tweet:
Fuck..........
