It's no surprise that the far right is rising in the world.
This explains the current wars, the genocide in Gaza, the persecution of immigrants in the USA, all kinds of sordid corruption, and the authoritarianism and extremism that is increasingly surrounding our world.
It's as if Hitler and Mussolini left behind a bunch of heirs.
These are dark times we live in.
Unfortunately, this fascist wave has reached Brazil.
It's very sad and frightening to know that more than half of Brazilians appreciate and identify with this nefarious ideological sect.
Unfortunately, this is the Brazil that Brazilians want.
I don't believe it's out of justice, but rather out of political revenge and pure prejudice.
The elites don't accept the rise of the poor in society.
Brazil is becoming a selfish, prejudiced, intolerant, and extremist country.
This is the new face of Brazil!!
Brazilians showed their true faces yesterday when they elected their representatives.
When you elect white supremacists, homophobes, misogynists, and TikTok bigots instead of experienced women in politics like Simone Tebet, Benedita da Silva, Manuela d'Ávila, and Marina Silva, it says a lot about who you are.
Unfortunately, this is the new portrait of Brazil.
The false conservatives and false moralists who use their white masks and political ideology to exercise their racism and prejudices to persecute and attack those who think differently from them.
They use religion and good morals as a facade to hide their real intentions and ambitions, and thus practice their corruption and crimes.
This is how they manage to deceive their fanatical and faithful followers.
This is how the banality of evil arises.
Little by little, everything is being corrupted and destroyed, including civility and morality.
This is how democracies die.
This is what will happen in Brazil if the far right wins.
Social inclusion will cease to exist in Brazil.
The poorest people in Brazil will lose their rights.
The SUS (Unified Health System), the popular pharmacy program, quotas in federal universities, the Bolsa Família program, and all public and social policies in Brazil will be eliminated.
This will be a fatal blow to the poor communities of our country.
Workers and retirees will also be harmed and have their rights violated.
They will be denialists and will deny science, climate change, and the environment.
They will not protect our forests and the Indigenous peoples and communities of Brazil.
They will be submissive and hand over all our natural resources and rare earths to Trump's corrupt and usurping government.
There will be no more human rights in Brazil.
Brazil will no longer be a democracy.
An authoritarian and extremist government that prefers to invest in weapons rather than education will never prosper.
An authoritarian and extremist government that persecutes and attacks other religions will never prosper.
An authoritarian and extremist government, prejudiced and homophobic, that attacks and persecutes those who think differently and are different, will never prosper.
An authoritarian and extremist government that burns books and is against culture will never prosper.
An authoritarian and extremist government that is denialist and against science will never prosper.
An authoritarian, extremist, and anti-democratic government that oppresses and usurps the rights of its people will never prosper.
The banality of evil is real!!!
This is the Brazil that Brazilians chose at the polls.
What remains for us is to continue fighting for those who have no voice, so that they do not lose their rights.
If these are the excluded of Brazil, then I will continue fighting for them.
Regardless of the result on October 25th, I will continue fighting for what I believe in!!!
That's why I'm here!!
To fight for a better and fairer Brazil for all Brazilians, including the most needy.
This is a battle between rationality and barbarism.
My full support to President Lula and Vice President Geraldo Alckmin.
On October 25th, my vote is 13!
For the sovereignty of our country and for the dignity of our people!!!
Alexsandro Ribeiro 🇧🇷
