Also, his campaign was positively affected by fake news. Many bots were used to spread fake news in closed whatsapp groups.

In other words, he brainwashed people by creating an atmosphere of fear, in which he was the only one able to save them from it.

Edit: it got so bad that people started to question the accuracy and safety of the electronic voting chamber, the most secure voting system in the world :huntyga:

bc the right is rising everywhere following Trump’s election.

Mostly in south america! Also, OP is shining a light on all those negative stuff for minorities. Most brazilians where tired of the current part PT so they also sided with Bolsonaro plus favela residents were persuaded that their drug and violence problems would be over if they voted for him.

The (alt/ far) right movement has been gaining traction post-GFC of 2008, though Trump's election certainly gave the Alt/ Far-Right a sense of legitimacy and has made it more obvious that we are seeing the rise of right-wing Facist groups.

Guys, I'm genuinely scared and sick to my stomach.

As a lesbian girl who dreams of finding the perfect girl, marrying her and adopting kids together, I'm truly terrified he might try to take that away. 

(There's a loophole in the Law that allows a gay couple to adopt a child, because they don't specify that the two people adopting have to be male and female. As long as they're married, it's all good. If he revokes the "Stable Union" for homossexual couples, or decides to cover up that loophole... :giveup:)

Guys, I'm calm right now because we never been that united and strong, the community is organizing itself, and in the next elections I think we can win. But we will have to fight, he wants to make easy access to guns, reduce the age for someone to go to prision and he wants to give the cops right to kill without any investigation. We're dammed to live in 4 years of the darkest times since the millitary coup and pray that we don't pass through another one. Here in my city there was a fb post mobilizing a gay extermination group, there are some treatening messages on grindr and reports of groups of supporters of the president at the clubs. And we're not the only minority suffering, I have an iterracial couple as friends and yesterday, even before the election, there was supporters that was hostilizing them just outside their own house. But I'm not scared, I'm more strong and feeling supported than ever. Love will always win.

Para os brasileiros, gente, tomem cuidado com os encontros marcados por esses apps de pegação. Sempre peguem contato dos caras e sempre tente adicionar eles nas redes, verifique bem se não são fakes. Eu sei que muitos de nós sempre fizemos isso, mas é importantíssimo dobrarmos a atenção. Criem grupos de comunicação de lgbts eu já estou em um. Adicionem também seus amigos negros, praticantes de umbanda e outras religiões africanas que sabemos que são perseguidas. Não temos tempo para medo, nem desespero, só temos tempo para organização, para a luta. LUTO É VERBO. Entrem para a resistência.
 

In love with chaos depressed by fate.

Tbh, this world still has underlying homophobia and bigotry even when they preach acceptance. Just look at our own gay community. "no sissy, manly only, straight acting only, no slim, no fat, no asians, asians only, no blacks, no latinos, prefer white men, prefer fit muscular goodlooking etc.". Sure, maybe you'll be attracted to only certain skin colors or certain body physiqyues, but it doesn't explain why a predominant group of people prefer white guys, that kinda shows that we are all programmed to think that white people are more superior therefore thinking other races are inferior which means race discrimination.

So we've seen great progress in this decade in terms of conversation and more effort towards acceptance but it will always attract strong opposition because deep rooted bigotry still lives in us. We are only beginning the fight so people like Trump, Bolsonaro & Duterte will appear and give power to bigotry. We may or may not see the kind of acceptance we are fighting for just as the suffragettes in the 1910s may not see women's rights at the state it is today. We just hope that the next generation will grow up in a more accepting society and the seeds of hatred may one day be weeded out.

I’m not very informed on him but I read he wants to ‘develop’ more into the Amazon rainforest. 

This is a NIGHTMARE for biodiversity and the world.
