Bolsonaro, Putin, and Trump: Three Peas In A Dying Pod

BOLSONARO, like Putin and Trump, is a two bit con man criminal who made it big thanks to the darker side of his country's culture. All three have one paramount quality in commom; ther compete lack of interest in anytig except their personal aggradandizement, wealth, success, goof fortune and so forth. But the Argentine strongman was not quite strong enough, got voted out like Trump, and evidently thought better of any plan to use violence from a mob of supporters to overturn the election, overthrow his nation's government, and remain in power, as Trump notoriously tried. Instead, he left the country, to avoid probable criminal prosecution for any and all of the many corrupt bargains Bolsonaro made while in office, including the one wherein he took payments from the cattle industry in return for allowing cattle companies to continue to destroy the Amazon rain foreest replacing it with pasture land for grazing. In this matter, perhaps it is Trump who should take a page from Bolsonaro's playbook, and leave the country before it gets too hot, legally, if not climatically. Stay tuned. Obviously Putin remains the big problem among the three, though one cannot count the other two out. both might run for election in the future, and win. As we all know, far stranger things have happened. to all the people of russia, to the beautiful citizens of Russia, this website implores you; please, in the name of sanity and human survival, replace Putin before its too laten and before the powers that be block this website. This website hereby declares its full support for the removal from power of Vladimir Putin, by whetever means may be necessary. Bolsomaro, meanwhile, like Trump, lacked the dignity and decency to attend the inauguration of his replacement, and instead thought it prudent to flee from justice, which Trump may eventually be tempted to do. Perhaps Bolsomaro is hoping that Trump will return to power, then facilitate his own return to power in Argentina, by force, if necessary. Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Boris Johnson, Modi, Netanyahu, all right wing demagoues, all have an essemtially similar strategy for gaining and remaining in power. It is a page taken directly from the playbook of Hitler and Mussolini. Convince through lies and false history narratives that the nation is in great peril, that it was once great but has lost its greatness because of enemies within, liberals, teh media, Jews - any old enemy will do nicely - then, after getting voted in, continue to harp and rage against the enemies, unifying the angry, aggressive support base. For the sake of the future of western civilization, let us hope that this current wave of far right wing populism soon blows over and fades into the dust bin of history, but with less fanfare, violence, and destruction wrought by the last far right movement, the one which included Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco.
