Bolsonária - The alternative republic of braggarts

Bolsonaro is a federal deputy elected from Rio de Janeiro, one of the most violent cities in the world. And what project has he presented to combat crime in the city that elected him? Just a few days ago, the Rocinha favela was the scene of a war-like situation, and I didn't hear him comment on it.

No! I am not writing a trilogy about Congressman Jair Bolsonaro. I only want to show, through my opinion as an ordinary citizen, that with a minimum of logical reasoning, it is possible to deconstruct and blow up – in the same way that the aforementioned congressman once planned to blow up some military barracks as a form of protest against the lack of salary readjustment for his category – the ideological bluster of the biggest fraud that has ever ventured into national politics.

Are you curious to know how the honorable deputy, a defender of order and good morals, could have been capable of such an act of subversion and terrorism? Read the article at this link: https://jornalggn.com.br/noticia/a-historia-esquecida-do-capitao-bolsonaro Or research the subject further on the internet. I don't intend to dismantle the fairy tale contained in the imagination of the myth's followers, like a bitter adult deciding to reveal to children that Santa Claus doesn't exist. I would simply like to invite them to reflect on the hypocrisy they support and have adopted for themselves. Some out of naiveté, others out of identification.

I've been thinking about this, to myself. Bolsonaro has already taken to the podium in the Chamber of Deputies to call President Dilma a terrorist, and within the same chamber – during the impeachment vote session of the same president – ​​he praised the memory of General Ustra, whom he referred to, with all the civic and patriotic pride that is peculiar to him, as "Dilma Rousseff's terror." Nothing bad, or nothing more contradictory coming from an officer (Captain) of the Brazilian Army, who wanted to detonate bombs in some units of the institution he should honor and defend. 

I'm neither a psychologist nor a psychiatrist, but I'd like to hear the opinion of some experts in the field. Wouldn't this explosive congressman fit a typical case of psychopathy? He shows no remorse or regret for the mess he planned to make, which could have fatally injured many people. Furthermore, he still positions himself as a herald of morality, dignity, and righteousness, condemning in others attitudes he himself often displays. Ill intent or pathology? It's important to know. 

Another thing that strikes me about the congressman's speech is his "simple and objective solutions" to issues that are admittedly complex to resolve. For example, the proposal to arm law-abiding citizens so that they can defend themselves against criminals could be interpreted as an inability to fight crime. Could he be saying: since I don't have an effective crime-fighting plan or I don't have the guts to confront the criminals, I ideologically transfer the responsibility of taking down these thugs to my sect? 

Bolsonaro is a federal deputy elected from Rio de Janeiro, one of the most violent cities in the world. And what project has he presented to combat crime in the city that elected him? Just a few days ago, the Rocinha favela was the scene of a war zone, and I didn't hear him comment on it. Incidentally, in 30 years (his time in public life) he hasn't presented anything worthwhile, and his notoriety stems solely from the nonsense he spouts. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to start by fixing his own house and thus demonstrate to others how it's done? 

Why did Bolsonaro never want to run for governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro? Disinterest, disdain for the position, or incompetence? Find out. Why aspire to the presidency of the republic so quickly? Didn't he learn in his (short) military career that there is a hierarchy to be obeyed? A sergeant cannot be promoted to general without first having been a lieutenant. It wouldn't fit the meritocratic discourse he so often preaches. I even think Bolsonaro would be the solution for Rio de Janeiro. Because if he couldn't solve the city's problems, he would spread bombs throughout it and end it all quickly. Perhaps that's even his secret plan to solve the country's problems if he is elected president. 

In reality, Bolsonaro is a coward who uses military tactics to impose himself and try to intimidate his adversaries. These tactics have been successfully and skillfully assimilated by his followers. The problem is that they haven't been able to impose themselves or intimidate anyone. The pressure of a Coca-Cola bottle only lasts until the cap is opened. After that, its fizz evaporates. The concept of terrorism for Bolsonaro and some of his followers is formed based on their own convenience. When ideological banditry pleases them, they embrace the cause.

When Bolsonaro wanted to commit the crime of blowing up military units, he was a hero fighting for the rights and dignity of his class. But when workers take to the streets to protest, he calls them leftist bums and subversives and encourages the police to "beat the crap out of" the "gang." Oh! Go lick soap and stop bothering us with this bellicose rhetoric of fifth-rate gunmen. Demand independence from Brazil and create Bolsonária. The republic of braggarts. Preferably outside the solar system. They shall not pass! It's best to give up now! 

A society in the right is increasingly falling apart.
