Fernando Brito: We must stop the destroyer of the homeland.

By Fernando Brito, from brick - Don't complain that Jair Bolsonaro is hiding his dictatorial and subservient intentions (and worse, his actions) towards our country.

Yesterday, he reiterated his suggestion that left-wing opponents of his government "go to Venezuela," a country he only doesn't support military invasion of because of "our limitations," meaning the Constitution. At least for now, of course.

He repeated what his son had already done and defended the construction of Trump's infamous wall against Latin Americans, which doesn't even have support within the US and which they want to impose by force.

He said that most potential immigrants to the US – and he didn't exclude Brazilians – are ill-intentioned and don't have the best interests of Americans at heart.

He did everything that, in other times, "stateless communists" were accused of doing, putting the country's interests at the service of an ideology transplanted here and ahead of his commercial interests.

He proudly displays his closeness to right-wing fanatics, publicly humiliating his vice president. Who, incidentally, was almost replaced by the president's son in his duties at the Presidential Palace.

Bolsonaro is treading a path that demands not only resistance from us, but also clarity of thought.

He no longer unites the right wing, conservatives, and the middle-class segments that he did at the end of his campaign.

It is up to us to work for this unity and to block, as far as possible, the destructive mission that Brazil itself assumed yesterday, when it said that it is necessary to "deconstruct many things".

And the first of these, it seems, is national dignity.
