Led by Congressman Hélio Lopes, Bolsonaro supporters are camping outside the Supreme Court. Afraid of making coup-mongering speeches, as they did last time, they are now dancing in a circle and crying for Bolsonaro not to be arrested.
Hélio Fernando Barbosa Lopes (Rio de Janeiro, March 28, 1969), also known as Hélio Negão (literally: big black Hélio) and Hélio Bolsonaro, is a Brazilian politician and former military officer.
He is also president of “PL Integration”, a group within the Liberal Party that seeks to “give a voice to right-wing blacks”. He became known during Jair Bolsonaro’s administration for being a constant presence at the president’s side on official trips abroad. As a member of parliament, he demonstrated his opposition to the black movement and to initiatives for historical reparations for slavery, arguing that affirmative action should be based on social, not racial, criteria. He also said that black people can’t be “hostages of the left”, Hélio became known on social media as “Bolsonaro’s black man”.
So pathetic. I have relatives in Latin America (won’t be more specific for op sec reasons), but I can’t even say anything because they’ll say “you don’t know, you grew up in the US, you don’t know how bad communism has been in South America” (and they’ll call evens liberals communists). It’s hard to fight back against that because there’s nothing I can say to prove right-wing candidates have done way more damage, I can’t reference history, news, anything.
I’ve also seen that same argument used by people in Eastern Europe actually to say you don’t know how bad communism was there, so all your statistics and facts and figures mean nothing, you weren’t from there. Therefore, everything to the left is bad, and no further words can be exchanged.
I just woke up and I mixed up the words, i fixed it now lol
