Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil is one of the men who have stepped up to bristle and bar their teeth at the new sane direction the world is heading. If saying outrageous things and playing the media were enough to make things go his way he would have already won, but now he feels his hold on power slipping away. To drive his point home (his point of being the boss) he does real harm by stirring up his followers into a frenzy. He will happily damage democratic institutions beyond repair if that’s what it takes. He’s already tried to destroy the land. Bolsonaro has relished demonstrating his power over the entire world by harming everyone on it. He has satisfied his ego by destroying the Amazon, the very thing needed for the survival of the human race. He does this I suppose, because…then…he wins.
And now he has shown the depth of his madness. While caught up in some kind of diabolical frenzy, he publicly challenged God to “oust” him. He clearly has no conception of the sheer evil he has demonstrated as president of Brazil. Does he think he is waging war against the left, that he’s making a political statement? Does he think God approves of such cruelty in the name of his right-wing hubris? If Bolsonaro had any self-understanding at all, if Bolsonaro knew God at all, he never would have uttered those words.
