Bolsonaro’s Post-op
Editorial cartoon for Diário de Notícias, 9 Sep 2018. The front runner in the upcoming Brazilian presidential election Jair Bolsonaro is stabbed in the torso during a rally. Perpetrated by a man with ties to left wing organizations, fueling an already contentious and divise campaign, the attack is expected to backfire and boost Bolsonaro’s popularity. A neo-fascist ideologue, the candidate’s opinions include: Brazil’s military dictatorship was a very good period in the country’s history; Women should earn less because sometimes they get pregnant and don’t work; replying to a female political opponent that calls him a rapist, “I don’t rape you because you don’t even deserve it”; “I would never love a gay son, I’d rather see him dead in a car crash”; “Pinochet should have killed more people”; asked about what he would do if one of his sons dated a black woman, he replied that it would never happen because his children are properly educated and are not promiscuous.
