“If one of us, a civilian or a soldier, is attacked... and if he fires 20 times at the assailant, he should be decorated and not have to go to court,” the far-right candidate told a campaign meeting in the northern Rio neighborhood of Madureira in August.
(oops meant to have that in there, too)
“the far-right candidate told a campaign meeting”
*cough*
My handy-dandy Newspeak media translation guide for political ideology labels:
Media labels vs. Reality:
Socialist = Stalinist
Liberal = Marxist
Moderate = Socialist
Conservative = Liberal
Far-Right = Moderate
Ultraright/Racist/Bigot = Conservative Mainstream
So Bolsonaro is a Moderate.
