Brazil

Brazil’s Bolsonaro-Led Far Right Wins a Victory Far More Sweeping and Dangerous Than Anyone Predicted. Its Lessons Are Global. -  It looks like the far right is set to take over in Brazil.

Using the lame-duck session as way to ram through unpopular agenda items is nothing new in Brazil. While the corrupt, not-so-far right work against the people.

Stripped to its essence, the Brazilian presidential elections represent a direct clash between democracy and an early 21st Century, neofascism, indeed between civilization and barbarism.


American Democracy

Senators representing less than half the U.S. are about to confirm a nominee opposed by most Americans
Kavanaugh, though, has a distinct honor: He will be the first justice nominated by someone who lost the popular vote to earn his seat on the bench with support from senators representing less than half of the country while having his nomination opposed by a majority of the country.
Sound's like normal US politics to me.
