BRASILIA — In a big, multiethnic country built by immigrants and slaves, a septuagenarian white male leader is riding a right-wing backlash after an era of leftist rule. His much-younger spouse is a former model. His five-letter last name starts with a “T” — but it’s Temer, not Trump.

Brazilian President Michel Temer took office five months ago after the impeachment and political humiliation of the country’s first female political leader, Dilma Rousseff, ousting her left-wing Workers’ Party after 14 years in power. Temer named an all-male cabinet and quickly embraced a right-leaning, regulation-slashing agenda.

Temer, 76, is not a Brazilian version of Trump. He does not have a populist touch or a showman’s flair. He is a career politician and government insider at a time when both things are deeply unpopular in Brazil.

Brazil's had dictators like him, before. They flirt with democracy from time to time, then return to their default setting of rule by thuggery.

Caucasion Christains build great countries, no one else does it better.
That's gotta tell you something.

Gotta keep Caucasion Christans as the anchor in these countries so there are countries available to take in and look after all these useless losers from other failed countries.
