Latin American politics has been corrupt and ineffective for a couple of centuries. Unfortunately, Latin American nations inherited the political traditions of Spain and Portugal, two of the most corrupt and backward nations in European history. Add to that continual US interference in Latin American politics and an oligarchical political hierarchy, and you have modern governments that are still struggling to become true democracies.

Meh, another right wing Brazilian government. It will be around for a few years, completely phuck things up and then the leftists will take over, and they in turn will also phuck things up.

I guess that a Trump-like President will allow the Brazilian police to go back to murdering poor street urchins.
