Brazil elects a Fascist President but then he is not an anomaly.

Possibly not since the end of World War 2 has a major country elected a fascist to its highest office.

But that is no longer true  far-right, pro-gun, pro-torture populist has been elected as Brazil’s next president after a drama-filled and deeply divisive election that looks set to radically reforge the future of the world’s fourth biggest democracy.

Jair Bolsonaro, a 63-year-old former paratrooper who built his campaign around pledges to crush corruption, crime and a supposed communist threat, secured 55.1% of the votes after 99.9% were counted and was therefore elected Brazil’s next president, electoral authorities said on Sunday.

According to Wikipedia 

Bolsonaro is viewed as a pro-life,anti-establishment and pro-gun politician, voicing opposition to most forms of gun controllegislations, arguing that law abiding citizens have the right to defend themselves (especially those living in rural areas).^[70] Bolsonaro often rejects accusations made against him of misogyny and homophobia, and claims he is not a "far-right" politician, but simply a right-wing one.
Jair Bolsonaro is known for his strong opposition to left-wing policies. Most notably, he has been a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage, abortion affirmative action (particularly racial quotas), immigration (particularly from Haiti, Africa and the Middle East, which he once called "the scum of humanity"),drug liberalization,land reforms, and secularism at the state level,^[7] among other things. He has also made statements in defense of the Brazilian military regime^](a dictatorship known for constant human rights violations and the CIA-backed state terror campaign against left-wing dissidents known as Operation Condor).He claims that torture is a "legitimate practice" and says that he would try to pass new legislation regarding the introduction of life imprisonment to the Brazilian penal code.Bolsonaro supports the privatization of state-owned companies and advocates free market policies,^[82] although critics have stated that his policy-making record does not in fact show him to be a supporter of economic liberalism
In a 2017 interview with journalist Claudio Dantas Sequeira from O Antagonista, Bolsonaro said that his views are directly aligned with centrist to right-wing United States citizens' views on gun ownership, abortion, gender politics and trade, despite the "left-leaning media frenzy" against him. He reiterated that he intends to reverse some disarmament laws, improve public security, and also improve trade ties with the United States, which he said were broken during Lula da Silva's and Dilma Rousseff's administrations.
Bolsonaro has, during his long political career, expressed views that many regard as being far-right. He has made statements that some people considered insulting, homophobic,violence-inciting, misogynistic, sexist racist or anti-refugee. Other controversial political stances expressed by Bolsonaro have been the defense of the death penalty (which is currently banned under the Constitution of Brazil of 1988) and of radical interventionism in Brazil by the military, along with an imposition of a Brazilian military government.
American journalist Glenn Greenwald called Bolsonaro "the most misogynistic, hateful elected official in the democratic world".^[94] News.com.au wondered whether Bolsonaro was "the world’s most repulsive politician".^] British news magazine The Economist referred to him as a "radical", "religious nationalist", a "right-wing demagogue", and "apologist of dictators"

It is not this story, this little story of secular state. It is a Christian state, and if a minority is against it, then move! Let’s make a Brazil for the majorities.

The worrying aspect of this is  Bolsonaro, views are mirrored by the Far right throughout democratic nations these days and there are echoes in the supporters of Trunp in the US, the AFD (which just made gains in Germany's state elections in Hesse, National Front in France, Jobbik in Hungary, Lega Nord in Italy, and The Swedish Democrats .

In the UK Ukip have opened thier door s to the so-called “alt right” movement to join the party.

In a Post-Brexit Britain , faced with the economic disaster they had created , there will be elements in the Tory Party seeking scapegoats and immigration particularity Muslims and a the Left (which will include Liberals) will be blamed as saboteurs  and "Enemies of the people"

We are facing a very bleak future for democracy Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil will move to eradicate the opposition, in the manner of previous South American Military dictatorships  under a democratically elected umbrella.

How long before he is joined by others even on our own doorstep?
