Olavo de Carvalho Instigates Violence; Fellow Citizens, Please Renounce Him

Olavo de Carvalho recently suggested in a post on social media that, should Bolsonaro be elected, immediately after the new president takes office, his opposition will be not only defeated, but totally destroyed and groups, institutions, and even individuals.

He says that the people who consider Bolsonaro a threat to democracy are not fighting to win an election, but fighting "for political, social, and even physical survival." This is an announcement of a murderous
authoritarianism.

Bolsonaro has said that the dictatorship "killed too little". He has used a camera tripod as a rifle, pretending to shoot PT followers. He has praised the Coronel Brilhante Ustra, known for torturing and killing people during the military dictatorship. When a crazy man stabbed him, all the other presidential runners vehemently condemned the act and its perpetrator. But when one of his voters killed an artist who said out loud he voted for PT, Bolsonaro said he had nothing to do with it.

Carvalho's post announces a series of violent acts and asks his followers to carry them out as soon as Bolsonaro arrives (if he arrives) to the Alvorada (Brazil's presidential residence).
