(2,809 posts)Not even a MAGA incitement rally and all the cold, cruel diviseness and dog whistles to the base emerge.
Dateline March 19th, 2019, and the two largest and obscenely cruel world dictators speak...
Ttump: "Today I'm very thrilled to welcome President Bolsonaro for his first visit to the White House" ... "We're going to have a fantastic relationship, we have many views that are similar..."
"The twilight hour of socialism has arrived in our hemisphere, and hopefully by the way, it's also arrived, that twiight hour, in our great country" ... "The last thing we want in the United States is socialism. So President Bolsonaro and I will, uh, tell you that we'll be consulting and talking a lot. We'll be working a lot on our (both?) problems and assets, and we're making tremendous strides, we had a great meeting today"
(the famous "NATO ally" blurb, trade goals...space farce...end verbal suck up introduction from Ttump)
Bolsonaro: "We do share a great deal in common." ... "n conclusion, may I say that Brazil and the United States stand side by side in their efforts to ensure liberties and respect to traditional family lifestyles, respect to God, our Creator, against the gender ideology or the politically correct attitudes, and against fake news."
Ttump opens his stump again:
"I tell you, I have many, many millions of followers on Twitter. And it's different than it used to be. Things are happening, names are taken off, people aren't getting through. You've heard the same complaints. And it seems to be, if they're conservative, if they're Republicans, if they're in a certain group, there's discrimination and big discrimination." ... (moths wordy "no collusion" deflections)
"So something is happening with those groups of folks that are running Facebook and Google and Twitter. And I do think we have to get to the bottom of it. It's very fair -- it's collusive, and it's very, very fair to say that we have to do something about it. And if we don't -- you know, the incredible thing is that we can win an election and we have such a stacked deck." (rant continues against "fake news networks"
Question for Jair Bolsonaro from interviewer: "Thank you, sir. President Bolsonaro, and another question on the 2020 election: If a number of the Democrats who are running to replace the President have embraced or have considered socialist ideas -- you've spoken critically of that in the past -- if a socialist or a candidate who embraced socialism were to replace the President, how would it affect your relations with the United States?
Bolsonaro:
"I do believe Donald Trump is going to be reelected fully." ..."This was the same -- what happened to me. I think everyone will repeat their vote here in America. So, every day, more and more people that are prone to socialism, and even communism, slowly are going to be opening their minds to the reality." ... "This feeling most certainly is going to be very much seen when 2020 comes."
(Both puppets exchange extensive and clumsy niceties, and thank the thankless, conclusion)
