'I don't see any reason for feminism': the women backing Brazil's Bolsonaro

As a Filipino, I think you understand perfectly why voting for someone like Bolsonaro is a bad idea. I hope Brazil doesn't make the same mistake the Philippines did with Duterte.

The problem with Duterte is most likely that he is backed by China.

The phillipines is also a much weaker democracy than Brazil. Dude won with 30% of the votes ffs. Americans love to say they have "checks and balances", guess what, Brazil has all of these too. There is a very strong house of representatives, a senate, a supreme court, federal judges, state governors...The president itself has very little direct power.
