Not much different than modern day America, but the corruption down there isn't even disguised. trump brought us closer to their social/political model than ever before.

Yea. We don't hear much about Brazil on a daily basis, but they foiled trump's trade war with China in '18. They were more than happy to step in and fill the void for soybeans, as our farmers committed suicide.

If your friends were MAGAbots, then it definitely came up during the soy farmer bailout.
Or maybe not, as MAGAbots tend to be uninformed
I doubt most MAGA cultists generally really think about what happens outside the 20 mile radius bubble around their house.
Like their demigod Trump, who famously thought Finland was part of Russia, they are incurious and unaware

It isn't Trump that will bring us to looking like some Central / South American Leftist dictatorship, it will be the Left. It will come in the form of corrupt government bureaucracies, taking away individual freedoms, and a "Rich" / corporate / government cabal designed to keep the general populace down.
Examples:
In those countries the police are corrupt to one extent or another. Here we are seeing the FBI being used as a political tool more and more. That wasn't Trump's doing, it was those on the Left.
In S. American countries corporations and the government collude to limit competition and evade corruption. That is being done here through increasing government regulation and the justice system only targeting those that aren't part of the collusion. Again, that's coming from the Left, not someone like Trump.
Voting and elections are corrupt by a wide variety of shady practices. The Left tried to expand that here with HR 1 and SR 1 in the last two years, as one example.
Education is a tool of government and indoctrination is more important than the general public actually getting educated. Those that are deemed needing an actual education attend elite, privileged private schools where indoctrination is still present but moderated by the need to learn. That's coming from the Left.
The military isn't particularly effective, and loyalty to the ruling regime and elite is stressed. That's entirely coming from the Left today in the form of woke culture in the military.

Althea told me...
This is as far as I got.
I disagree. No Democrat ever refused to accept defeat and concede an election.
trump was riling up his Nazi base in July '20, in preparation for his massive defeat.
He attempted to get the military involved after the election, and he weaponized our Justice Dept.
No Democrat would ever dream of tainting our political system in that way.
Can we thank trump for the destruction of the rainforests? They took a beating with fires during his administration. The GOPers are blaming Biden for the worldwide recession and gas price increase. What's fair is fair.
I am at a Twin Peaks in north Texas right now. Monday Night Football begins shortly, and the servers are dressed very nicely for All Hallows Eve
Oh, also, I'm a "fully stocked" happy camper.

Certainly for Californians like you that care more about Brazil than your own state's tragic environmental policies.
A research paper, published in the journal Environmental Pollution, finds that California’s wildfires in 2020 caused twice the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that the state produced between 2003 and 2019. In other words, 2020’s wildfire season, which set a record for the number of acres burned in the state, essentially wiped out 18 years of California’s efforts to reduce emissions through such policies as replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy and providing incentives for electric vehicles. California regularly is responsible for around 50 percent of all electric vehicles sold in the United States. More than 9,000 wildfires hit California in 2020, sending smoke all the way to the East Coast and burning more than 4.3 million acres and damaging 11,116 structures. Since wood contains stored carbon, carbon dioxide — the most prevalent greenhouse gas —is emitted when the wood oxidizes (burns). The burning wood from the wildfires accounted for almost 30 percent of California’s total emissions, making wildfires the second-largest source of emissions in the state, after transportation.
According to the study by UCLA and the University of Chicago, wildfire emissions in 2020 were 127 million metric tons of carbon dioxide — second only to transportation (166 million metric tons) and well above industry (88 million metric tons) and power
generation (59 million metric tons). From 2003 to 2019, California’s greenhouse gas emissions declined by 65 million metric tons, a 13 percent reduction that was largely driven by reductions from the electric power sector. California has been very aggressive in the transition to intermittent renewable energy with backup from dispatchable forms of energy, including carbon-based fuels. To calculate the wildfire emissions, the researchers used data from two satellites and California Air Resources Board (CARB) data for the state’s emissions cuts. CARB is currently considering a 2022 draft plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, also referred to as “net-zero.
In addition, 2020 greenhouse gas emissions from wildfires represent nearly half of the state’s 2030 reduction target of 260 MMT of CO2 emissions, according to the study. The data suggested that future wildfire seasons akin to 2020 would completely zero out any reductions created by government policies and the tens of billions consumers and taxpayers are spending to implement them. Emissions from California’s wildfires in 2020 caused $7.1 billion in global monetized damages.
California sees itself as the nation’s leader in climate policy, launching a series of programs and regulations to cut emissions, which includes requirements that the electrical sector use only carbon-free energy by 2045 and car makers sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2035. The state also runs a carbon cap-and-trade market that forces large businesses to cut emissions or buy environmental permits for their pollution. In September, Governor Newsom signed legislation as part of his “California Climate Commitment” program that would invest $54 billion into climate initiatives, reduce emissions by 60 percent, nearly eliminate the state’s oil consumption and reduce refinery pollution 94 percent through stricter standards over the next two decades. The California Air Resources Board does not account for the smoke pollution from wildfires.

Why don't you just worry about what goes on in your own country.

You would think the republicans would be happy these SA Nations could get better and attract their people to repatriate their birth nations and become healthy democracy that can become an economic engine of international buyers B of American goods
But the Republican never make sense

76 years old. Close as white as you can get. I can see why you and the left support this. Dumb mother fuckers.

Poopeye the loser man is back to poop-up the threads with his foolish nonsense.
You willingly live in the authoritarian police state of Thailand, but spend a good part of your life complaining about how horrible California is.

Totally predictable, you live in California yet refuse to accept the tragic consequences of failed environmental policies there.

Two dotards with nothing between the ears. They deserve each other.
