The “Tropical Trump” Topped The Polls Because Of The US’ Hybrid War On Brazil
It would be disingenuous to attribute Bolsonaro’s rise solely to the US-backed Hybrid War on Brazil while overlooking the country’s preexisting polarization and the policy failings of the socialists. It’s more the result of a combination of the two.
