Here's the gist, courtesy of a Brazillian user on resetera:
We all know how bizarre Brazil's politics can be, but this is some soap opera shit.
Carlos, the president's second son, really hates Hamilton Mourão, our VP. Mourão is more liberal and the press love him, Carlos was not having it because the press is the enemy, so he started a campaign that painted Mourão as a traitor that wants the presidency. He even posted one of his hit videos on Bolsonaro's twitter account (yes, he has the president's social media passwords, Brazil is really normal).
Bolsonaro took it down. Carlos got really mad, left home and changed Bolsonaro's twitter password. The president can't tweet since sunday.
It's amazing.
Coming soon to a Presidency near you...
I can only hope
It just got even better. His son is now impersonating him on twitter. Well, attempting to, anyway. Because he's apparently stupid enough to believe that the best way to suddenly start impersonating Bolsonaro is not to make a normal tweet and sweep the whole embarrassing matter under the rug like a typical dictator, but uncharacteristically sign the tweet with Jair Bolsonaro's fucking name.

Then again, I suppose some Brazillians still might be dumb enough to buy his act.....

....Oh.
I mean, Trump's tweets do LOOK like they were written by Baron Trump:

I mean... They were dumb enough to vote for him.
They actually voted for a different guy, but none of his votes counted because he's in prison.
Huh, that's weird, was I supposed to input the konami code or something to vote for Lula? I must have missed that.
Great to know that we have people of excellent professionalism and work ethic in as the head of state in Brazil. /s
if you press blank, blank, blank, confirm, cancel on the voting machine you unlock reptile
Still a better president than whatever the fuck we were "supposed to vote in".
Man Brazil's voting system is weird as hell
when the bolsonaro shitshow doesn't leave room for the pt hate boner and you gotta flex on a video game character instead
It wasn't supposed to come off specific like that, but it was a little ambiguous and sounded very passive aggressive I'll give you that.
The "PT would've been worse" or, really, "[whatever thing that serves as a surrogate for the status quo] would've been worse" mantra has been repeated over every new failing of the Bolsonaro government. I'm not complaining because I like PT, I'm poking fun at your comment because, given the circumstances of decreasing eagerness to say it would've been worse than Bolsonaro with every new development, it's funny that you went with "the status quo would've been worse than... reptile, the mortal kombat character"
Like I tried to say in the added edit, it wasn't supposed to be specific, and neither a ~serious politics~ remark. Of fucking course, the absurd and impossible hypothetical scenario of Reptile being a president is worse.
You're reading way too much into it.
i was making just as much of a joke as you were, chill. if we're getting down to explaining them, be warned: they'll become terribly unfunny
you were remarking on the absurdity of who "we were supposed to vote in" by saying even reptile would've been better. i was riffing on the "at least bolsonaro is better than who we were supposed to vote in" mantra, which gets repeated ad-nauseum, but, in the face of bolsonaro's constant failings and validations of his opponent's worst fears, you gotta turn to targets like reptile instead.
don't read too much into it.
dumb rating + the way you put it made it sound much more like you were going for the classical facepunch "sick zingers!!!"
The entire premise of the snarky remark (which if it was bad already, is only going to get worse now explaining) was that it could be construed either way if you changed either sides for the "mortal kombat party", and not really the merits of either side, but more that the same exchange we're having right now (and now here's my "ebic mortal kombat reference vydia reference!!") could be palette swapped and still have happened, and again.
I could go on and on and on trying to frame this, but it won't be productive or bring anything new to the topic. If it wasn't personal, then w/e just disregard this all.
For the record, replite isn't all that bad. He deeply cares for his people, isn't corrupt, doesn't hate gay people and as far as I know doesn't want to tear down the Amazon and engage in fascism. I'll vote for him over the current guy tbh.
