I can't believe how quickly populist governments in South and Central America have been deposed, and how blatantly it has been done.
How on earth is Temer, with his close to 0% approval rating, still in power ? The contemptuously crooked Temer, gained the backing of the congress by stopping a corruption and graft investigation, which was supported by 78% of Brazilians and of which Temer himself is a target.
Meanwhile he and his cohorts continue to line his own pockets by privatizing natural resources, granting 100 year concessions to benefit US and global corporations. Outrageous !
This is the very definition of a Kakistocracy.
It really does seem sometimes that democracy is dead.
