Since you all love me so much I decided I shall post the original text.
I hoped to have good news for the Bore this week as I promised last week but that is now put on hold for at least another week.
BUT, today or tonight I should say (technically this morning here but whatever) I can honestly say I became a conservative. All my life I was a liberal, all my adult life I voted for democrats with liberal agendas but I have been changing over the last few years as I have been going back and forth to other countries.
Today was the tipping point-
As I made a road trip I was advised not to do, and then tried not to do but was coerced into doing I almost fucking died.
Let me explain -
Between Sao Paulo to Rio it's about a 5.5 hour trip if you take the main highway. In Sao Paulo, a mainly conservative or at least business oriented leaning state everything is somewhat organized, people have respect, the law somewhat works relative to the rest of the country.
This is no more apparent than on the highway. As you drive on the main highway between the two states you start to notice the change. As you leave Sao Paul to enter Rio things go from smooth asphalt, lines clearly defined, wide roads, speed traps, and police station every few miles, to pot holes, short condensed lines with poor lighting , etc.
As we are in an hour or so into Rio we enter a very dangerous part of the highway called "Dutra" I was warned that the driver needed to know this area very well because it is literally fucking insane. You have these rigs flying on these terrible narrow highway roads without any consideration. But since my driver was born and raised here all his life I figured ok we're golden...
what happens? A fucking rig turns into our line without seeing us and smears us into the median. I'm sitting in the passenger side and I hear the goddamn scrapping and the windows shattering right next to me. It was horrific. I don't know how no one died or how we didn't all die. It was nuts. And you think he stopped??? Nope. He kept going.
There is no law in liberal states. People are fearless of consequences. They think everything is wonderful like a college campus. Coincidently, around the same time this happens a goddamn college professor from around here sends out this mass text about voting for fucking "Haddad" which is the left wing puppet of one of the former presidents that is in jail.
I'm not saying liberalism is bad, but I believe the left is here to occasionally break and rebuild the system for the better, but the ones that need to run this country, or any country should probably be the conservatives.
Today I vote conservative for the first time in my life.
Now I'll answer some of your dumb questions :
Assi is going to vote for a fucking military regime. How can he vote anyways? I thought he was american.
I am a dual citizen. I will vote in the mid-term election since I am returning to the states (part of my good news to the bore)
To be fair, Assi's talking about voting in the Brazilian presidential election for the candidate he's been promoting for weeks in the International thread because some "liberals" "attacked" him last night. It's possible he hadn't even heard about a shooting in the United States when he made this thread. Let alone formed a headline based hot take on it he'll dig in to defend no matter what yet.
Correct, I had no idea about a shooting until I got home last night. I saw some headline but I haven't read anything yet.
lolol someone beat up assi? coulda run away if you didn't have them chickenlegs ya skinny old pussy
I did not get beat up Mr Breaks. I would have run away if that were to happen because people don't just "beat you up" here, they kill you.
Was he jumped by a bunch of liberal distinguished transsexual fellettes? What's the story Assy?
That would have been fun, actually. Good story to tell but unfortunately not the case.
The day the music died

Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters waded neck-deep into the acrimony of Brazil’s presidential election on Tuesday night, condemning the far-right frontrunner, Jair Bolsonaro, as a neo-fascist in the mold of Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.
During a concert at São Paulo’s Allianz Park stadium, Waters drew cheers of support and a barrage of expletives for repeatedly denouncing Bolsonaro
On his most recent tour he had visuals mocking Trump as the background for Pigs (Three Different Ones). It was amazing.
His pig balloon also said "Obama" when I saw him at Coachella 08.
He's a fucking moron. People like him make me want to vote conservative even in the states. The guy has no goddamn clue about this country, how dangerous it is, how innocent people get assaulted and murdered every day.
He thinks everyone has a culture like England or the U.S. The world IS different this fucking imbecile.
edited: everyone can go fuck themselves for what they did to filler
saw this one, something about how libs tried to kill him, so he's going to vote for the guy he's been promoting for weeks in the IP thread
Yeah, because they continue to want to vote for lawlessness. They want to pretend everything is a cozy college campus and a cute bar in an expensive part of town.
Why is it that when people get older they tend to lean more conservative? Because you're young, idealistic, hopeful, but then you get older and realize some people can not be saved, some people need to be dealt with swiftly. Try and fix the country and rid itself of the bad seeds so younger generations don't have to also pass through this bullshit.
