I think that the key thing to understand about Bolsonaro is that he really comes not from this modern ‘alt-right’ movement of the type of Donald Trump or Nigel Farage or Marine Le Pen, but the Cold War far right that carried out enormous atrocities in the name of fighting domestic communism, which is what Bolsonaro believes his primary project to be. He recently vowed to cleanse the country of left-wing opposition, which he sees as a communist front. And so, the threat and the ideology is far more extreme than anything in the democratic world.
There’s certainly ample evidence that Brett Kavanaugh has been untruthful to the Senate, that he’s lied under oath, that he’s misled the Senate.
