I really hope so. But the problem is less “Brazil has changed” and more ’people are framing this election as either a struggle between “barbarism v. civilization” or “evil godless commies v. good liberal christians” I think most foreigners have no idea on how bad is the current situation. Here’s a small sample of what is at stake. Btw, now I notice my comment above on “what happened to Brazil...” might be in need of an explanation: it was not intended as a criticism on any particular government, but as a general statement on the problem in dev eco about how politics (and social trends in general) interfere with economics.
