The Stupidest Right Wingers in the World

That Brazilian MAGAt types who have been supporting Jair Bolsonaro are engaging in protests and road blockages.

MAGAt and other fascists are frequently not the smartest people on earth, but what just happened takes the cake. 

You see protesters blocked a road leading to a Futebol (Soccer) stadium just before a major game.

I do not know as much as I should about Brazil, and I know even less about Futebol, but I do know that keeping people from their Futebol matches in the birthplace of Pelé is something beyond the stupidity of even House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, who is known for his lack of intellect:

But where security forces failed to break up roadblocks, football fans took matters into their own hands. According to the newspaper O Globo, at least four associations of football ultras – known in Brazil as torcidas organizadas – broke through Bolsonarista barricades in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Paraná in their efforts to reach Brasileirão games, Brazil’s main football league competition.

Members of the Galoucura football fan association of the Atlético Mineiro club cleared the road linking Belo Horizonte to São Paulo ahead of a game on Tuesday between the Minas Gerais club, fondly known as Galo, and the São Paulo football team. Videos circulating online show football fans clearing tires from the road and lorries driving off. “The barricades-busting troop is here,” one man says. “We’re going to see the Galo whatever happens!”.

On social media, amused Brazilians thanked the ultras for defending democracy. “I’m in favour of my team losing to Galo today simply for the Galoucura’s contribution to [democratic] institutions,” Vera Magalhães, a São Paulo-supporting journalist who has often been harassed by President Bolsonaro and his supporters, tweeted. The game ended in a 2-2 draw.

Meanwhile, the Gaviões do Fiel fans of São Paulo club Corinthians cleared two roadblocks late on Tuesday as they headed from São Paulo to Rio, where they will play Flamengo at the Maracanã stadium on Wednesday evening.

After clearing a section of the Marginal Tiête highway in São Paulo, Corinthians fans hung a banner emblazoned with the words “We are for democracy”, while chanting Lula’s name. As well as being the team of President-elect Lula, Corinthians is known for its opposition to Brazil’s 1964-1985 military dictatorship with the “Democracia Corintiana” movement led by footballers such as Sócrates and Casagrande.

Seriously, the Bolsonaristas were screwing with Soccer?  In Brazil?
