MODERATORS
that last part is so true lmao
when these evangelical leaders were reaching their peak, back in late 00's/early 10's, the PT decided to support rather than to fight them, in the hopes that they would get electoral support (which they even did, for a time; but like any reactionary opportunist, those leaders soon turned their back on the party)
Same way how chavez briefly flirted with protestantism
in a way, i think we can see it as a type of tailism
Tbh, Maduro also has the support of Protestants (I believe they are neo-Pentecostals and not the old local Protestants). These people are usually opportunists, as we've seen in Brazil and places like Guatemala. By the way, these neo-Pentecostals are very hostile towards the actual local Protestant churches, most of which were left-wing and oppressed during the Juntas.
It's a mistake, the only issue is that the opposition is also super reactionary when it comes to religion. (Bring up Maria Lionza in front of exiles, they use their shit)
lula loves conciliation with these dangerous groups, hes constantly flirting with our fascist military, religious zealots and all sorts of dangerous groups.
id say hes probably worse than chavez in this regard.
