Bolsonaro is mainstream. Look to the US. For decades, politicians competed to see who could push the most draconian criminal justice policies.

Candidates most prominently began to compete on crime in the tumultuous 1960s.

Richard Nixon won with ads showing burning cities and scowling young men, ads crafted by an unknown aide named Roger Ailes.

Ronald Reagan launched a “war on drugs.”

George H.W. Bush won in 1988 with notorious ads telling the story of Willie Horton, who was allowed out of prison under a weekend furlough program.

Bill Clinton in 1992 bragged of his support for the death penalty. These chest-thumping themes were echoed in hundreds of campaigns down the ballot each year.

NOw in the US is called "being tough on crime" if it is Brazil is called right-wing and will destroy democracy.
