Rightists like to oversimplify and make it as if anyone who disagrees with them is brainwashed and stupid, I think it's a shame. The biggest problem to me is that the political crisis only use it seems will be to hand power over to the other side, without fixing or changing anything, the corruption will stay the same and the little reforms that led us here are gonna be rolled back, the new ones in power are sure to work in the way of deepening the status-quo and making it harder for this to happen again(BUT without fixing it!). There's that quote that says "never waste a good crisis"... It's exactly what's going on and the most ignorant are unable to see it because any kind of contradiction means you're "brainwashed communist PTista". So fucking dumb.

I think your view of people who think differently from you is the one that's oversimplified.

This mentalitity of "everything will stay the same so let's do nothing" is harmful in my opinion. We must take down the current corrupt politicians, and if others replace them, we take them down too.

That's not my mentallity. But yeah, I agree with this, when does it start? Seems it's already gone.
