Brazilian pede here, a few days ago he led a massive motorcycle rally in Rio De Janeiro ridding across the city and gathering around 17,000 supporters (seventeen, hmm... Interesting number) according to the organizers of the event. He has a massive public support and his nickname there is "Mito" ("myth"/ or Legend) exactly bc nobody else in our history ever dare to confront the media fake news and the liberal political opposition like he does.
