"What we call Trumpism now we saw in the late 90s, and it was called Pat Buchanan," says @SteveKornacki.

"The 2000 election was the perfect culmination of the 1990s," says @SteveKornacki. "All of these major battles created this division. The 90s to me is when the colors took on partisan and political meaning, the two tribes were born. Red and Blue."

Bolsonaro almost died after being stabbed, says @BrazilBrian. "Politically, I think it's fair to say that it was helpful," he says. He also says because of this attack against him, opposition parties have had to turn down their attacks.

.@BrazilBrian: Jair Bolsonaro is a retired army captain, who among other things, shows disdain for the legislative body. He wasn't a popular figure, but because of the economic crisis, his messages are resonating.
