Far-right congressman, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, is very likely to be Brazil's next president.
Bolsonaro publicly praised Colonel Carlos Alberto Brilhante Ustra, who tortured about 40 opposition members to death during the 1964-85 military dictatorship. Bolsonaro himself served in the army from 1971 to 1988. Rousseff, on the other hand, was tortured by the dictatorship.
Bolsonaro wants to place the public schools under the control of the military, and he says he would counter rising violence by arming the "good citizens" while promising police officers bonuses for every criminal killed.
He once told a lawmaker for the Workers' Party that she was "so ugly that she doesn't even deserve to be raped."
He also likes to attack homosexuals, saying he'd rather have a dead son than a gay son.
He is clueless about the economy, he says and tells people to turn to Paulo Guedes, Bolsonaro's desired economy minister, a liberal economist known as "Chicago Boy" for his affinity for deregulation. The business community has already signaled its approval of Guedes' stated plans to privatize and streamline the state should he be nominated economy minister.
His running mate, General Antonio Hamilton Martins Mourao, in 2017 openly threatened a military coup.
