Complete nonsense.

I simply stated an opinion on the culprit, I'm not making out that this incident isn't serious or that other incidents take precedence I'm just stating that I'm inclined to believe that the culprits are closer to the victim then he might suspect. The fact that you won't even entertain it as a possibility shows more denial on your part than mine. It's very possible that things unfolded as they were reported, I'm not denying that possibility. I just think that, like how Trump has inspired potential world leaders to be extreme as possible to get elected, extreme political groups will look to Bolsonero's situation and try to profit from it. Just to clarify since I think you'll try to make out that I think the Bolsonero incident was preplanned by his campaign or something, I don't think Bolsonero's stabbing was part of some plot to gain an advantage, they were given lemons and made lemonade with it but I do think other political parties in other parts of the world will take note and try to profit from how effective an assassination attempt can be when it comes to votes.
