Bolsonaro campaigned by threatening physical elimination of political opponents and book burning

Evidence

In fact, among the promises of the then-candidate Bolsonaro was to literally kill left-wing people when visiting Acre, in the Amazonian region (Ribeiro, 2018), where Chico Mendes lived, before being murdered for defending the forest. Bolsonaro also used social media to encourage the “burning Paulo Freire’s books” in public squares. — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 1337
