Brazil is more and less like China. I think the only difference between Brazil and China, is that we can insult politics and we have elections. But the way of life, I think all we can do, Chineses can do too.

So for ordinary people, probably doesn't have much difference.
Yeah, we don’t have elections, but to be honest, people still complain and insult politicians in private all the time, haha.
Considering the U.S. situation, the election system isn’t always great. Changing parties every four years keeps the country in a constant swing, moving slowly.
You are not wrong. And when we have a socialist constitution that is almost impossible to change, like in Brazil, in practice works like a one party system but that is possible to change the people in power every four years.
So we delude ourselves into thinking that something will change but nothing never really changes.
