For decades, Havaianas flip-flops have been a beloved global symbol of Brazilian culture, worn by millions of people each day. They are now ensnared in a political fight.

    Some of Mr. Bolsonaro’s allies vowed to switch to flip-flops made by competitors — or even abandon the quintessential Brazilian sandals in favor of Crocs.

    Lmao imagine if the fash start wearing Crocs to own the libs.

    This is what they do. Stir the pot on meaningless stupid crap instead of working to make things better for all.

    Because there are no more pressing matters to attend to than... flip-flops?

    Right-wingers don't know or care how to govern, certainly not to make things better.
