It is complicated, therefore, who accuses the Trump of fascism, condemns fascism as something opposed to socialism, and how people who had this thought, were majority, yes, many people think and judge in this way, which even in fact cant* be called fascism.

Sober people here, associate much more, socialism with fascism, than any opposite accusation. But the Socialists were mostly, so anything that opposes them, becomes a fascist, you know? Bolsonaro does not have a clear policy on gays, and has in fact already demonstrated in some cases to be prejudiced and ignorant at some points. Just because I'm ignorant about gays, and having an opposite opinion, they accuse him of being a fascist, so I don't take it seriously, who doesn't know what fascism is, calling someone a fascist.

But answering his question, when Trump was elected, yes, he was called a fascist by many socialists who made resistance < useless > around here. (In the same way that they compare Bolsonaro to Hitler, believe me, it is this level of despair of the Socialists, and that did not prevent the same of being elected. That's why it's complicated.

Serious question, do people in Brazil think Trump is Facist? Is it a small number of people that think this or is it a wide spread belief/assumption?

Sounds like the politics are rooted deeply in partisan motives than anything else. This is ironically interesting based on all the talk of partisan tribalism being at the forefront in America. One might be able to reasonably argue the extreme partisan politics helps corruption flourish (operation Carwash?).
