Welcome Wagner!
I think I speak for most and probably all the members of the Forum when I say that it is good to have a fellow atheist conservative join us from Brazil with so much enthusiasm. And I think we all agree that, as you say, “things are moving rapidly toward a catastrophic state, with consequences that will last for generations”.
A fight is needed, to save our civilization.
I look forward keenly to your comments.

Great to have you here, Wagner!
I lived in Rio for awhile a long time ago, I was there with a Christian college group. I will always remember the wonderful Brazilian friends I got to know there!

I wouldn’t doubt that. Just like so many of our once great U.S. cities…

Yes, that’s the inevitable consequence of their insanity.
Where did you learn your perfect English, Wagner?
Welcome Wagner!
Owing to a mistake made in the settings of the Forum - a mistake which will now be rectified - Wagner was unable to post this reply to my question about where he learned his perfect English. There is apparently a time-and-space limit which none of us came up against before now. In order not to delay the posting of his reply while the correction is being made, I asked him to send me his reply by email so that I could post it on his behalf. Here it is:
"Thanks for the compliment! I am self-taught, I learned English using (paper) dictionaries. But I still have a lot to learn, especially in spoken English and my pronunciation (terrible, mostly because of the origin in the written dictionaries). But I still feel insecure to write directly, so I have used the support of an automatic translator (DeepL). It’s not perfect, but since I have good notions of English, after the machine translation, I make corrections to better match what I want to say.
“Since I read a good portion of my English dictionary, I also ended up with a larger vocabulary than an average natural English speaker. But it is as if I were a mason, who has many bricks but little cement, my grammar has not developed in the same proportion. So I have a little difficulty in constructing the sentences in an easy and natural way.”
In that case - congratulations, Wagner, you succeed with your constructions very well indeed!
Yes, good job!
