Can't speak for Brazil, but in the UK this trend has been greatly exacerbated by Brexit.

Spain is indeed closer to the US in some ways as the legacy of Franco is very hard to forget by both sides, which causes all manner of weird things



In Brazil it has been exacerbated by the legacy of the military dictatorship, openly defended by the current president, and lately by the high number of deaths caused by COVID and the reactions (or lack thereof) to that.


That's revisionism, the political rift was already there at least from the second Dilma government.


Well I did say "exacerbated", not caused by it hahah
