Brazil's Trump? no way
It's weird, I kinda feel the same way, with the US's Bolsonaro. smh. Can it be so?
It took less than 2 years for them to unseal the records and start doing something about it.
Meanwhile in the US, it has been 4 years and Trump still hasn't gone to trial about all the shit he did. He was caught on tape in Georgia, and still nothing. He sent emails to people in different states, and still nothing.
American politics has taught me that this isn't really that big a deal, apparently /s
That's only if you don't take democracy seriously.
Here's a quick recap of related events, after bozo's election in 2018:
- once in power, in 2019, the fucker immediately began casting doubt on the transparency of elections
- one of bozo's sons, "carluxo", who seems to really believe all the conspirational shit he spouts everywhere, was in charge of the "hate cabinet", which was essential to feeding the many whatsapp groups with bullshit - the main bullshit was, of course, blaming the Worker's Party/the left for "radicalizing politics"
- bozo also used ABIN (equivalent to the CIA) to protect another son of his from a federal police investigation
- the terrorist assclown did everything he could to slow down vaccination during the pandemic and openly advertised every shit that obviously didn't work, like chloroquine and ivermectin.
- come 2022, presidential election year, the wrinkly locust tripled down on his bullshit of "YOU CAN'T TRUST THE ELECTION!!!!11!!!1!1", always with zero proof.
- in a show of complete disregard for the judiciary (it only does justice once in a while, luckily it's doing right now against him), he openly attacked the elections during a talk with diplomats. Proof? His ass for brains. He got owned the next year (2023) and became ineligible for 8 years
- some time prior to the election proper in 2022, the asinine bolsominions started making camp in front of army barracks and headquarters asking FOR A FUCKING MILITARY COUP - Everyone suspected, rightly so and since the beginning, that bozo and his thugs were behind riling up the idiots to do that. The investigation revealed evidence of such last week.
- After being defeated in the elections, mr "imbroxavel" broxou (
bro-show
; broxa[bro-sha]
is a slang for a man that can't get erect, imbroxavel would mean one that never fails) and went completely radio silent for a week or two, to the despair of the minions. - bolsominions were being REALLY riled up, to the point they attacked the headquarters of the federal police and, in a separate event, tried to bomb a tanker truck near the Brasilia airport.
- Shortly before 2023 came along, mr "imbroxavel" fled the country to the USA. He came back in March 2023, which everyone agrees was a terrible mistake of his.
- Last week, it was revealed that a number of generals and other high ranking army officers were ready and willing to help kidnap and assassinate Lula da Silva, Geraldo Alckmin (vice president) and Alexandre de Moraes (their arch-enemy and a supreme judge). They only didn't catch Moraes because, on the planned day, the supreme court session ended earlier than expected, messing their plans.
- with all that failing, January 8th 2023 happened. Much to the fasshits' chagrim, that plan didn't work out either, because Lula didn't call the army to help.
- Here's the thing: had Lula called the army to repress the terrorists (GLO, Garantia de Lei e Ordem, law and order guarantee, can be called by the president to defend the State), they would take the opportunity to seize the 3 houses (senate, congress and supreme court), effectively sealing the coup.
To the unending despair of brazilians with more than one working neuron, the hate cabinet has not been fully shut down: bozo or his son still has a bunch of idiots and bots to spread lies. While papa can't run for elections before 2030, his sons still can (one is a senator, no less), so they still have much to (re)gain.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
