agreed, yesterday's protests are making the news
these protests have been occurring on a regular basis since the election last October and have
received near zero coverage from the American Democratic press

VIVA LA TRUMP!!!! VIVA LA TRUMP!!!

Hell, it's exactly like us!

What drove a mass attack on Brazil's capital? Mass delusion.

Excerpt:

Millions of Brazilians appear to be convinced that October's presidential election was rigged against Mr. Bolsonaro, despite audits and analyses by experts finding nothing of the sort. Those beliefs are in part the product of years of conspiracy theories, misleading statements and explicit falsehoods spread by Mr. Bolsonaro and his allies claiming Brazil's fully electronic voting systems are rife with fraud.

But Bolsonaro is more realistic than Trump:

In a recorded address in the final days of his presidency, Mr. Bolsonaro said that he had tried and failed to use the law to overturn the 2022 election, and suggested that his supporters should now move on. "We live in a democracy or we don't," he said. "No one wants an adventure." On Sunday, he posted a message on Twitter, criticizing the violence.

But his years of rhetoric against Brazil's democratic institutions — and his political strategy of instilling fear of the left in his supporters — had already left an indelible mark.

Interviews with protesters in recent weeks appeared to show that Mr. Bolsonaro's movement was moving beyond him. It is now driven by deeply held beliefs among many right-wing Brazilians that political elites rigged the vote to install as president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whom they regard as a communist who will turn Brazil into an authoritarian state like Venezuela.
