    Will of the polls?

    Gleisi Hoffman, president of the Worker’s Party, called the breaches “a crime announced against democracy” and “against the will of the polls.”

    Pretty funny slip in the title given the cult like a nature of both Bolsanaro’s and Trump’s support.

    Terrible situation for the people of Brazil and hope they come out of there Jan. 6 like we did.

    I love how Florida has become the new Moscow where failed dictators go to be harbored by another fascist autocrat. Balsanaro rummaging around Publix like a soccer mom while his version of Brown Shirts in another country stage an insurrection on his behalf is just part of the new wannabe dictator playbook now I guess. I haven't even looked yet, but I'd bet money that BiBI and Erdogan have homes in Florida too.

    That state really is starting to suck.

    Hyperbole aside I don't really know how anyone with a straight face can say that Ron DeSantis isn't at least sort of a fascist by definition.

    -Big government overreach of private business (Disney) because of cultural decisions that don't align to his ideology
    -Big government overreach to feed corporate insurance funding to disperse as they please instead of making sure they fairly compensate homeowners for storm damage
    -Banning Books that do not align with his ideology & punishing public schools that do not bend to his extremist ideology of indoctrination
    -Immigration stunts to demonize the other
    -Voter Suppression galore. Even having black people presented as criminals in a speech he gave with them pictured behind him as a strongman scare tactic
    - etc. etc. etc.


    I hate to break it to you, but the facts are clear about Ron DeSantis. I understand you love him because in your mind he's Trump without the baggage or whatever, but I'm just stating the facts.... the guy is pretty much a fascist or at least trying to be a fascist in his limited capacity as Governor of a large state within a Democracy.

    Fascism by Definition:

    a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

    At least at Micro level... dude is a Fascist. As president with party control of Congress & the Judiciary, do we have any doubt how he would govern at a Macro level with the full power of the Executive Branch?

    Not surprised that Trump aides have been advising Bolsinaro as his supporters are parroting what we heard a lot of here in the US. Also not surprised that Bannon is weighing in in support of Bolsinaro.

    Like the US there is also no evidence that fraud was comitted. It is just more conjecture given to feed outrage. A lot of "we feel that there was fraud!" rather than actual proof.

    Then you have the immigrants with money who approve of his treatment of immigrants in dire straights. That, and his anti-gay BS, while hanging out with sexual predators who love them young. They're a toxic breed of humans.

    Well…

    another former President has to surrender his passport for an attempted coup.


    Brazil’s ex-president Bolsonaro presented coup plot to military leaders, court documents allege


    São Paulo, BrazilCNN —
    Former President Jair Bolsonaro presented top Brazilian military leaders with a plan to stage a coup after he lost the 2022 election, newly released court documents have alleged.

    The country’s Supreme Court released the testimonies from former army commander Marco Antonio Freire Gomes and former air force commander Carlos de Almeida Baptista Jr. to the Brazilian Federal Police on Friday.

    Bolsonaro allegedly presented the plan in a meeting on December 7, 2022, at the presidential palace in Brasilia.

    In their testimonies, both Gomes and Baptista Jr. said they refused to carry out Bolsonaro’s alleged plan to stay in power and threatened to arrest him, documents show.

    Bolsonaro surrendered his passport to authorities in early February as part of a police investigation into an alleged coup attempt. The former president has denied the allegations.

    Bolsonaro is better than Lula. Lula is a corrupt communist.

    Yawn. He's corrupt in the same way you accused biden of being corrupt.....not a single shred of evidence against biden for any wrongdoing but that didn't stop you from accusing him.

    Time for some self reflection
