Brazil keeps showing Americans how the authorities and courts should deal with an insurrection or attempted coup attempt. Really depressing that the American judicial system, especially our corrupt SCOTUS, utterly failed to do so!

I think Brazil's democracy defenders know they have to move fast because Trump's CIA would do all it can to get Bolsonaro re-elected and/or have another coup there.
It's not really possible to do it on that scale without reverting the CIA to Cold War-era funding and resources. Best they can do is hack their computer systems.
I don't think that's likely to be their main concern, though it could be a factor. But Brazil's voters tend to vote out the incumbent government whenever they're dissatisfied with the economy, regardless of the stated ideology or previous record of the party they vote in. Kind of like fucking stupid U.S. voters.

I really don't want the South American coup era to return. We don't need more Pinochets/Videlas/Stroessners.

Not our proudest foreign policy era, amirite?
No it wasn't, but the Cold War was a bad time all around.
