I do

Largely because the CIA still exists and who knows if they won't miss the good ol operation condor days.

Brazil is like a small version of the United States. It's one of the most unequal economy in the world. A very small group of rich families control the entire Brazilian economy. There is a very powerful Christian Evangelical movement that denies climate change. There is a TV channel (Globo) that is basically a corporate empire. The Brazilian Congress was violently stormed after a hard-right candidate denied the results of an election.

But the comparison stops here.

Brazilians take their democracy seriously. They are taking the former President to court for planning a coup. They told Elon Musk his businesses must respect the law or they will shut them down. The billionaire screamed like an animal. He insulted them. He ended up complying. The naive Europeans are still asking "respect the law Elon, please please, or we will give you a fine". They don't understand the game has changed.

Now the US publically targets Brazil. Because I think President Trump sees himself in the events in Brazil. The Brazilian Evangelicals are also asking the US Evangelical movement for help.

His approval ratings recently hit an all-time low, like lower than the height of COVID when he was fucking up the pandemic response so badly that hundreds of thousands of people were needlessly dying.

So, yeah. Even the vast majority of Americans really don't respect this guy, or anything he has to say.

This is definitely the United States. You can name tons of previous administrations that has done or would praise what Trump has done. Facism is the US is nothing new

L'etate, c'est Trump.

dint know about the sodomy, but i heard putin was obsessed with gaddaffis execution/torture, people were joking he obsessively watched frequently

They were rapemates maybe

he should be dancing the spandau ballet, but considering this is an internal conflict of the brazilian bourgeoisie, i'll take what it comes and try to use the situation to continue facilitating a sense of class consciousness in the brazilian working class.

edit: this is not his final verdict, however. he got house arrested "just" because he broke some court imposed bans, such as appearing live on social media. it is expected that the supreme court judges will handle his trial this month.
