It seems Brazil’s president is rebranding Trump politics to suit his own government.
just weeks away, the election’s closeness could by itself set the stage for a post-election reaction that polarized Americans are already too familiar with. The Brazilian"Great Steal" could follow the same plan as the Jan. 6 attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol. That attack was thwarted by the actions of just a heroic few who believed in defending democracy and what it represented.
In Brazil right now, the threats to democracy and the planet are real. That should matter to anyone who cares. Recent history would suggest that at least for those Americans who support Trump, what Bolsonaro is trying to pull is exactly what Trump would have wanted. Such a possibility should scare anyone who believes that as imperfect as democracy is, it is still a noble political system that requires constant vigilance and protection.
