Here's a quick recap of related events, after bozo's election in 2018:

  • once in power, in 2019, the fucker immediately began casting doubt on the transparency of elections
  • one of bozo's sons, "carluxo", who seems to really believe all the conspirational shit he spouts everywhere, was in charge of the "hate cabinet", which was essential to feeding the many whatsapp groups with bullshit - the main bullshit was, of course, blaming the Worker's Party/the left for "radicalizing politics"
  • bozo also used ABIN (equivalent to the CIA) to protect another son of his from a federal police investigation
  • the terrorist assclown did everything he could to slow down vaccination during the pandemic and openly advertised every shit that obviously didn't work, like chloroquine and ivermectin.
  • come 2022, presidential election year, the wrinkly locust tripled down on his bullshit of "YOU CAN'T TRUST THE ELECTION!!!!11!!!1!1", always with zero proof.
  • in a show of complete disregard for the judiciary (it only does justice once in a while, luckily it's doing right now against him), he openly attacked the elections during a talk with diplomats. Proof? His ass for brains. He got owned the next year (2023) and became ineligible for 8 years
  • some time prior to the election proper in 2022, the asinine bolsominions started making camp in front of army barracks and headquarters asking FOR A FUCKING MILITARY COUP - Everyone suspected, rightly so and since the beginning, that bozo and his thugs were behind riling up the idiots to do that. The investigation revealed evidence of such last week.
  • After being defeated in the elections, mr "imbroxavel" broxou (bro-show; broxa [bro-sha] is a slang for a man that can't get erect, imbroxavel would mean one that never fails) and went completely radio silent for a week or two, to the despair of the minions.
  • bolsominions were being REALLY riled up, to the point they attacked the headquarters of the federal police and, in a separate event, tried to bomb a tanker truck near the Brasilia airport.
  • Shortly before 2023 came along, mr "imbroxavel" fled the country to the USA. He came back in March 2023, which everyone agrees was a terrible mistake of his.
  • Last week, it was revealed that a number of generals and other high ranking army officers were ready and willing to help kidnap and assassinate Lula da Silva, Geraldo Alckmin (vice president) and Alexandre de Moraes (their arch-enemy and a supreme judge). They only didn't catch Moraes because, on the planned day, the supreme court session ended earlier than expected, messing their plans.
  • with all that failing, January 8th 2023 happened. Much to the fasshits' chagrim, that plan didn't work out either, because Lula didn't call the army to help.
    • Here's the thing: had Lula called the army to repress the terrorists (GLO, Garantia de Lei e Ordem, law and order guarantee, can be called by the president to defend the State), they would take the opportunity to seize the 3 houses (senate, congress and supreme court), effectively sealing the coup.

To the unending despair of brazilians with more than one working neuron, the hate cabinet has not been fully shut down: bozo or his son still has a bunch of idiots and bots to spread lies. While papa can't run for elections before 2030, his sons still can (one is a senator, no less), so they still have much to (re)gain.

It took less than 2 years for them to unseal the records and start doing something about it.

Meanwhile in the US, it has been 4 years and Trump still hasn't gone to trial about all the shit he did. He was caught on tape in Georgia, and still nothing. He sent emails to people in different states, and still nothing.

American politics has taught me that this isn't really that big a deal, apparently /s

That's only if you don't take democracy seriously.
