Live Updates: Brazil Election Protesters Storm Government Offices
I wonder whether the Brazilian authorities will treat these fascist whack jobs with as much gentle care as the US ones did.
you can bet your last Real they won’t get any white glove treatment… in fact some are In local jails and hospitals.
There’s also this juicy piece of info about the state of the presidential lodging after Bolsonsaro left:
Talk about criminal damage, and wilful neglect…

Bolsonaro is hiding out in Florida…
Looks like the Brazilian Supreme Court will send a request for the extradition of Bolsonaro back to Brazil. He entered the USA two days before his term ended on a A-1 visa. This guy is most likely getting advice from his idol in mar e largo.

I guess, more than anything, I'm just a bit shocked that you're so blase about an attempt to overturn an election at the point of a gun. I knew you were deeply cynical about democracy, and see most government fundamentally illegitimate, but I didn't realize we were so far apart that armed insurrection merits a LMFAO from you.
I'm probably not going to say anything constructive if I stay on longer tonight. It's been revelatory, even if quite dispiriting.
Were there shots fired by the protesters?
Heres the thing. No matter what kind of government we have, a small number of governing elite will rule. Democracy just provides the illusion that you have some control. I guarantee that nothing meaningful changes during the Biden administration. Odds are that we will be rattling Sabres in a year or 2 and people here will be saying what a. awful person some dictator is in some country that we want to invade. Politics are about power. Elections just determine who gets to rule.
Apologies if I can't get too worked up about our election. I'm sure as **** not going to protest. Heck, I don't even vote.
Interesting....

Some insurrectionists are being arrested. Their judicial authorities said they will be dealt with.
Unlike here, where our Jan 6 insurrectionists were not arrested and allowed to "peacefully" leave. After the arrival of the National Guard and the subsequent curfew they still did not arrest.
They are also asking for the arrest of complicit officials.
