The judges who trashed years of serious investigations because of some bullshit jurisdiction technicality, allowed the corrupt leader of the most scandalous party in the country to run for president and did everything in their power to get him elected? Yeah, just looking out for proper due process. Absolutely.

Bias? I don't give a shit, "kid". Do you have any idea what it feels like to have a president you know is a criminal rule over you? It's one thing to suspect, it's another thing to know. And he will rule over us, regardless of elected congress or senate, because the supreme court judges will force whatever law he wants into effect. Do you have any idea what it feels like to watch videos of prisoners cheering and drug traffickers celebrating with gunfire after his victory?

Yes, actually, we had 4 years of it from 2016-2020, and it came very close to not ending when he lost the 2020 election but never conceded.

Bolsonaro did concede. He immediately gave his greenlight to an orderly transition of power pursuant to the Constitution, which amounts to conceding wrt. the result.

I agree. I was referring to the US, as the parent was asking if anyone had experience living under a president they knew were a criminal, even if it hadn’t been officially proven, and my assumption was they meant “outside Brazil.”

Not really sure which videos are those. The only thing I see is a desperate attemp to argue in favour of Bolsonaro’s disastrous goverment with all the “far-right whatsapp” playbook.

Of course not. You want me to post them or something? I had links, they were all taken down but I saved them.

I don't even support Bolsonaro. I just don't support your president either.
