I know lots of people in Brazil who wrote publicly all the time about how they didn't agree with Dilma's impeachment (and thought it was legally improper) and didn't agree with her successors. They all managed to avoid torture or disappearance or the knock on the door in the middle of the night.

If the impeachment and its aftermath were a coup, they were definitely not a "60s style coup".
