Yes. Bolsonaro. The Trump from the Tropics as they call him.

The guy planned a violent coup and failed. He couldn't get the all military branches to back him, just one. There's plenty of evidence and a long list of crimes.

He knows he's going to jail and with him the dreams of the extreme right.

To me all of this sounds like the dying scream of a cornered beast.

There not a single true statement in your comment. Why are you doing this?

Quoting far-left bootlicker bloggers and state media will not do it man.

I'm not quoting anyone. You can independently check all facts on the links I provided. They're not opinion pieces. They're just facts. There was an attempt to bomb an airport to create chaos. There were people blocking roads and camping on military bases asking for a coup. There was an invasion to the congress and to the SJ building by people asking for a military coup. There are confessions from military generals that Bolsonaro approached them to back his coup attempt. These are all facts available in plain sight for anyone to see.

> There was an attempt to bomb an airport to create chaos.

Lie.

> There were people blocking roads and camping on military bases asking for a coup.

Is camping and asking for a thing a crime? What is the crime?

> There was an invasion to the congress and to the SJ building by people asking for a military coup.

Vandalism is not the same as a coup attempt.

> There are confessions from military generals that Bolsonaro approached them to back his coup attempt.

Lie. He approached them about declaring emergency state. This is a constitutional measure. Dilma did the same thing, by the way.

The current president is quite left wing, at least by US standards. He was also president before. Then was charged with corruption. Then the chargers were annulled. I don't think you are going to get particularly unbiased answers about him from a predominately US website.

The last guy certainly is brazilian trump. I wouldn't call him worse than this literal world touring champagne socialist though. Brazilian trump said a lot of profoundly stupid things but I think he did alright managing the economy despite the pandemic and russian war. Current guy is spending money like there's no tomorrow and basically undid any and all progress last guy made out of spite.

The current guy is not a moderate, he is the biggest criminal in the country’s history.

He's lying. Lula is corrupt? Of course he is. Just as corrupt as anyone that came before and after him. But he's far from being the biggest criminal. He's the first president in BR history to really narrow the gap of social inequality.

That's why the extreme right hates him and persecuted him until he was illegally jailed. He was so popular that they were afraid that he would be able to install a communist government in Brazil.

But Lula is just a populist. He's center left and friends with all big bankers. He's far from a communist. But he's no angel.
