Hhhh I actually opened the link to truth social. It's fun how stupid a letter from a world 'leader' can sound. Feels a bit like being back in school.

Anyways. Fun would be if Lula goes for the run imposed by trump. Just tax imports from US by 200%, then trump goes 250. Add another 250% and so on.

Grab some popcorn then because it looks like Lula is heading down that path. Things are gonna get fun very soon.

Not even two days now and we've got leftists burning with patriotic fervor on social media. They've suddenly found a willingness to defend Brazil's sovereignty against US interference despite the fact they're unrepentant globalists. These are the same guys who hate the military and everything it represents. The same people who did everything in their power to destroy Bolsonaro, the guy who revived brazilian nationalism for a brief four years.

Watching this circus is truly a surreal experience.

Please don't bring the circus to HN.

> The same people who did everything in their power to destroy Bolsonaro, the guy who revived brazilian nationalism for a brief four years.

it is laughable to see Bolsonaro supporters destroy logic and call nationalism congressmen and ex-presidents asking for the US to tariff the Brazilian economy. But it is even more funny to see this backfiring - which is obvious, there is always a limit to how much you can attack your own country for political gains, including for the globalist far-right.

Lula is reelected now.

I'll stop posting if dang asks me to. Not you.

I didn't say the calls for tariffs were nationalism either. I said Bolsonaro managed to revive brazilian nationalism during the brief four years he was in power. I meant to imply that the current administration managed to destroy said nationalism. Destroying it was one of their explicit goals. They likened it to the denazification of Germany. Watching them appeal to nationalism now is just hilarious to me.

This is exactly what brazilians asked for and it's exactly what they should get. It's gotten to the point I think it'd be great if Lula was reelected. The brazilian right wing shouldn't have to spend years cleaning up the messes they leave behind only for them to come back later to enjoy the good times we've created. Let them hold onto power a little longer so that the bomb blows up in their hands.

Refrain from replying to me again if you can't muster enough respect to have a coherent discussion about our country's politics without calling others "minions". Bolsonaro is a coward who betrayed everyone who supported him. People went to jail for this guy while he was hiding in the USA like a rat. Don't call me a "Bolsominion".
