You are assuming that nothing that has happened or is related to the president's second term has or will be uncovered by the investigation, which I believe is a very strong assumption. For example, there's the use of illegal money disguised as campaign donations for the reelection.

The current popularity numbers are another indicator that the protests are representative, much like the protests in favor of direct elections in the 80s. We're those not representative either?

By the way, her approval rates are as low as they have ever been for any president since Collor, who was impeached, and the numbers are low in all segments of society. And that's by Datafolha's numbers, an institute known to publish numbers biased towards the government.

I can only speak for the protests in Rio, of which I took part. I've seen people from all social and cultural spheres. I saw bus and truck drivers honking in support, and people waving Brazilian flags from their windows. I also saw the pan and pot protests that happened while her ministers were on TV giving the same old disconnected from reality speech.

I think it's this government that is living in a bubble, and hopefully it's about to burst.
