    I don’t know what Brazil has to do with January 6. In the United States

    Let me help educate you, the exact same thing as 6th Jan took place in brazil as well.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Brazilian_Congress_attack

    They cracked down on that shit, punished about half the people in a year and what hapepend to the Brazillian Trump, Jair Bolsonaro?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jair_Bolsonaro#Post-presidency_(2023–present)

    In 30 June 2023, the Brazilian Superior Electoral Court barred Bolsonaro from running for public office until 2030 as a result of his attempts to undermine the validity of Brazil’s 2022 democratic election, as well as for abuse of power with regards to using government channels to promote his campaign.[176][177] The decision applies to municipal, state and federal elections for the next eight years. He was prosecuted for several allegations of fraud in the 2022 Brazilian elections and situations linked to the January 8 attack on federal government buildings. The decision came after a 5–2 vote in favor of conviction. Following the decision, Bolsonaro stated his intentions to appeal.[177][178]

    On 31 October 2023, Bolsonaro was again convicted by the Superior Electoral Court over abuse of power for using official Brazil’s Independence Day ceremony to promote himself as a candidate which is banned under the Brazilian law. Former vice-president Walter Braga Netto who also attended the ceremony, and also ran for reelection in Bolsonaro’s ticket, was convicted by the Court and ruled disqualified, like Bolsonaro, to run for any office for the next eight years.[179][180]

    He’s been stripped of power, possibility of power, had is passport confiscated and generally been neutralised by the Brazillian legal system.

    It took them half a year, because, you know, They actually give a shit about democracy in Brazil. Meanwhile, trump is flying around wherever he wants despite being millons of dollars in debt, running for president again, and shilling shitty shoes.
