So terrible to see the disease and violence of fascism manifesting in Brazil in eerily similar ways to the recent grotesque insurrection in the US.

Supporters of free elections, which you do not support. You support Lie, Cheat, Steal - Democrat platform.

Get ‘‘em boys.. take back your country!

GildaFoster Imagine how the fascist Bolsonaro would handle an uprising if he were sworn in? Bloodshed

Sounds familiar.

Frumpy's pals have been down there agitating. No surprise.

RussianCollusionHoax continues

Just goes to show you how much people hate subhuman marxist trash.

That's because both China and the US interfered in that election. You know that.

Bolsonaro Lives Matter. There. Now you have to support them.

Trumpista

it’d be even more on the nose if they did it two days ago

The Trump Effect

Fascists gonna Trump

Is that Viking helmet fool there?

Let’s hope the law enforcement and military response to this attack is significantly more robust than what we saw in Washington on Jan 6th 2021.

MBGA?

Bolsonaro was a great president

Far right.

Stolen elections have consequences

Copycat

Domestic terrorists

wow, it's their Jan 6th but on Jan 8th

it’s be even more on the nose if they did it two days ago

Pretty f’d up “election” they had there… Something becoming quite regular for the left.

January 6th is spreading. Fascism creeps.

People are frustrated with corrupt elections.

Our democracy destroying bullshit is spreading.

Gee, wonder where they got that idea

Sounds like a good time for some military training exercises.

One wonders where they got the idea.

Pro-Bolsonaro protesters storm Brazil's Congress in capitalRIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress in the capital on Sunday, climbing on top of its roof and breaking the glass in its windows. Others demonstrators were gathering outside the presidential palace and Supreme Court, although it was not immediately clear whether they had managed to break into the buildings. When rebels fomented by our espionage agencies storm government buildings, the AP cheerleads. When it's a grassroots movement, the AP fearmongers. Learn to read through the propaganda. A bit of resentment there, or? Hey didn’t that happen somewhere a little while ago ?
