If anything it’s way too mild.

I meant the guy had a concrete plan to topple democracy, assassinate other leaders and bring back dictatorship.

People like this should be thrown into prison for the rest of their lives.

If only he had actually attempted a coup and succeeded. Then maybe we wouldn't have had to live in a quasi-communist judiciary dictatorship.

You do realize the supreme court has been grabbing power since 2019 and by now is essentially running the country, right? A few days ago they once again walked all over our elected congress. Our institutions exist to give people the illusion of democracy. In fact, these unelected judges have usurped the powers of the legislative and executive branches of government. They are judge-kings.

How is Brasil right now not a dictatorship led by the supreme court though?

I'm not saying Bolsonaro is any good. Just saying Brasil is cooked either way and I don't get how anybody can take sides. It's like chosing between catshit or dogshit.
