The same thing happened with Trump's accounts. Should we start making rules that big tech can no longer interfere with politics?
..Or will we only see this support when it comes to Liberal/Leftist politicians?
Many of these complaints are fascism in diaguise. You complain and want laws changed when it comes to your candidate and don't want the same rules to apply to the opposition.

This is an article about documented & acknowledged issues in the BRAZILIAN election. Try reading the actual article before bringing your favorite fascist dictator into the conversation.

Whatever. Even if it's true, it doesn't even come close to the systematic censorship of the brazilian right wing perpetrated by supreme court judges back around 2022. They're all shamelessly helping Lula now, too.
It looks like the right is going to win regardless, and those judges are going to be impeached. Next year looks promising.

The real coup was perpetrated by the supreme court in 2019 when it launched the "fake news" inquisition where the supreme court itself is the victim, investigator, prosecutor, judge and executioner trying wildcard crimes against themselves. They have usurped all power despite not having a single vote.
Bolsonaro's coup never actually took place, and even if it had, it'd only be a reaction to the concrete actions of the supreme court.
We just voted the most right wing senate in history just to impeach these judges and put them in jail. I have faith that I will see it next year. I'm really looking forward to it.

There is a literal juristocracy in place since at least 2019. Not a single person voted for these judges. Everything that happened in Venezuela is also happening here.
Opposition to "fascism" is purely academic at this point.

It literally did not happen. Whatever it is that he planned to do, in the end he just hopped on a plane to the USA and left everyone who believed in him to take the fall for it instead.

Brazil has not been a democracy for a while now, and the economy has already been destroyed by nearly two decades of left wing rule. It's time for change, yes.

FYI: real dictators don't get shut off from their accounts for years

21st century fascism, distilled.

The classic "It didn't happen, and it did..." from The Narcissist's Prayer.
If you are a fascist dedicated to destroy the democracy and economy.
